Vol. I ← Grant Willian Price: Free / Protest

The Independent Football Gazette

Football Phenom

Loot boxes, financial rules, and the money behind the modern game.

What we want

Both stories come down to the same thing: rules that only matter if someone enforces them in the open.

From EA

  • Publish the odds for every pack, before you buy.
  • Enforce the age rating at the point of purchase.
  • Sell items directly instead of by chance.

From the Premier League

  • Explain any sanction publicly, with reasons.
  • Match the sanction to the scale of the breaches.
  • Check sponsorship deals tied to club owners independently.
