Newspapers Ignore Fútbol and Its Fans!


For a fútbol fan, it is tough to live in the United States. The mainstream media barely pay attention to what’s going on in the fútbol world. American football, baseball, and basketball polarized “the beautiful game.”

I must say that it is even tougher for people who live in Florida. It is frustrating to open up The Palm Beach Post, The Sun Sentinel, and The Miami Herald and not find any fútbol coverage.

But newspapers ignore fútbol because it does not represent any source of income. We tend to forget that the newspaper industry is business oriented. And the reality is that there is a group of people starving for “soccer news.”
