Default ESPN Sportscenter Highlights of Champions League

Does anyone find it odd that Sportscenter only shows Champions League highlights under "ESPN Deportes" and only has a Mexican guy doing it. It's almost like they're labeling it a "hispanic thing". Now this is just my speculation, but I would imagine more non-hispanics watch Champ. League than hispanics in the US.

It may sound completely trivial but there is a reason I bring it up. If soccer is to ever become popular in this country, it needs to grow organically and catch on to the mainstream population - not just to hispanic immigrants. ESPN doesn't help when they throw UEFA Champions League under "this is only for our hispanic audience" category.
