But, be warned, kids: the bar might soon have second thoughts about showing that game. They will then offer TSN and Sportsnet — and their various regional feeds — as standalone packages at significantly increased fees.

Would some bars simply turn off the TVs rather than pay a large increase for TSN and Sportsnet?
