Thanks to MLS and ESPN for caring..NOT!
By: Kristina | February 13th, 2011So we all have seen the Crew schedule has come out by now. Granted it’s a comfortable and workable schedule minus the extra CCL games they have this year. They still haven’t heard anything about Super Liga but that’s not the case here. The league also posted the TV schedule for the 2011 year. So how many games will the Crew play on ESPN? The answer: ZERO! If you don’t believe me here it is:
Tue, March 15 9:30 pm Seattle Sounders vs. LA Galaxy ESPN/Deportes
Sat, April 9 7:00 pm Philadelphia Union vs. New York Red Bulls ESPN2/Deportes
Thu, April 14 11:00 pm Portland Timbers vs. Chicago Fire ESPN2/Deportes

YES you saw it The Crew was the ONLY TEAM NOT TO BE ON ESPN! Why shut out The Crew? My answer: NO ONE CARES. Everyone knows by now this the only club that Garber and the rest of the shmucks in the MLS really don’t give a crap about the Crew. Yes the Crew did good in the CCL but they are not RBNY, LA Galaxy nor Seattle Sounders. 2008 was the most impressive year for the Crew and they even won the Cup. Did Garber get the captain right?! No. Did he even go to the Nordecke to shake hands with Crew fans and thank them? No. Every time something goes wrong Columbus gets blamed for it. Why punish the team and the fans who don’t live in the Columbus area the opportunity to watch their beloved Black and Gold on national television?! Not everyone could afford the Direct Kick package and not everyone carries ONN. So to the fans who support the Crew in other cites I am sorry. So Mr Garber, MLS Headquarters and ESPN all I gotta say is you sCREWed a lot of fans. Thanks for shutting us out and especially for not caring about us. All I have to say is bring it a-holes but the Nordecke along with others will never stop loving and supporting the team. Fans will still travel and make MASSIVE noise and pride. They will show how it is really done without the hype and Glory you and your national TV load of BS will bring. As always COLUMBUS TIL I DIE!!!!!!

You write like a five year old, some basic fact checking would help you. Dallas and Salt Lake are not on either.
-
Toronto and Vancouver. Salt Lake is. I doubt Columbus fans outside of Columbus anyway. I sure won’t miss them.
-
Toronto and Vancouver don’t count, as ESPN isn’t shown in Canada. We have a separate deal with TSN here.

I like that someone is callin espn out on this. it kinda sucks every week there is an MLS game of the week and its never the Crew. Its always redbulls and galaxy. I understand why though. they have big ticket players that people wanna see. David Beckham, Thierry Henry, Rafa Marquez.
COLUMBUS TILL I DIE

Dallas definitely isn’t on that list. Maybe it’s a Lamar Hunt issue.

Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for rookie blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
