What a load of crap!!!! No TV for October 10th match
A note to FIFA, USSF, CONCACAF and all other FA's
PULL YOUR HEAD OUT ON TV RIGHTS!!!
I can not believe that I can not see the US game vs. Honduras Oct 10th because we let the FA's of each country sell the rights as they see fit! We here in the US are working our butt's off to make Soccer more than an afterthought. Now that we have a chance to clinch our ticket to WC 2010 the loyal US Soccer fan is screwed. I am sure the USSF could have done something about this.
To allow Honduras so sell the rights to an outlet that then only allows closed circuit feeds WTF, hell we can't even get it on pay per view, so, how much could Honduras have gotten for this? A dozen balls and some shiny new boots? I am PISSED, I have to suffer through hours and hours of American Football, Basketball, Hockey, Baseball, talk and the one saving grace, to see our boys possible clinch a World Cup Birth, can you hear me a WORLD CUP BIRTH, not freaking Tony Romo didn't know what down it was blah blah, the White Sox are playing blah blah, but a Freaking WORLD CUP BIRTH!
You know the only place in Texas I can see the game? Austin, that is 250 miles south of Dallas!!! NICE!
Here is the stupid outfit that purchased the rights and doesn't have the business sense to exploit the situation! Copa TV Online http://www.copatvonline.com/
I am laying a lot of the blame on the USSF, they should have stepped in and gotten the feed. What about Nike, why didn't they suck it up and purchase a feed then get ESPN or someone to host the stream. I mean really how cool would it be if some company stepped up and streamed the game live on the internet? I work for a company the creates the technology for this, it is easy! But hell no, if this was some spare American Football game say the lame game coming up this weekend between Dallas and KC, and the game was not going to be shown due to the TV transmission truck blew up, there would be a freaking national crisis, to get the thing streamed or have some bozo with a single camera shoot the game, but by God it would be on TV, or PC or something.
Ah I can't continue, this has just gotten me too wound up.
