I'll tell you what pisses ME off so much...
The inordinate amount of media coverage given to football.

The fact is, these days we have many more channels than before. There are several DEDICATED sports channels, which sports fans can watch.

Why is it then, that when I turn on BBC News 24, there's about a 1 in 3 chance that they're reporting on "Sports news".

This is NOT NEWS. Unless it is actually truly [inter]nationally significant - like our national team winning some major tournament, or reporting on a huge event like the World Cup or the Olympics - which are general interest - then these local team results and player purchases etc belong on the sports channels. If a sports fan wants to hear the latest, then they can tune in to one of their dedicated channels. Now stop wasting my news time with boring irrelevancies.
