translated from Spanish: Boca and River v. AFA over breakup of Fox Sports deal

In the midst of the Professional League draw, the first controversy broke out in this new stage of Argentine football with River and Boca at the helm. This time the reason for the dispute has to do with the unilateral termination of the television contract that united the Argentine Football Association and Fox Sports Latin America.In the face of the purchase of Fox’s ESPN network worldwide, AFA leaders voted with a result of 20 votes in favour of 24 with the termination of this link that takes away 50% of the rights and enables him to be able to Turner (TNT Sports) to acquire that percentage with a proposal.
With this latent situation, which will be resolved in the coming days, River and Boca came out to the crossroads because of the decision that took place on the committee and published the same press release, highlighting that none of the clubs were part of the decision and “do not consider it fair”.
River and Boca’s statement
Following the announcements of the Argentine Football Association of amendments to the football televising contract, River Plate and Boca Juniors report that they were not part of the definition of the new contractual scenario and in turn state that they do not consider it fair not to have participated in such an important decision for the future of football and clubs. While the AFA, through the Professional Football League, has the attribution to make such decisions, Boca and River are a fundamental part of the sporting spectacle and understand that the two clubs should have been consulted throughout the process that led to this change in the ownership of the television rights contract, and not just be informed of the final result.
