Is it time for a full scale boycott of News Ltd papers?

[LESStar58]

A Melbourne fan boycotting News Limited? That will do me! :lol:

Get with the times, Maher. Haven't been owned by News for 2 years

P.s. Taylor Swift is an ugly, talentless merkin.

I might do that too.

I recognise doing this here is a little futile, but I can barely express the depths of utter loathing I now feel for News ltd as a result of this week (and I didn't like em much to begin with). Just had to get it out because their campaign against our game has just been f**king disgusting and they should be made to pay with a loss of readers.

Rebecca Wilson is the one who annoys me the most. I don't even know how she serves their purpose. She's always writing some boring negative feminist bullshit that takes up a whole page of the sports section. I can't imagine who enjoys her column. Maybe she's sucking some dicks in high places.

As stated somewhere else I did that to Whateley from the offsiders and Kent

If enough people start doing this it will eventually take it's toll.

This is what social justice warriors do and it works. They'll think they can repel a few "trolls" (as they'll put it) at first but they'll buckle when confronted by a lot of them.

Well, not that I want to suggest that, but her partner is former News Ltd chief John Hartigan... She's also an AFL ambassador so why the f**k she comments on League at all I don't know

Brisbane is going to be a weird issue for News.

They own the Broncos and the only paper in town.

No League = No circulation in QLD and would kill there revenue.

I'm guessing the QLD based News guys are going to pretend this isn't happening.

I hope it hurts them bad in Qld especially. The AFL invested millions getting the Lions to win 4 titles and the sport still doesn't matter a jot up there, so good luck converting the state into an AFL stronghold f**kwhits!

The NRL are still optimistic that Fox Sports will pay about $800 million for the rights to broadcast all eight matches a week live, including the four games on Nine, under a simulcast arrangement similar to the one they have with Channel Seven for AFL, and will be buoyed by the pay TV viewing numbers of 322,000 for Saturday night's Roosters-Broncos match compared with 60,000 for the Sydney AFL derby clash between the Swans and Giants.

The two games really aren't comparable though.

I've never needed to be given a reason not to buy Newscorps rot. Let the merkins burn

 

[Fairfax]

Well they are. Two live games in the same market.

Total nrl ratings three games yesterday nearly topped five afl games. That's gotta tell you something

Well yes THAT does, but those two games in particular were 1st vs. 2nd as opposed to the Swans taking on nuffies.

GWF still a finals chance against the Swines in the battle for the Garry Bridge. 8 page telecrap lift-out and 60k on tv lol.

It was a Sydney "derby", it can't get any bigger in the Sydney market, ya know the one that are trying to crack

 

[BunniesMan]

Get some perspective. If Super League itself couldn't hurt their profitability then this pale imitation certainly won't.

And FYI, Rupert doesn't make a profit on the DT. He could give it away for free and still earn billions. The money is in tv and movies. The papers in Australia are a drop in the ocean.

:lol: Good luck to them if they think they can crack it with putting that shit up against Broncos vs. Roosters 1st vs 2nd. Don't make me laugh.

It wasn't up against it dipshit.

Can someone explain to me why Murdoch has a pro AFL agenda?

 

[BunniesMan]

If you're going to debate, try not comparing apples and oranges. The AFL game in question was played at the same time as another, the NRL game was standalone. The AFL game was non heartland states. The NRL game was heartland states.

To get a meaningful comparison you would have to compare Broncos v Easts to a standalone game involving Melbourne and Perth teams in the top 4.

Long story short, he got the rights deal negotiated the way he wanted with the AFL, but the NRL negotiated 1 on 1 with 9 without including him.

Nrl games average ratings are far higher than afl I think it's about 45000 per game
