The day the football died

This will be quick, and hopefully the next one won't be written with such discontent.

Today 26th Februaru 2010 Portsmouth were the first Premier League club to enter administration. Right this means that the business has been declared incapapble of running itself. Now the word that annoys me in that sentence is BUSINESS. When you hear the Premier League described, and I quote, as a "trading zone" you know football has gone down the crapper. I hate to say it again as it's been in my previous posts, but football isn't a business its primary aim isn't to make a profit, its primary aim is to be successful in football which means winning things. It now seems as though the latter can't be done without out millions of £'s at your disposal.

The Premier League is NOT A "TRADING ZONE" it is a sporting competition, it's like calling the Olympics a TV programme. Sport shouldn't be refered to like a business as it means so much more than that.
