Maybe not the thread, but do you find Yanks offensive? I mean to me a Yank is simply somebody from Murica, it has no ill feeling from my POV, but ive read its offensive to some Muricans?
There's absolutely nothing offensive about it. If I did find it offensive, it would be pretty hypocritical considering how direct I can be on this board and in real life honestly. It's just a bit strange, the only time we'd ever say Yankee was in reference to someone from North of the Mason Dixon Line, which is indeed a North South refernce. But yeah, nothing offensive, that would be silly.
Back to the TV packages, it's just crazy how much access we have here. Keep in mind, growing up, we literally could not watch soccer. It was not on. Simply not. About the only bit we could watch was indoor soccer, which is just hysterical on so many levels. Preki, though.
Now, it's just ridiculous. Now I pay for NBC Gold, which allows for me to watch every EPL game. It is like $50, which isn't nothing. But I also pay $4 a month for ESPN+, where I get every MLS match, tons of FA Cup matches, virtually every Serie A match, friggin A-League, Liga MX, etc.
BeIN Sports is even more ridiculous, and it comes with our regular TV package along with the APP, where I can watch every La Liga match, every Ligue 1 match, tons of Turkish League matches, and quite a few others. Like do I seriously need to watch every African Champions League match? Welp, they are on the app if I want to.
Fox Sports Channel comes with typical TV package along with the app, so I can watch every Bundesliga match and much of Liga MX (which is hard to watch I must say), as well as the Dutch league if you can believe it.
Beyond that, all the Mexican channels carry the rest of the Liga MX matches and GOL TV has a bunch of other stuff.
Seriously, how absurd is that?
