Football's monopoly

[CrumblingTerrace]

The men's Premier League is expanding its live TV coverage.

It will soon occupy Fri nights, Sat lunchtime, Sat teatime, Sun early afternoon, Sun late afternoon and Mon night in the schedule.

Realistically, no other sport can compete with football in the UK, so this feels like it will put a tight squeeze on every other men's/women's pro sport.

Is it OK that one sport holds such a monopoly? Should Ofcom or the Dept. for Culture, Media & Sport or some other body have responsibility for a diverse range of sports being broadcast/played? What might this do to rugby's attempts to rebuild the game and attract new fans?

It's up to other sports to step up surely.

I have no interest in F1 but it seems to get a lot of coverage.
