I hope that changes with ESPN.

Imagine if tennis never spread to Canada. Toronto/Montreal has had a big tournament for decades without a Canadian player. It probably should have been removed according to some logic here. And now we have players!
I have no problems with the business wanting to grow, my only gripe is that they do it at the expense of long time fans. I mean, look at the schedule. NHL playoff Friday night hockey! Then off again until Monday? They aren't catering the product to Canadians anymore.
