Beşiktaş criticized the broadcaster's attitude toward the mass brawl in the Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe derby, recalling the approach taken during the disciplinary process previously applied to their player Dusan Vlahovic and arguing that a double standard is being practiced.

Beşiktaş Club harshly criticized the broadcaster's editorial policy regarding the events in the Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe derby. The club stated that previously, an action by their player Dusan Vlahovic was repeatedly shown on screen by the broadcaster, effectively presented as a file to the TFF Legal Consultancy, which led to the player receiving a penalty.

The black-and-white club claimed that during the mass brawl that occurred after the derby, the broadcaster used wide-angle shots to camouflage the events. Beşiktaş questioned why the reflex of close-up tracking, which is employed when it concerns them, changes during altercations involving other clubs.

Furthermore, describing the interruption of Bülent Yıldırım's speech on the 'Trio' program as an intervention by the broadcaster's executives, the club asked the Turkish Football Federation whether they would use their authority to collect evidence ex officio under Article 75. Beşiktaş also reminded that there are criminal complaints filed with the prosecutor's office regarding the broadcaster's policies.
