Not to mention the app is on so few platforms, furthering its inaccessibility.

OneSoccer is pretty great, though, and an obvious path for CSA/CPL/CSB to take rather than relying on broadcasters to show games. Remember that TSN would not show every CMNT/CWNT game when they had the rights. This idea that traditional TV holds the key to the future of CMNT/CPL is entirely misplaced, and although there is some market share traditional TV is not the future and not where the future will be watching. Creating OS allows for complete control over the broadcasts, matches, etc. No sense selling your soul to TSN/SN for five minutes on highlight shows that are seeing diminishing audiences.
Sweating over tonight's game, which I will find very easy to watch on browser.
