If the NFL isn't allowed to sell exclusive rights in Canada, what if they refuse to sell the rights in Canada at all?  This would force blackouts on the US channels.  I am sure there are treaties that would force the TV suppliers in Canada to comply. 

Then you would be forced to 'stream' the game illegally over the Internet. 

To be clear, I probably won't watch the game as American football isn't my thing.  My interest in the subject is because I am a shareholder of some Canadian media companies including BCE.
