There’s no lack of things different this shortened 14-game Canadian Football League season, but opening week has been a time to get your head wrapped around one of them.
Every day, every team, is required to report every injury and the status of that injury leading up to game day.
With single-game and single-proposition betting having been legalized in Canada and with a desire to make fantasy football leagues an addictive part of proceedings for younger demographics, NFL-style injury reporting has arrived. And the CFL teams have shown for openers that they’re serious about it.실시간 스포츠배팅
“Sports betting is a game changer,” Edmonton Elks president & CEO Chris Presson said when I asked him for his take on what we witnessed with the daily reporting this week.
“It not only generates dollars but also creates greater fan engagement and more interest from the casual fan. Anytime you have skin in the game, your sensitivity to the outcome becomes heightened and the greater fan you tend to become.”
When I contacted former Edmonton president & CEO Rick LeLacheur, now in the same capacity with the B.C. Lions, his response was totally gung-ho positive, as well.
“The injury reporting is a big step and the right step for the CFL,” he responded. “With the change to single-game sports betting, injury information reporting plays an integral role in those wishing to bet on the outcome of a game.
“Football has always been one of the one of the largest volume producers of sports betting. We believe within the next few years, this will secure another revenue stream for both the Lions and the CFL.”
In Regina, Roughriders president & CEO Craig Reynolds went on record as recognizing positives in another direction.
“I’m really excited about it. It’s been a long time coming,” said Reynolds, answering a question from Regina Leader-Post football writer Murray McCormick on a Roughriders pre-season video interview earlier this week. “To me, it’s about professionalism and transparency. I think our fans deserve to know that. I think our fans need to know what players might be available. It helps the storyline of who is likely going to play and who is likely not to play.
