The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has taken the drastic action to suspend all domestic matches from May 16 onwards as an ongoing dispute between several parties and the government over new TV rights and plenty of other matters continue.

That’s right folks, the La Liga season will grind to a halt two weeks before the end of the current campaign as league officials will suspend all matches.

More on the rationale:

The dispute centres around a law passed last week which forced the RFEF to sell television rights for La Liga collectively. Currently, all clubs negotiate rights individually, a policy which hugely favours powers Barcelona and Real Madrid financially.

Right now, a ridiculous majority of TV rights falls into the laps of two clubs. This law was meant to add some balance to it
