    Default Toronto FC try outs - media reaction

    I am extremely delighted to see the media reaction so far. I have not been to the soccer center and I wonder if any of our guys went or even tried out.Just like to get some feedback.I am extremely delighted with the media reaction and I am finally feeling that soccer is here to stay and that we will have an enormous blast at the BMO. Hey our dreams are being dealt with and I feel very very strongly that this is impossible to reverse. We just seem to have gathered enough strength to avoid any further media bias.I feel that the media have a huge problem to deal with and I wonder which media guru will be the first one to jump ship,I wonder who will be the first one to show up at the next media conference other than some rookies. We are here to stay and flourish and the media barons will have to come up with some ingenious way to again put the fear into Canadian parents.Who will jump ship first, any predictions?

    We will see. Sofar none of the biggies have been at any of the TFC media conferences. Heck even the rookies are just that.I wonder what talk show will incorporate a soccer guy and I wonder how much it will hurt these guys to have to talk soccer.We will see. I suppose some crash courses would be advisable as well.

    John you do have a valid point about a media bias in this country against soccer, especially Canadian soccer. Hopefully our national team, as well as TFC, can have some succsess and help to change some peoples minds. That way we might be able to see some positive reaction and not just the usual negetivity.

    Wow finally some support from one of our guys. Feels good and very timely. Yes indeed it has been a disaster sofar and as it stands right now things are about to change and we can join the rest of the world as having soccer accepted as a major if not the major sport in Canada.I still wonder why it never was the case,since the rest of the world act,enjoys and feel that way.It is about time that we can appreciate the little guys shining instead of all that height or bulk.Anyway i am so delighted to see this obvious breakthrough developing and as i said before who will be first of the big boys to break away from that nasty habit of ignoring or belittling Canadian soccer.I do feel a little sorry for these guys they tried so hard and than this change,some bullit!

    There is no media bias.

    There also is no such thing as news.

    They run a business and say what they are paid to say. Directly or indirectly.

    They are paid what to say? Wow you got that right! Yes there is a tremendous media bias. It is sickening how bad it is.But it will change and in fact the writing is on the wall already.We are on our way as speedy as possible and no monk can stop us.They can pray allright, i wonder how that would work anyway.

    I am just so happy after all these years(31) at least to realize that this is the real thing.This real thing is the awareness among the media that soccer is part of our Canadian fibric,that we are part of the big world picture and that the guys behind it are no push over, this is for real and this is a money thing,big time. The media ,the guys that have been fighting this development for years and i can assure you that this resentment against our sport was not only on the reporters desk ,but more importantly also the composing room. The room were decisions are made,in or out. The inns sometimes had the palms of their hands greased and our poor soccer reporter was left wondering what happened.
    This dangerous play will have to be stopped,it is to big to screw around with.
    So any kind of mouth,loud small or big no longer will be able to muzzle what we want,need,deserve and have the full rights to.The media will be torn apart and they will be rightfully demand what happened in the composing room,hey this is big time,MLSE and these guys have huge clouds.To big to f.... with.
    So the chips are forming their frontal attack and it seems that this is an unstoppable and very exciting development.Yes I am having fun and yes I wonder if LM will come to grips with the potential collapse of the anti soccer media. I believe they will and my question will be who will fall first.

    I'm not sure what most of you are mumbling about, but I've been impressed by the amount of coverage TFC has received the last few days. There's been stories in the Hamilton daily, the Kitchener daily, plus obviously the Toronto media. I've heard the TFC tryouts mentioned on a few radio stations, and I'm sure there's been more.

    There's stories about Canadian soccer in December, in the mainstream press... when has that ever happened before? TFC tryouts are getting more press than what fourth-liner the Leafs should trade.

    It's ironic *cough* that a completely meaningless tryout that they won't find one half-decent player, is getting more press then 10 years of Toronto Lynx soccer. Maybe it's not ironic, maybe just people who know what they're doing.

    I have read and heard stories about kids coming from all over the world. Hey if nothing less they will be impressed with the facilities and full seize indoor soccer field and complex.It would be nice if a great story will develop. As I said I am delighted so far with the TFC media and hope this will continue.At the same time I am reading stories about the state of our hockey and primarily the state of hockey in the US. They are talking about rule and other changes.We live in a very volatile world and I hope this gets straighten out as well.
