من المبكر الحكم على قرار منح منصة «ثمانية» الرقمية حقوق بث مسابقات كرة القدم السعودية، فـ«ثمانية» لا تملك قنوات تلفزيونية ولا خبرة تراكمية أو تجارب سابقة في القيام بهذه المهمة، لذلك سيتم التأسيس من الصفر لتنفيذ هذا المشروع، الذي لا يمكن القيام به دون الاستعانة بخبرات وتجارب ومساعدة الآخرين !
البناء من الصفر من الناحية التقنية واللوجستية تحد كبير ومكلف، لكن البناء من الناحية الفنية قد يكون فرصة لتأسيس إعلام رياضي مهني يحد من سلبيات الممارسات الإعلامية الرياضية التي عمّقت التعصب في المجتمع !
التأكد من ضم إعلاميين ومحللين مهنيين يضعون ميولهم الرياضية جانباً للبرامج التحليلية والرياضية التي ستصاحب محتوى قنوات «ثمانية» الرياضية يبدو ضرورياً لمواكبة المشروع الرياضي وتحقيق أهدافه، فلا يجب أبداً أن تكون البرامج والاستديوهات التحليلية في «ثمانية» نسخة مما نراه اليوم، كما أن التعذر بجاذبية طرح التعصب والمناكفات للمشاهدين غير مقبول، فدور الإعلام تعزيز الوعي والقيم في المجتمع، كما أن أشهر شبكة قنوات رياضية عربية في العالم التي تملك حقوق بث معظم الدوريات والبطولات العالمية تجد في استديوهاتها التحليلية وبرامجها الرياضية رزانة مهنية لم تفقدها مشاهداتها العالية !
وإذا كان الجمهور الرياضي يجمع على شيء اليوم، فهو أمنياته بأن ينجح مشروع «ثمانية» في تقديم محتوى يلبي طموح الجمهور، الذي اشتكى كثيراً منه من سوء النقل والإخراج التلفزيوني للمباريات وضعف بعض البرامج الرياضية وسوء اختيار بعض مقدميها ومحلليها وضيوفها !
باختصار.. ستحصل «ثمانية» على فرصة من الجمهور الرياضي لأنه محبط من التجارب السابقة، لكن الميول في الحكم على هذه التجربة سيكون لذائقة المشاهد !

It is too early to judge the decision to grant the digital platform "Thamaniya" the broadcasting rights for Saudi football competitions, as "Thamaniya" does not own television channels nor does it have cumulative experience or previous trials in undertaking this task. Therefore, it will be built from scratch to implement this project, which cannot be done without the assistance of expertise, experiences, and help from others!
Building from scratch in terms of technical and logistical aspects is a significant and costly challenge, but building from a technical standpoint could be an opportunity to establish a professional sports media that mitigates the negative aspects of sports media practices that have deepened intolerance in society!
Ensuring the inclusion of professional journalists and analysts who set aside their sports biases for the analytical and sports programs accompanying the content of "Thamaniya" sports channels seems essential to keep pace with the sports project and achieve its goals. The programs and analytical studios at "Thamaniya" should never be a replica of what we see today, and the excuse of attracting viewers through the appeal of intolerance and disputes is unacceptable. The role of the media is to enhance awareness and values in society. Moreover, the most famous network of Arab sports channels in the world, which holds the broadcasting rights for most leagues and global tournaments, maintains a professional decorum in its analytical studios and sports programs that has not diminished its high viewership!
If there is one thing that the sports audience agrees on today, it is their hopes that the "Thamaniya" project succeeds in providing content that meets the aspirations of the audience, which has frequently complained about the poor transmission and television production of matches, the weakness of some sports programs, and the poor selection of some of their presenters, analysts, and guests!
In short, "Thamaniya" will have an opportunity from the sports audience because they are frustrated with previous experiences, but the inclination to judge this experience will depend on the viewers' taste!
