Why is the US yahoo soccer sports page so terrible?
-
I'll preface this with writing that this may be more of a rhetorical statement/rant but I'd love to get the perspective of others out there. I've been getting into soccer/football in the last year or so. What I really would like to know is why (US)Yahoo has such a lame set up for their soccer page. For instance you click any of the countries and you just get the current table/standings, THAT'S IT! At least the MLS section is a little more detailed but not that much more. They don't even have a playoff link to show the teams, brackets, etc. like they do for the other sports. How is soccer to supposed to catch on and grow in popularity here in the states if it gets treatment like this? Does Yahoo expect that people will just go to the UK Yahoo site for all things soccer/football? Also when you do go to UK Yahoo football section under other leagues the MLS is not even listed! Is the MLS regarding as such a joke that it doesn't even warrant attention abroad? I could go on and on but I guess that's what blogs are for.

Answer:
Because soccer is and may always be a "second class" sport here in the USA. Why people can't see that soccer players are THE most fit and best conditioned athletes of them all, is beyond me. Running the pitch (field), often at full speed for the length of time these people do is extraordinary in itself, but when you add striking the ball, playing defense while being beat upon by the opposing team is brutal, yet these players keep their balance, control the ball and are still able to not look at their feet all at the same time. I'm a recent convert, I'll admit, but soccer will hopefully get its due in the States and until then Yahoo and other sports pages will continue spending as little money as they have to, I suppose. There's simply not enough interest, yet. ~m~
