If any of these games are shown on Sky, they're \"blacked out\" & I can't watch them live.\r\n\r\nThe aim is to make people sign up for Sky, however if I've already paid to watch the sport why should I have to sign up for Sky?\r\n\r\nThis practice is used in America to help ticket sales - games are blacked out unless a certain percentage of stadium tickets are sold.\r\n\r\nThis practice shouldn't be used in the UK & it should be made illegal. It's appauling that I pay £100 a year for a service that's crippled because of Sky.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2014-01-04T21:32:12.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:29:37.275Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:43:09.928Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2014-01-04T21:32:12.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
