Though not the first league to do it (NLL was), good move by the CFL IMO. Obviously we won't know the full benefits of doing this, but I've continually heard people complain about the lack of CFL games on digital platforms, and considering the growth of social media and sites like youtube in the last 5 years, this is a step in the right direction.

It can't be streamed on YouTube in Canada. You need to use TSN Go or RDS Go officially.

Looks good but who in most parts of the world is going to watch? Having it on doesn't mean people will know it's on or what it is. If you're a Canadian living elsewhere you'll be excited.

Building an audience has to start somewhere though. I know that Orridge has come under much criticism on this forum but one of his stated goals is to build the audience for Canadian professional football beyond Canadian borders and this is a good start.

Agreed.

You'd be surprised. World wide accessibility is nothing to poo poo. It's the reason I started following Rugby. Not saying it will bring in millions of dollars, but there's no reason to ridicule the idea.

No worries.
Given their small population, they wouldn't add much in the way of viewership.
:D

Chinese all know of the CFL as they make plenty of the merch. I hear that every second car has a Pinball bobble head mounted on the hood. The Argo logo is used on spinner hubcaps.
