    Yeah, there’s nothing quite like unbridled capitalism. So why are you for it? Does Rogers and the NHL not have enough profits for you to feel joy on their behalf?

      How come it comes across from my comment that I am in favour of Rogers OR the NHL? I am a pretty big hater of both exactly because of unbridled capitalism.

        So you aren’t against unbridled capitalism and your defense for opposing the proposal is the strawman of compelling them to give it away rather than compelling them to sell at a reasonable rate as the article suggests. So which is it? Unbridled, or regulated? Only you are suggesting they should do it for free.

        I understand now. You’re legitimately suggesting that. I thought it was an extreme suggestion to point to the absurdity of what is actually being asked. Tone in text sucks.

        Well, I’m not against that either.

      Its not even (entirely) about Rogers.

      In order to see all of some team’s games you need to subscribe to Sportsnet and TSN and Amazon. And even then there will be games blacked out for regional reasons.

      I blame that fragmented bullshi completely on the league’s greed.
