True but they do allow your sports stations to show the matches when they are willing to pay for the tv rights from OneSoccer. So it’s on the broadcasters more than the league.

The broadcasters were willing to show the games when the league first began and then Canada Soccer and the CPL thought they could make more money selling the rights to MediaPro who created One Soccer.

2.5 Billion for MLS also helps it grow. Part of that money is going into advertising. Apple is already spreading the word about MLS. If this works, all leagues NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA will follow suit.

Apple wants to make a play for them, so why not? Apple could give each league $50 billion each for streaming rights if they wanted to. Would the big 5 leagues really turn that money down?
