On August 26, in the second round of the Premier League, Liverpool easily defeated Brentford 2-0. Famous commentator Bryn Law harshly criticized the Sky Sports broadcast, stating that they show clear favoritism towards big clubs and lack any semblance of objectivity.
Bryn Law angrily said, “Sky Sports’ broadcast of this match, from the host, commentators to the studio guests, were all Liverpool legends. Is this a local Liverpool TV station broadcasting the game? Can’t they find a Brentford legend to be a guest? Are they so biased towards the big clubs now that they don’t even bother to pretend to be objective?”
In Sky Sports’ broadcast, the commentator for this match was Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, paired with renowned English commentator Peter Drury; the host was Kelly Cates, daughter of Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish; another Liverpool legend, Phil Thompson, was invited as a guest to participate in the broadcast of the match.
The broadcast lineup, from host to commentators and guest analysts, was entirely made up of Liverpool figures, with no presence of a Brentford legend.
