DC United: Better than the Nationals
By: jon | July 7th, 2008I’m still at work, and still pretty busy (or at least, don’t want to be caught blogging), but an interesting post just came my way, and I figured I’d share it.
Disclaimer: I am a Nationals fan, one that knows we suck. A lot. I used to blog about them, but then the suck was overpowering, and I’d prefer to watch them suck in virtual silence
Dan Steinberg over at DC Sports Bog just posted this nugget.
You read that right. An MLS team get more viewers on TV than does a team in the Nation’s Capital playing the National Pastime. Granted, one team is in ascendance, and the other is in ruin, but it’s a nice accomplishment for MLS however you slice it. I’d even trumpet this if I was DC United.
There are many factors for why this is the way it is, which I don’t have time to fully get into (such as HD vs standard cable, availability of MASN, etc), but I’ve gotta say I haven’t missed a DC game on tv yet, and can’t say I’ve watched more than 10 games this whole season.
Also, in a sad note, Benny O went under the knife today, and will be out at least a month. My guess is he’s done for the year, but we’ll see. I hope I’m wrong.
A movie from Steinberg:
Dan Stratford also had knee surgery today, and will miss 3-4 weeks.
