Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I have seen the poll about the European Super League (31 August) in which you reported:
"In a new MORI poll, 70 per cent of British football fans say that replacing the current Uefa club competitions with a midweek European Super League would be a `good thing'. Only 18 per cent are against." This gives the impression that Real Football Fans like the idea of the Super League.
However, having read the description of a football fan as being "those who watch football on television at least once a month (excluding the World Cup) or who would be interested to watch matches between the top European clubs", I and many other Real Football Fans would be interested if you conducted a proper survey into people who actually attend matches.
I am sure that if you asked this question outside football grounds (that's where you find football fans) then the result would be an overwhelming thumbs down for this proposal.
I hope you are able to release the results of any proper polls of fans, which would destroy the myth that the money-men in football are trying to instil.
