In a column written by ESPN's ombudsman, George Solomon (whom I believe is the first person to have ever held this position at the network), takes ESPN to task, albeit briefly, about the lack of soccer coverage. Here is the link and the relevant section: "Viewers have been pleased with Mike Massaro's NASCAR coverage; are confused over why some college football games get placed on ESPNU (to get viewers and cable providers interested in ESPNU); want more boxing and soccer coverage (which they deserve); and don't like it when ESPN commentators bash Notre Dame." http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=solomon_george&id=2189031 The rest of his article is much more coherent than this, but this was from the wrap-up section at the end. Still, it is good to see.
By the way, this article isn't buried in the ESPN.com backwaters. It is located on the front page by the picture slide show-thing.
