Comments on: Push ESPN for US U-2o Coverage.

And yes, I will lobby @#$% Comcast to include ESPNU. Although if they ever added it, that would probably be a guarantee that they'd never again show anything I wanted to watch. One thing, though. At least according to my schedule, either ESPN or ESPN2 was showing the AAA All-Star game yesterday. Triple A. Yes, you're absolutely correct that MLB is a cash cow, but I'm not sure that we can say the same about AAA. And I see a fair amount of room for debate as to which is the more important sporting event -- AAA All Stars or U-20 World Cup. I'm hoping that if enough people write, next time deciding on AAA baseball won't be automatic. Doug, good points. And yes, I will lobby @#$% Comcast to include ESPNU.

In my last reply, I said "instead of lobbying ESPN" and what I should have said was "In addition to lobbying ESPN ...". Sorry about that. I realize that getting cable companies to add stations can't be done before the weekend. Correction.

MLB is a cash cow for them. I have no idea what the ratings are for U-20 games or baseball but I'd wager that baseball gets the higher ratings. Instead of lobbying ESPN to change programming, why not ask your cable company to carry ESPNU? Its pretty standard as far as channel line-ups go these days.
