How the U.S. soccer media failed U.S. soccer

Let me be clear: The person responsible for Bob Bradley getting a four-year contract extension is the president of the United States Soccer Federation, Sunil Gulati. In the end, it was his decision and he deserves the majority of praise or scorn depending on the results.

That being said, the small, yet influential United States soccer press corp are, at least, somewhat responsible for Bradley getting a second chance.
