I don't think giving up one's national sport is really the right response here. We should absolutely be able to enjoy sports without bowing down to regulatory-capture-by-former-government-ministers

You're right, you absolutely should... but the only way to tell them that you don't like their policies is to stop giving them your money.

and how do you stop giving them money? you watch it on a pirate site where none of the revenue is going to the league. not watching it at all is just performative sacrifice
