TA: Fans often sing "The Premier League is really corrupt" to express their dissatisfaction with the soaring ticket prices and league policies

TA reported that in recent years, Premier League fans have been singing the slogan "The Premier League is really corruption" on the court, but this is usually not a literal allegation of corruption. In fact, this slogan has evolved into a form of protest to express deep anger and dissatisfaction among fans with many problems in modern football.

This general dissatisfaction stems from multiple aspects. First of all, the deterioration of the on-site viewing experience, including soaring ticket prices, cumbersome ticket purchase and transfer procedures, poor stadium facilities, and the ongoing controversy caused by VAR.

Secondly, watching live TV also requires subscribing to multiple expensive services. The deeper problem lies in the structure of the league, such as opaque and seemingly unfair financial rules, multi-club ownership models that erode club identity, and controversial sponsors.

fans generally feel that they are despised and powerless, because traditional methods such as boycott or online protests often have little effect. Therefore, this simple and direct slogan becomes an outlet for emotional catharsis, allowing fans to collectively express their powerlessness and anger towards complex issues during the game.
