No, the fact that the image accompanying the article showed a RU match, and they refer to the three lions, which of course are our association football team, not RL team name.

Things like this are what is hard to take for me. We see the BBC regularly promote the hell out of stuff they show. Yet all too often they ignore RL even when they are showing it for over 4 hours on a Saturday afternoon. I could understand if Sky were showing this or it wasn't televised or even if the BBC wasn't even aware it was taking place but they are bleeding showing it. There is no excuse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulboy Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 At least the BBC are consistent with the contempt they have for RL. The main thing is,there's not an hidden agenda against RL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
