Good in depth article on the CSA / national team negotiations, as well as the agreement with CSB. There are some excellent details about the deal signed and what all was involved. And it really shows how Bontis has handcuffed the organization for decades with this deal.
From a CPL / Cavalry perspective the deal was a massive win, this means professional soccer is here to stay. The deal is going to keep CPL and its clubs stable right out of the gate, allowing them to organically build fanbases over years / decades, which has been the biggest struggle in getting things off the ground in this continent. Long term the league needs to be sustainable on its own without a deal like this propping it up, but right now a deal like this is critical.
Browna, this is your cue to rant.
