USWNT-ESPN USMNT TV Dungeon

[Thomas Flannigan]

The USWNT will be on ESPN at 4:00 ET tomorrow, a prime time slot. I am happy we finally have a USWNT game and a new coach, but this shows how women's soccer gets preference over men's soccer when TV goodies are handed out. The Gold Cup games aren't even on ESPN2 and recent World Cup Qualifiers were stuck on ESPN2, which has a much smaller subscriber base than ESPN.
I have been saying this for years. Women's sports, especially soccer, get TV placement far better than the popularity of the sport warrants while the national team gets hidden from view, so to speak The USMNT is much more popular than the USWNT but you would never know it from the TV placements.

It's June. This is the first women's game on TV in the United States this year.

If the powers-that-be wanted the WNT they'd have broadcast the Algarve Cup.

You're in high gear trolling mode.
