ESPN Classic to show History of the MLS Cup Sat. Night

This is the first time I've seen any programming of historical context shown prior to the MLS Cup. Maybe someday they will show re-airs of entire games in the week preceeding the game.

Well, Classic is the closest thing ESPN has to "the Ocho" right now...

ESPN doesn't hate soccer, they hate MLS.

I emailed them suggesting this months ago. Who knows, maybe I played some small part in them at least airing 'The History Of MLS Cup.' Next year we should try to get some sort of organized campaign going.
