I'm sorry to come up with this but since we are reviving old topics, we might as well throw this one in the package. If I remember correctly Univision was the MLS official spanish network the very first years of MLS. I remember watching my first Metro game there. Then Telemundo took over for a year or two? It wasn't that much, it was one game on saturday or sunday but we had something; when I say "we", I mean the ones who want to see more coverage in national tv because honestly no matter what language it is, if they do a good job, we'll watch it! and this is national non-cable coverage, do you know how important that is for the league growth? Why hasn't MLS done something to bring these games back to any of these venues. It's not the lack of space, we all know Univision Networks owns Telefutura and Galavision and the three are plagued with games from the Mexican league. (Telemundo might be a problem since they're owned by NBC and MLS and ABC are partners). But this is where the problem is: Ignoring MLS is not enough but they take every chance to discredit this league as well and we see it every sunday or soccer event they come out with. This would not happen if a contract existed such as the one they have(Uni Networks and Telemundo) with the Mexican league. It's true they interviewed Donovan and Mastro three weeks ago but how long could they ignore the 2-0? Garber, do something!!!
Garber has stated that the league will improve its marketing efforts to the growing Latino pop. but did not give any concrete details on how they will do it. Super Metro, it's possible that Univision & Telemundo don't want MLS. It's possible that Mexican league games get better ratings than MLS. MLS has made a big show of promoting the league as being for "Americans" (read: White, english-speaking). Let's hope they start doing a better job of reaching out to Latinos. Some clubs do this better than others, I would like to see a concerted plan at the league level. Another good year from Pescadito would be nice. It would also be nice to see the blossoming of Memo Gonzales and Arturo Alvarez as selling points to the Spanish Networks.
