Curling clubs across Canada are rallying together and pushing back against what they see as unfair treatment by the country's two biggest cable television providers. While many curling clubs generate revenue from alcohol sales, Curling Canada argues the biggest difference between sports bars and curling clubs is the motivation for those sales. Kerbel says Rogers reached out to Curling Canada to say it is open to discussing potential solutions, and Curling Canada confirmed the sides plan to talk on Thursday. "Curling Canada has expressed a legitimate concern and we've reached out to them to discuss opportunities for their members," he says. "Sportsnet deeply appreciates the contributions curling clubs play in promoting the sport across the country, and we value our relationship with the curling community."
