Barak Abramov angry (Shahar Gross)
The management of the Football Leagues Administration met today (Sunday) to discuss the sale of the broadcasting rights to a very stormy gathering. Barak Abramov, The owner of Bnei Yehuda, said: “What you are doing is a criminal proceeding, doing one hand.”
Abramov was referring to a conference initiated on Friday by Alona Barkat and Avi Luzon, of 11 team owners at Barkat at her home in Tel Aviv, in which representatives from 3 teams – Maccabi Tel Aviv, Maccabi Netanya and Bnei Yehuda did not take part. Eventually during the session today most would go for the “OTT” procedure.
Yaakov Shachar, the owner of Maccabi Haifa, previously tended to go for the process of selling the broadcasting rights through the groups, today supported the principal’s vote to go for the OTT procedure, and the same Zevik Greenberg, Hapoel Tel Aviv’s representative in the administration, unlike Sharon Nisnov who attended the meeting at Barkat. By the way, Greenberg was not aware that his group had signed the letter, and he does support OTT.
The person who opposed OTT today, apart from Avi Luzon, was Adv. Amir Navon, a representative of the Football Association. In fact, the meeting on Friday was, among other things, an attempt to dissolve the principal. A representative of one of the teams said today: “It was an attempt to dissolve the principal.” Some failed teams. ”
Yankele Shachar Warned today at the meeting: “If the principal is disbanded I will leave football.” Avi Luzon, who is accused of trying to dissolve the principal, told ONE in response: “The principal has not been disbanded and will not be disbanded.”
As mentioned, the administration announced that the management committee has decided to recommend the establishment of a digital broadcasting platform for Israeli football games directly to fans, on any screen and from anywhere. Those who voted in favor were Kalfon, Yaakov Shachar, Zeev Greenberg, Barak Abramov and Gil Baram (Nof Hagalil), while Avi Luzon and Adv. Amir Navon, the association’s representative, voted against.
