I was thinking that one passable alternative to showing real love sports for a broadcaster like Sky would be to set up some esports competitions and show these instead. There are a lot of people without their regular fix of TV sport ‘anaesthetic’ and esports could perhaps fulfil that role. I know that such competitions already exist and I think they have sometimes been shown on tv (I’ve never paid them much attention) but there is now a huge hole in the market... good idea? Bad idea?
