@__LFF__ Number 1 sport in Germany. Number whatever sport here. Behind the big 4 plus major college football and basketball. Impressive that a league here draws attendance like MLS does given its place in the greater American sports scene
@lafcdaniel It’s the same feed on Apple TV. Fox doesn’t do its own game production. They just put their own announcers over the Apple broadcast. Pic quality? Yeah, Fox only does 720p so it’ll never look as good as it does on Apple
@VoxProMLS San Diego, Atlanta, Minnesota, Nashville, St. Louis. All had lightly supported USL teams. Once mls came to those places fan support for them increased 20x minimum. In America you’re in the top league or your minor league.
@inter1097@Braylon_Breeze Not exactly the same. Apple gets you every game. Fox has no games exclusively and their part of the mls tv deal ends after this season.
@mercerboy@awfulannouncing Ya left that part out of your story. ESPN very much didn’t take serious the bidding for the 2015-22 events. If they did they would’ve been in the perfect spot to get the no bid 2026 event for themselves
@mercerboy@awfulannouncing Fox did not win the rights in a dubious manner. They won the 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2022 cup against bids from Disney and Comcast. Both Fox and Telemundo were given the 2023 and 2026 events cause fifa moving the Qatar to the winter so they wouldn’t get sued
@starsnstripesfc Truly amazing to see what the league was at launch to what it was 10yrs later to 10yrs after that to today. Add in appropriate sized stadiums, supporters culture now growing etc
