Getting geared up for that all-important World Cup Qualifier of US vs Honduras? Maybe you've followed the news and learned that Honduras is a "little chaotic" or "on the verge of total social collapse." Maybe you are worrying that you, as a member of a stable country whose internal politics have not been dicked with by the CIA for the past 40 years (as far as you know) will not be able to watch the game if the venue is moved at the last moment because of internal Honduran strife, which is in no way some sort of echoing blowback from decades of American interference in Central America, because the United States is a great country and we don't do that sort of shit? Maybe you are thinking, "Hey, however many pounds of burro feed we have to bribe these fuckers with, let's do it. I wanna see that soccer game."
First of all, that's racist. Secondly, Good News! No matter
what the situation in Honduras, you aren't going to see that game, unless you live near the handful of Irish Chain Taverns that have paid the money to air the game. No ESPN, no Fox Soccer, no Telemundo, no nothing. Honduras sold the rights to a 3rd party closed circuit TV company, who could not in turn sell the rights to a network. How they could not, I can't imagine. This game is huge. And as of this afternoon, wasn't being aired anywhere in the State of Minnesota. There are something like four bars in all of New York that are airing it. Four bars in the DC/Balmer area. This game should be on TV. Not even a replay, at this time, will be aired.
This is evil fuckery, purely and simply. Hey, but maybe your local tavern has the game. Sit through the bullshit Flash Website to find out. Fuck you, Honduras.
