This suggestion might have been on the table a few times but with Chrome for mobile stating they won't support flash anymore and with new Android versions from 4.x and above not supporting flash as well (I don't know what's going on with IOS but there's no official flash support that I know of as well with IOS) - I think it's time to change game viewer to HTML5.

Smartphones are globally popular and there's no reason BB users won't be able to follow their team games when they are away from home with their smartphones / Tablets.

I know there are some 3rd party plugins and browsers that do the trick of playing flash, but I don't think it's something we should count on...

You are not correct. I for one can't download flash player for my Android device. It's not supported from some versions of Android.

I have the Samsung Galaxy SIII and I was able to download firefox and the flash player and it seems to work.

Could be worse, though. At least it didn't get coded in Silverlight. ;)

I know it can be worse but Google's latest policy and devices just don't support Flash anymore...
