Toronto FC’s Champions League game Thursday has been bumped to tape delay. Originally, the game was scheduled to play live on Setanta, but the schedule was changed at the last minute.
TFC fan are reacting with anger and frustration. Fan blogger Tim Drodge attempted to start a Twitter hashtag (#BigRSNFail) for fans to voice their displeasure. Other fans have been sending messages to Sportsnet directly chastising them for their decision.
The official Twitter feed for the network (@RogersSportsNet) appeared to be caught off guard, suggesting that the game would be seen live on Setanta. When told that it was removed from the schedule, he or she replied that they would look into it and report back. The author confirmed that the main network and SportsNet One could not show the game live because of “previously arranged commitments to baseball.”
CSN has asked for clarification and will update this story if any is received.
