NOBODY can blame Liverpool FC for banning all reporters from the Sun newspaper from entering their ground.
The utter mis-information peddled by that rag was a disgrace and if they (The Sun) no longer want to publish RL, so be it.
Even with the low esteem that RL is held in with the media world, it would be disappointing to think that ANY RL fan would buy such a pile of chip paper.
I know that RL needs all of the publicity that it can get but, I'm happy with Liverpool FC's principles on this one
If they don’t want to allow Sun journalists into Anfield that’s fine....but like I said don’t go out looking to attract and bring other sports to Anfield (which they’re trying to do since the stadium upgrade) and tell them late in the day they can’t have certain part s of the media there. Either put that part of the deal out there right from the START before agreeing or don’t have it at all.
People can get on their moral high horses now but I don’t recall seeing RL fans protesting or petitioning AT ALL in the last 30 years either towards their own club or the RFL asking them to ban The Sun journalists from RL grounds or events. Don’t recall anybody complaining that Sun journalists were allowed into St James Park in previous years. Where was you support for Liverpool then or any of the previous 30 years before they wanted to host RL? So it’s not a subject RL fans truly feel strongly about at all, just in trend at the moment like so many moral high horse views are.
Just because some on here have a higher opinion of themselves and think of themselves as better than the people who do read The Sun isn’t a valid or good reason to not have it cover RL regardless of whether it’s limited. We should be trying to increase how much EVERY paper covers RL, not going backwards.
