Question

To any BMI pilots out there;
every time I pass through T1 there is an almighty great big ad for BMI showing a smiling pax whose main cause for joy is that even though he was at 30000ft, BMI had just got him the footy results.
In BA we have been told we must not under any circumstances use ACARS for obtaining sports results. ATC time is too precious to give out results, and you shouldn't be listening to the radio while flying.
Now I know how I do it (bending a few rules along the way) but if this is a service actively encouraged by BMI, then how do you get the results? Do you have SOPs pertaining to the acquisition of results?
