I think this will have a long term positive effect rather than a short term loss......

When the premiere league rights are up, I can see individual clubs like Liverpool, Man utd / city, Chelsea all wanting to sell their rights individually to the masses to keep their foreign legions of fans happy..

And will hopefully break the Sky / Permier League monopoly.

Great news. Maybe get proper sports on the TV now instead of overpaid foreigners.
