Not sure how TSN will survive. Not sure the EPL ,La Liga etc will survive.
All bets are off.

Uninformed negative conjectures like that get us nowhere. Yes, I've read the articles on the EPL problems, but what you will see before any traditional leagues folding (exclude XFL) is the player's unions accepting terms on sane salaries. Demanded transfer fees are already lessening.
I have discussed this with a few people and I still don't know the answer. Will people come back in droves because they miss it or will there be a new normal with separated seats, capacities lessened, and the like.
I tend to lean to less people but people have been violating distancing recommendations in parks and other places so who knows if sports will come back the way they were.
With its reasonable salaries (that were already covered by the TV contract) the CFL is reasonably placed to weather the storm.
