“Dynamo on Comcast and what it means to you.”
It means I won’t be watching many locally-broadcast Dynamo matches with my U-verse service. I would have fared better if the Dynamo partnered with the Longhorn Network for local broadcasts…at least I get that channel.
Thanks Dynamo for turning into a greedy club who doesn’t care about your fans!!!
G. Cameron with Stoke City, M. Edu with Stoke [although technically loaned out], and now Brek Shea ? Does FC Dallas have a Charity Cup, and what are the chances we’ll see Stoke at BBVA this coming season ?
Talk about that tonight….
Well if Stoke comes to Houston it will be that much more appealing with Shea now in the mix with Geoff Cameron.
Personally I truly enjoyed that Houston got Spanish football last year in the exhibition game against Valencia.
Great to be connected to La Liga and that club for a night.
Greedy?! Think about it a little deeper. First, the Dynamo is not a charity, they are in business to make money. Second, getting on the same network as two of the three traditional big sports is huge. This brings attention to not only the Dynamo but to soccer in general. Finally, I currently can’t watch CSN either because I have U-verse. However, I followed the link in the press release that let’s you contact your service provider to request that they add CSN to their lineup. Simple supply and demand. Give it a try.
It is true that Dynamos is not a charity.
The problem is that almost all sport teams, including the Dynamo, indulge in hypocrisy.
Sport teams and their PR departments will remind you that this is a business when it is convenient for them, that many decisions need to be made only if it is makes money sense.
Then they will try to convince their fans that this is not a business, that it is a feeling, a family, that real fans are loyal no matter what, when it is also convenient for the team.
If you have 2 different standards, one for you and ne for the fans, can you blame fans if they call them greedy?
If this is indeed only a business, MLS teams should not get angry if many loyal fans stop going to games because the business MLS offers is not even close to the qualitu of EPL, La Liga, Ligue 1 or Calcio, heck, not even close to the Mexican League.
This is only a business after all, tickets cost money, quality not the best (great athletes for sure, not a lot of tactic, not a lot of beauty), it makes more business sense to get a cable system that has the EPL, La Liga, and Calcio, instead of paying for my mini package of season tickets, instead of buying those tickets against Santos Laguna, maybe I should just watch Santos play Tigres or America.
To me, this is not only a businees, if it were, I would not spend a single dime on the Dynamo, it is not just a business, but if the Dynamo keeps thinking it is, I will have to agree with them and stop supporting them.
Horrible typo from my part, I wrote Dynamos instead of Dynamo, I was trying to writo Dynamo is and ended up as Dynamos, huge apology, specially because I find Dynamos disrespectful, just like I dislike people calling my team Atletico de Bilbao instead of Athletic Bilbao.
