Somewhat hilarious regarding La Liga.

No....just legit hilarious:

Spain's leading football administrators have claimed online piracy is putting the very future of the professional game at risk, while calling for harsher legislation and heavier punishments against fans who view illegal streams of matches.

Tebas (La Liga President), who has defended the current system that sees Madrid and Barca receive the majority of all TV revenues generated, said at the event that new, stricter anti-online piracy laws were required to safeguard the competitive future of Spanish football.

Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu, whose club is under investigation by the Spanish courts for potential fraud in the signing of Neymar, said that fans watching games online could potentially put teams out of business.

Atletico president Enrique Cerezo -- who was found by a Spanish court to have taken control of the club by illegal means but escaped punishment on a legal technicality, and whose club owes 107 million euros in taxes to the Spanish state -- said that those who watch unauthorised online streams of games must be punished.

Earlier this year, the Liga de Futbol Profesional launched an anti-piracy education campaign, including a video featuring players such as Andres Iniesta, Gabi and Bruno Soriano. This video sought to explain the seriousness of the issue by showing images of players being violently assaulted by ordinary fans.

Oh yes, La Liga is in good hands.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
