LIVE STREAM: Parliament Debate on British Basketball Funding

By Sam Neter on February 20, 2018

Watch the Parliament debate around funding for British basketball direct from the House of Commons at 9:30am on Tuesday morning.

The debate has been driven by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Basketball, having been commandeered by Co-Chair of the APPG Basketball, Alex Sobel MP, as he will lead the debate.

It will mark the first House of Commons debate around basketball in 5 years, and is in response to British Basketball’s latest funding crisis, that will see them withdraw from competitions unless they find a source of income soon.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
