WJC: At what point does TSN pause/pull out of their broadcasting contract with Hockey Canada and the world juniors?

TSN would need the IIHF to take away the rights from Hockey Canada which is complicated.

It's the premier, highest rated event on TSN's schedule, so ... ummm ... never is the answer you're looking for.

Please reword your poll question to avoid the dreaded double-negative.

Yes, TSN should broadcast the world juniors. If some people decide not to watch then TSN can respond accordingly, though the deal with Hockey Canada goes on for over ten more years. Not that that is a realistic option anyway.
The question is likely less “people decide not to watch” so much as “advertisers refuse to buy ad time”.

The classic negative poll question which means one answer is a double negative.
You could have just asked should they still broadcast it.

Maybe they could use the platform of the World Juniors to advocate doing the right thing in these situations instead of ignoring it and hoping it goes away.

I hope so. Plus it's shitty to punish kids who haven't actually been accused of anything.
1.) why should the 2022 team not live out their dreams because of 2018? If the 2022 kids were to be involved in the same kind of thing and they couldn’t ice a team I could see Canada withdrawing but tsn would still broadcast it.
2.) multiple Canadians have multiple passports. Why should American/European Canadians not get to watch their home countries?
Many route for both. My family roots for canada/Finland.
I watch other teams if my team has a top draft pick
This makes no sense.

Take the word “not” out of your poll question.
Should TSN broadcast the World Juniors? YES.

There are a bunch of unhappy posters who think, "I'm unhappy and I want everyone else to be unhappy, too, so let's cancel the WJR's".

Yes, I demand that we cancel everyone and everything ever that hasn't shown to have a 100% squeaky clean track record.
Corporations need to make these decisions for the people as we are not intelligent enough to do so.
We just need to keep giving them our money and letting them tell us how to live our lives. Should they ever come under scrutiny for anything we need to accept that it was a totally different circumstance and they should not be held accountable as a regular person would.

I wonder why you didn't just ask the poll question simply, instead of making it a bit confusing?
You could have asked, "should TSN broadcast the world juniors, instead you went with the "should they not broadcast"....why is that?
Agreed, it would be a real stupid decision imo. It wouldn’t do anything to improve the culture within Hockey Canada or the sport itself, hurts the fans and the current players of all countries who can use the exposure to springboard their career, and 99.9% of them aren’t guilty of anything. We really need to resist this overly reactionary approach to this.
Probably but that will be quite difficult to prove with this much time between then and now. We also don’t really know much details regarding that case. If we start going down the road of firing or cancelling every person who was aware to a degree then a lot of people will be implicated. By this logic then even someone like Gord Miller whose been involved intimately with hockey Canada and more than likely would have gotten wind of something like this should also be fired. I’ve been to many WJC, met Gord Miller and many like him in the media are very cozy with the top brass of Hockey Canada. No chance all those media members wouldn’t have heard something either. But I don’t think we can start firing people for just knowing or hearing stories, because there are so many degrees to that and it’s very hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt

Why should we “cancel” hockey as a whole just because of what 8 guys did? If it comes out that what happened is true let the authorities treat those guilty just as they would treat one of us. No need to ruin it for everybody. Wording of the poll also isn’t the greatest.
