Curling is basically the only sport I watch, and I'm on the fence about abandoning it due to gambling ads.
Is it worth the $100+ a month? There may be alternate sources for curling streams where you don't have to pay to be bombarded.
I was on the fence about ditching cable when all I watched was hockey, but I'm glad I did. So now, Rogers loses out on my $2500 a year (tv and internet), and I have more free time as they're not broadcasting games over the air anymore
I'm hoping that the PWHL version of HNIC doesn't have any gambling involvement at all, because kids watch it!
