The tradition that is American soccer fans complaining about not being able to see the United States Men's National Team play a 2014 World Cup qualifier continued this past Wednesday when the US were away to Honduras. It's a problem that began back in August 2012 when then baby soccer station beIN Sport picked up the TV rights for all USMNT World Cup qualifiers played outside of this country. Roughly five months after the announcement of that deal, beIN Sport is still not available to a plethora of customers. This, as you might imagine, has fans who live in those areas less than pleased whenever the US play a World Cup qualifier off of American soil.
I am but one of many soccer fans who have no access at home to beIN Sport. The only way I could subscribe to the channel would be to first switch television providers, something I'm not willing to do for any one station. With all of that said, the incessant whining I hear and read about this situation month in and month out has gotten out of hand.
