You can hear me discussing whether Sky Sports has been a force for good or ill, on Radio 5 Live's Tony Livesey show here. The debate starts at around 24minutes 55 seconds in to the programme.

About Me
- Neil Clark
- I am a journalist, writer & broadcaster, based in the U.K. I am the author of 'Stranger than Fiction', a biography of Edgar Wallace, available here http://goo.gl/o2cZze , 'Champion Jump Horse Racing Jockeys 1945 to Present Day' and 'Flying Ace'. I have been a regular contributor to newspapers and magazines in UK & overseas including The Daily and Sunday Express, The Guardian, The Week, Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, The Spectator. My work has appeared in publications as diverse as The American Conservative, Woman's Weekly, and the Racing Post. I am strongly opposed to the neo-con war agenda -and believe in the urgent necessity of a left-right anti-war coalition. On domestic issues I support re-nationalisation of the railways and public utilities (I co-founded of The Campaign for Public Ownership), free care for the elderly, a free NHS including the restoration of NHS dentistry, and protection of the Green Belt and the countryside. I am anti-lockdown. FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @NEILCLARK66 and @MightyMagyar

Do UK football players have a collective bargaining agreement with the Premier League? Is there a player's union?
The reason I ask is because we're having a bit of a bother with American football. The collective bargaining agreement has expired, the owners have locked out the players, the owners and the players are suing each other, and there is the possibility of no 2011-12 season.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sets forth his case in the Wall Street Journal.
I realize this isn't exactly what you follow, but you write passionately about sports, and I believe this story covers issues you like to write about.
