Chinese stream. No commercials. It is, by far, the greatest thing that has happened to football.

Why do the Chinese streams exist? The Chinese streams exist because Chinese people are interested in watching the games. Why are they interested? Because they are betting money on the games. Why are they doing that? Because their local teams and sport are susceptible to corruption. The obvious result? Chinese organized crime are sending people to influence these teams as well, causing corruption.
So, the Chinese streams may seem like a good thing, but they are a symptom of a bad thing.
