No coverage of this exciting and spectacular race, almost always won by Kenya but twice won by GB and this year won (why I'm aware of it) by Morocco. Looks fabulous.

The Olympics has been a disaster in the broadcasting. I thought the Olympics was one of the Grand Jewels and was mandatory to be free to air. I know Wimbledon has to be free to air but the BBC don't have to get the rights. Discovery own a number of Freeview channels and I am sure they could free up their channels to be dedicated to Wimbledon. Quest show live sports and Discovery own that channel also.

Only until 2024. The English Premier League success, in live weekly broadcasting to every country on earth - driven by Murdoch - has changed sport forever.

Now, it's easy to watch any sport live - anywhere. Sports bars are everywhere too; you just decide which screen you want to watch - on which wall!

Not many sports bar in the UK or Ireland. It's not USA where they are in most big cities.

There are many in London (West End mainly), Dublin (off O'Connell Street) and in every European city.

Watching a variety of sports in different countries, continents and time zones - simultaneously.

Often using technology designed to overide paywalls, and 'Taliban TV' - a euphemism for illegal methods.

This is one of the best, even showing live ice hockey from Alaska - and wrestling from Helsinki, at the same time. As well as the EPL.

Not many people will travel to London to watch a live game unless you're in the area for weekend or so Barney.

If they don't show American stock car racing it's not a sports bar. I hate football, rugby, tennis, golf, GAA sports are very much and not really that popular outside of Ireland. Freestyle/Greco wrestling has the potential to be FTA it's a very popular sport in American schools. I know BT show NCAA but I have giving up subscribing to TV in any shape and form. I don't even have Amazon Prime. What I hate is that UK sports are behind a paywall and USA has a lot of sport on FTA.

I have subscribe a lot of money to get live sport in my pubs in the past. Freesports on Freeview I have heard it does okay in ratings. However the rights are NHL, MLS, snooker, rugby, cricket, lacrosse, softball and Japanese football. Another cure for insomnia right there for me. I liked ice hockey when I was younger but grew out of it just like pro wrestling however I was at the first Wrestlemania.

It's not just London! Sports bars are growing fast everywhere (all countries) because the ingredients - alcohol and sport - are a great combination.

For the final South Africa/Lions game this Saturday, they'll be packed as the layouts are ideal for watching sport - whilst being served beer by smiling waitresses.

Yeah OK Barney.

Still not one showing Nascar 😒.

Fuck the football.

And, in the US, it's virtually impossible to watch greyhound racing...

No because horse racing is their thing.

Anyway it's not really sport but an investment.

Wrong. Loads of sports bars show NASCAR here - although there's little demand for it in the UK.

It's easy for the bars as it's part of the Spy Sports package - and includes NASCAR Trucks and Xfinity.
