Sam Ackerman: Sport commentator rejects international concerns over R360
Manage episode 512451445 series 2098280
The discourse surrounding the R360 League is growing increasingly heated.
The rugby unions of New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, England, Ireland, Scotland, France and Italy issued a joint statement on Wednesday (NZT) refusing to endorse the proposed Saudi-funded competition.
Sport commentator Sam Ackerman says the unions are overreacting- "that's like saying back in the day, if you had converted to, to rugby league, then you could never go back to rugby union or vice versa."
He told Ryan Bridge that the players shouldn't be blamed for taking a good opportunity.
