.@JonChampionJC: from ~12/12 - 1/16, ESPN will only have had one (1) soccer match on ESPN 1/2/News. That marginalizes the sport, harming fans, future teams, & the sport itself. Very subtly point out to ESPN suits that they're fulfilling the Ann Coulter Prophecy.

.@JonChampionJC: ESPN suits think they can sell soccer subs w/o first making it popular. NFL first made game popular, *then* they sold home team packages, etc. USMNT, ENG v ESP, etc should be on ESPN. Not taken by Murdoch or hidden on "plus". Harms MNT, soccer in USA, ESPN.

.@JonChampionJC: NFL can only sell out-of-market games, TNF, etc. because they *first* made kneeball popular by getting it on regular TV, making games Big Events. #ESPN suits think they can skip the first, necessary step (Serie A on "plus", etc.) Please work to educate them.

.@CBurleyESPN @JonChampionJC: if #ESPN hides Serie A on some sort of non-basic cable channel, that's no better than what Murdoch does. Making soccer a specialty sport hidden away on special channels marginalizes the sport, harming everyone (except for NFL/NCAA).

.@JonChampionJC: I had to use a VPN & get a German IP to watch it on ZDF. All because #ESPN spends so much on NFL they can't outbid someone who bought his U.S. citizenship and instead shows cornhole, spikeball, and CFL.

.@JonChampionJC: not only is #MLS "Soccer Saturday" now on Univision instead of #ESPN, it's on at 9:30AM Pacific. The smart thing to do would be to take a cut or even subsidize coverage to get it on ABC or at least ESPN. @MLS is marginalizing their own league.

.@JonChampionJC: #MLS #Soccer Saturday has moved to #ESPN, which is currently playing two women's basketball games (earlier tennis, previously Stihl Lumberjack & the Cornhole Championships). Is #AnnCoulter in charge of programming for ESPN now?

.@JonChampionJC: #ESPN used to show lumberjack contests, go-kart racing, etc. etc. Why can't they show real games like foreign, offbrand #soccer (even tape-delayed & local feed), #PuertoRico baseball (a big feel-good story), etc.? Is the Mouse rabid?

.@JonChampionJC: #ESPN is playing: a UGA vs Tenn #kneeball game from a past decade, a Ball in Hoop game, a telethon, & a talk show. The telethon is acceptable but I'm not watching it. The rest aren't & I and millions others won't bother. Why can't the Mouse do better?

.@jonchampionjc: #ESPN shows hoops 24/7, spends more time on soccer hilites than showing soccer games. Did Ann Coulter buy Disney or what?
