Manchester United balls: rip-off ‘revealed ‘
The BBC’s annual Price of Football study is a pretty useless exercise, unless, that is, you work in the media in which case it’s a rich source of bilge about how terrible football is. Media likes nothing better than writing about media, and the BBC bigs up its survey. Take this example on the BBC’s website:
Parenting web site Mumsnet has accused clubs of exploiting young fans after the BBC study revealed a full Manchester United junior strip, with name and number printed on the back, cost more than £100.
Mumsnet had no idea how much a football kit cost until the BBC’s investigative team of crack journalists went online and added up the bits.
Wow.
