Comments for MLS becomes sensitive to criticism at http://www.wsc.co.uk , comment 0 to 6 out of 6 comments http://www.wsc.co.uk Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:38:12 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3975/38/#pc_1163 I have to say, this is a bit rich from the Freedom given the background of their club president, who was famous with the Fire as a VP for his sensitivity to criticism and insular, arrogant attitude. I guess a leopard can change his spots, but this would be quite the transformation if this is anything but some PR bullshit that I would think is aimed more at the Redskins than MLS. - goldstone97 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:22:39 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3975/38/#pc_1146 Whoa, that's a mighty big jump to make NOC, and obviously has nothing to do with what Mr. Plenderleith was talking about. Especially considering how NFL broadcasters are often judged at how critical they are. John Gruden, former SuperBowl winner with Malcolm Glazer's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was expected to deliver the boom on poor tactics, bad decisions, and dodgy plays this year on Monday Night Football. However, he's turned out to be as milquetoast as his co-announcers, and is largely judged a failure. Meanwhile, John Madden built a career out of talking about failure, and Chris Collinsworth is considered the best announcer because of how critical he is. No, the MLS does not need a bobblehead press corps telling the world that chickenshit is chickensoup. - jason voorhees Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:05:14 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3975/38/#pc_1143 Why should clubs be obliged to provide facilities and access to journalists who just write "This is shit, don't bother coming."? - NiceOneCenturian Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:19:58 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3975/38/#pc_1142 This is my first season following MLS - Toronto FC - and I haven't found it boring at all. Granted the overall stats don't lie, but the atmosphere, banter and level of play is still very enjoyable and not as bad as many people are lead to believe. - PRB Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:20:34 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3975/38/#pc_1141 I wouldn't disagree with that, but would add that it can be interpreted as being aimed at both. I did think of mentioning the Redskins' paranoia about local media coverage, but decided it would be a diversion of little interest to UK readers. - imp Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:47:18 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3975/38/#pc_1139 While you're spot on with the increased sensitivity of MLS over the years, your opening reference to the Washington Freedom women's team is inaccurate. That ad is target as fans of the Washington Redskins American football team. - hummersport Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:26:53 +0100
