Think I'm going to have to try to make it to that Hibee's Bounce dance. Sounds like a kick in the ass.

With regards to the press coverage and football in the U.S. I'm no expert on the subject but I think it has to do with the overall lack of support from the country as a whole. Football is not a part of our past time and therefore it's going to take awhile for people to accept it. Within recent years it has grown in popularity mostly due to growing media coverage, better World Cup coverage, and the growing Mexican population.

The MLS signed a new deal this year with some television company to give the sport national coverage. But have you ever listened to the American announcers who cover the games? The are phish. It will take time, but one day football will be as big as all of the other U.S. sports.

Anyone with any other incites, please chime in.
