Yep, and I'm an optimist. Last year's CPL Final was a classic. That icicle kick was seen 1 billion times on YouTube.
Folks in Latin America are beginning to tune in. Mexicans specifically love the potential. I've seen multiple Spanish podcasts covering CPL.
What needs to happen is more Canadian media buy-in. Which is going to be tough because you know Rogers and MLSE will do their damnedest to lock out everything not related to the "major league" Toronto market—if they could.
But this is why I'm boosting domestic leagues. Frankly, it's ridiculous that Canadians believe American leagues validate our sporting culture. Which is so damn ridiculous.
