Don't even give them the attention. Carton is exactly the type of fan I am hoping to get away from in following soccer.They are the morning show for NYC's broadcast station. No excuse why they can't have one guest a week. Especially right before the season. Let's show them we care!

Why would we want them to cover it, anyway? It'd just be another "SOKKER ISN'T A REAL SPORT I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE OFFSIDE RULE AND STOPPAGE TIME THE CLOCK COUNTS UP, DOESN'T IT?"They are the morning show for NYC's broadcast station.

Ryan Ruocco likes the sport a bit. Don La Greca doesn't but Michael Kay has a strange fascination with it.Forgive me for going in a somewhat different direction, but if we are going to do any sort of twitter blitz
then it should be to Kay & La Greca.
They talked soccer during the World Cup and interviewed Reyna and Pernetti a few times during the summer. At least these guys are willing to give the sport some air time, so we at least have a foot in the door. If I'm correct their update guy Ryan Ruocco is a big fan of the sport.

Traditional media struggles to cover soccer because they didn't grow up with it. Forcing these guys to talk about it doesn't really help us, unless they're compelled to discuss. Grow the game enough and draw 20K a game - then they'll talk.
Lol. I remember his head blowing off his shoulders, because the concept of extra time is a total mind f*** to him.......Michael Kay has a strange fascination with it.

I am surprised Esiaon is not on board. hes a big hockey guy (they get it) and a long island guy. they were a big soccer area since back in the day
there's so many other ways to advertise in soccer than just during half-time - the side boards, jerseys, segments, etc.Soccer is not covered here because it only has 1 opportunity to sell ads. same reason hockey is the #4 sport in the US
I disagree. There is other more real reasons soccer isn't covered here Yet by soccer I mean MLS. It's not about the lack of advertising opportunities because like anything in marketing there is always a way to insert good ads into a soccer match as has been proven with the current t broadcasts. In fact mls and soccer is a dream sport for potential advertising clients because of the demographics that ha e young professionals viewing and that consider themselves fans. For advertisers the ideal demo is young professionals that make a Consistent salary and have discretionary income.Soccer is not covered here because it only has 1 opportunity to sell ads. same reason hockey is the #4 sport in the US

The aim reason soccer isn't covered as much as it should be is because of the good ol' boy network that these tv giants stem from and operate from. However that will change slightly with the new tv deal that make it a priority for espn and fox to show mls highlights during their nightly sportscenters and such and have more programming during the week which will promote the games. I believe this was a big reason mls decided to go with espn and fox offer. We will get there it will just take more time.
I don't think they need to reinvent the wheel - some of the other leagues (including MLS) use segments like "Instant Replay provided by Lexus" or have mini ads pop-out of the digital score HUDI totally agree that it is a great audience for advertising. Your probably right about finding ways to insert good ads.
I was looking at it from the point that of how many ads they can have in a game. Football has a minimum 10 commercial breaks in each half plus halftime. Baseball has 1 every 1/2 inning plus pitcher changes.
I wonder if they will change any of the advertising inside the stadium depending on whose playing NYCFC or Yankees.
