I have never been a fan of the LA Times coverage. Time to right a letter. And maybe they should get a new writer.

Well at least this ESPN AM station is moving in the right direction, so give this guy hits and email him with comments. http://www.710espn.com/article.asp?id=380876

The main thing is to ignore the soccer bashers who only want you to write in with angry rants and to respectfully contact the decision makers at the various media outlets. Some are actually open to ideas and appreciate the contact. Others, not so much, but they still need to hear our voices.

This is something all MLS bloggers should think about, depending on the local coverage. The Chicago Tribune actually does a good job (incidentally they also own the LA Times) as their soccer reporter has his own Fire blog. The Chicago Sun-Times is less good – their Fire blog was embarassingly empty for weeks recently.

You beat me to it Laurie(I am still planning on a scathing article directed at the media and its pathetic representation of teams other than “Super Teams”)…this is something that I think we really need to address. The two of us should unite in our efforts to combat this….actually if we can get the blogosphere to work together we have a large enough voice to make a change.
