Enable broadcasting of all live football games on cable/satellite/internet.
The present system has a blackout from 2:45pm – 5:25pm. It isn't permitted to televise any games & was introduced in 1960. This law needs updating to bring it into the 21st century & to counter the growing illegal market.

Background
The illegal streaming business is growing & we recently witnessed the Europol service action on illegal streaming which is earning criminals €250m per month on subscriptions. This can’t be a good business model for the governments around the globe.
Surely the money made for legal forms can be used to help the whole of the sports industry.
