Rogers Sportsnet One -- Greedy beyond measure

I've talked before about how po'd I am at the Rogers Corporation.

Why?
Because the games are being aired on Rogers Sportsnet One -- available only to Rogers digital subcribers.
And what upsets me even more is that I've been yelling about this for weeks now and nobody was listening.
But make it a hockey issue?
Oh, OK, now we'll sit up and pay attention.
Which, I believe, was exactly Rogers' plan.

Feel free to tell Rogers what you think:  feedback@sportsnet.rogers.com
