Insane. I just needed to share this with someone who might give a shit. And this community might not be the place, but still. Needed to call them out somewhere. Gross.
This has been going on for decades with ESPN.
Honestly, you are lucky they showed any highlights at all.
This is why the internet was so key to soccer development in the United States and comes inspite of the TV networks, not because of it
I’m excited for the future of the USNMT (and the USNWT of course, but they’re already the best in the world), they’re on a very good track
Similar thing happened here in New Zealand where we are one of the co-hosts for the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The sports segment started with a story about the night’s rugby match between New Zealand and Australia.
They ended the sports segment talking about the Women’s Football (soccer).
Now that the rugby game has completed, and tonight the New Zealand women’s Football team are playing a must-win match Vs Switzerland, I’m very interested to see what the news segment starts off with tonight. Will it be tonight’s women’s football game, or highlights talking about last night’s rugby?
If anything, it’s a bigger surprise ESPN’s showing actual sports instead of just former players arguing about the sports
Sports!
Sorry that American football practice is still more interesting than soccer
