All sporting events involving the English national team category A - free to air

Petition Details

The government should legislate to require any sport events where any English national team team is participating to be classed as category A so that the public who have a TV licence are able to watch live broadcasting of it.

Additional Information

At present, we feel wealth dictates who can watch. Being able to watch the national team could increase pride in the nation.

Beyond enabling the public to watch, enjoy and support the English team live, this viewing could increase community wellbeing.

Being able to watch live sports events not only provides pleasure and excitement, but may foster community cohesion and participation in sport. The loss over time of having live free coverage, is taken as given and this should not be the case. This right should be returned through legislation.
