I noted on the Fox World website that the semi's and the finals of the WC will
be on pay per view. I don't know if this is the only option other than either
satellite dish or going to a bar but it really is mystifying to me that for all
intense purposes the WC will be inaccessible to all but those that really want
to see the matches.
How the hell is rugby going to be "spread to the masses" with such incredibly
limited coverage. There is no way that an audience can be built for the sport
in this country unless people can tune into the games. It looks like yet
another World Cup is going to come and go without anybody but the devoted
figuring out how and where to see the games. For all intense purposes the WC
does not exist in this country and the alleged benefits of seeing the sport
presented on the world stage will be lost yet again.
Anybody else have thoughts or observations on this? Maybe someone can prove me
wrong and tell me that yes indeed the games will be available. Help, anyone?
By the way, how much does it cost to rent a satellite dish for a month?
