Adobe Flash Player 10.3 Cannot Be Installed

I try to watch BBC MotoGP and F1 but they refuse me till I install the latest Flash Player yet Flash says:

The last PowerPC Macs, (which includes all eMacs) were made in 2005. In 2006 Mac changed to using Intel Processors. Things move on and if Adobe no longer support old Macs, there is not a lot you can do about it unfortunately.

The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.
