NFL hopeful the Trudeau government will overturn CRTC Super Bowl ad ruling

[ticatfan]

Bell and the NFL have asked for an order setting aside the CRTC decision, arguing that the regulator has no jurisdiction to prohibit the simultaneous substitution of the Super Bowl ads under its own so-called "sim sub" regulations, and that the ban contravenes the Copyright Act.

The league complained Wednesday that the CRTC has been using legal roadblocks to slow the courts in hearing the case and urged the Trudeau Liberals to step in.

"The CRTC's legal maneuverings each step of the way have only served to delay this process in an apparent attempt to run out the clock and sidestep the challenge," the NFL said in a statement.

"While the NFL continues to preserve its legal rights and press its case in Canadian courts, the League remains confident that the Government of Canada will act reasonably and responsibly before the 2017 Super Bowl to address this arbitrary attempt by the CRTC to disadvantage not only the NFL, but Canadian broadcasters and the Canadian creative community as well."

Screw it-don't broadcast the game in Canada. They don't know what real football is anyway.

It is real football, that is how men play it, not the watered down version America came out with. Real football do not have a gay catch rule. And did you know Canada taught you the game of football or otherwise you would be watching Soccer.LOL
