Stop talking about soccer like politics

At first I was a bit unsure about the TV rights issue but as a fan I also knew that it was impossible for the PSL to deny people the right to watch football on TV.

I was, however, disgusted by the reaction of the political parties the news.

Firstly, where were these parties when our soccer was poor and when the so-called public broadcaster mistreated our soccer with delayed games or no game at all.

As for Blade Nzimande (South African Communist Party's general secretary), whom I suspect does not even know how many teams are there in the PSL, to say he will mobilise us as soccer fans to protest. Stop talking about soccer like politics as if it's about the (ANC) succession battle.
