I recently began my venture into football blogging with rants about deficiencies in Soccer United Marketing's efforts to advance the sport (within their perceptions of what advances their profits).
While MLS/SUM needs to be watched and criticized, not least because they have gobbled up promotional rights to just about everything soccer-related in North America, and they cannot, therefore, be permitted to become presumptious and complacent (which, I think, they have), petulance against current structures only gets one so far. I can help best by contributing a Northwest perspective and, occasionally (gasp!), contributing ORIGINAL INFORMARTION to the national conversation, based on my Northwest perch.
Henceforth, look for views, links, and reports about The Beautiful Game from a Northwestern US vantage, and, if you have information and thoughts of your own to contribute, please do so.
