America One Sports
America One holds the U.S. broadcast rights to the Ontario Hockey League, Australian Football League, the USAR Hooters Pro Cup, certain ECHL games, playoffs in the Indoor Football League, and (on tape delay) the American Hockey League's all star game. America One syndicates many of these broadcasts to various regional sports networks in the US (usually, those not part of the Fox Sports Net family). America One also carries tape-delayed broadcasts of the English Premier League, specifically Bolton Wanderers and Everton. America One also now shows Midwest-based Victory Fighting M.M.A. Usually, these events are on tape delay.
America One has broadcast rights to several rugby league organizations. From 2010 Europe's Super League matches will be shown live in addition to Australasia's National Rugby League games. They will also be showing the American National Rugby League Grand final.
Historically, America One had a longstanding partnership with the Canadian Football League that lasted through much of the 2000s; this ended prior to the 2010 season, with NFL Network taking over U.S. broadcast rights, which now belong to the NBC Sports Network.
In 2012, America One became the first American network to broadcast a NPB baseball game (Hiroshima Toyo Carp home game) on tape delay.

Famous quotes containing the words america one, america and/or sports:
“In going to America one learns that poverty is not a necessary accompaniment to civilisation.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
“Guys do not have a genetic blueprint that allows them to understand or love sports.”
—Lesley Visser, U.S. sports reporter and announcer. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 82 (June 17, 1991)
