For what will be the third year running MLS has decided to move New England's away date at New York to a weeknight game (Now June 10th a Friday night instead of June 11th a Saturday). They will tell us that is is because it is what their broadcast partners want, and they have no control over it. Whose league is it? It's not the Fox Soccer Channel League, it's not the ESPN2 We'll-Get-Right-To-The-MLS-Match-Of-The-Week-Right-After-This-College-Volleyball-Game-Ends Soccer League, It's Major League Soccer. MLS has final say on the schedule and when games will be played. I could care less about pissing off the networks, but the league should care about pissing off it's fans.
