I tweeted the Doom Post yesterday asking why there was no preview of the upcoming Phoenix home game. They replied that their sports editor says they will do it later in the week closer to the game.
I replied and said with it being a long weekend, if I had kids I'd be planning what to do now, and that later might be too late.
I also linked them to the RMHouse family ticket appeal and said "How cool is it that Yellow Fever fans have raised this money to send a family from Ronald McDonald House to the Phoenix game? Great community interest story"... nothing.
Today I tweeted again saying why is there STILL no coverage of the upcoming Phoenix game. I asked if it was because they have already written their poor crowds continue story for Tuesday and don't want to risk stuffing it up.
I find their lack of coverage offensive and obscene.
Especially when they have NFL and Baseball on the FRONT page of their sports section - not that I have anything against either of those, but where is the coverage of the local team contributing to their community with school and sports club initiatives?
And their football coverage today is just a small sidebar about Ricki applying for the Indian National team role, and two regurgitated copy stories about European football. Nothing at all about the A League. NOTHING about the David Villa scandal/story. Nothing about the weekend's games.
