The L.A. Galaxy are Champions of MLS. I have no qualms or hesitation in saying that; they won
the trophy I most coveted this season, and regardless of what happens in this poorly-constructed
post-season cup tournament currently under way I find it self-apparent as to why the "true
champion" is the Supporters Shield winner in this short-lived balanced-schedule era.
Study after study indicates that time spent using the internet is making humans less patient and
more neurotic.
From the moment people are waking up till the moment they go to sleep, time spent with the internet
changes how people react and behave. Its effects are impossible to ignore.
The speed of the information from the internet is making it harder for people to concentrate on
other things in life that are slower to develop and take more personal time, like reading a book or
watching a baseball game.
If you have basic Time Warner Cable, last night you got a chance to see 3 Mexican First Division
games, 1 Friendly from the Herbalife Ultra Challenge between Chivas of Mexico and Barcelona of
Spain, and 1 CONCACAF Champions League match between a Mexican club and Honduras club. And, this
was all from 8p.
How hard it must be for baseball in America right now. Ongoing sagas with the Dodgers and the
Clemens trial and then a most unspeakable tragedy of the fan falling headfirst for a foul ball, it
really can't get much worse for baseball. There's sadness at every turn, including an all-star game
that is not relevant at all.
Soccer America reports on the continuing rise of TV ratings for soccer here in the United States.
The amazing thing to consider is that the UEFA Champions League games are shown here in the United
States in the middle of the day, opposed to the prime time slots that traditional spectator sports
are viewed (professional and college football).

Since the beginning of the World Cup, there have been many conversations about the place of Soccer
in the American sports landscape. The conversations have taken on all kinds of deliberations.
On sports talk radio, the banter is loudest.

It is probably no coincidence that so many of the games we play today, particularly the team
spectator sports that are now big business and cultural institutions, were codified within the span
of a few decades during the second half of the 19th Century. An increase in the amount of leisure
time for the people of Great Britain and the United States, one result of the Industrial Revolution
taking place at the time, might have something to do with it.
