Since we're griping about ways that the CFL is not endearing itself to fans, I have to say that the lack of a non-cable option for legally watching the CFL affects my viewership a lot. I can watch just about other sport on some sort of annual subscription plan without cable, and the CFL isn't going to be the thing that makes me change my mind on cable... it'll just mean I watch less of it overall. I'd happily pay a bit to get a subscription, watch more CFL, and boost TSN's online viewership ratings in the process. Not sure if there's enough people like me to make it worthwhile, but given that they've already got the whole streaming system set up, a subscription system shouldn't be that hard to tack on.
