Media Blackout Comes to Naught

Written By Tao on lundi 9 décembre 2013 | 18:54

Since we were out of town Saturday, I set my parents' DVR to record the MLS Cup. And like all it does for all truly-important recordings, the DVR failed. It recorded everything else this weekend, just not this.


I figured I had to avoid Twitter and Feedly and sports websites for the weekend, and Monday I'd watch the recording. But then I found out there was no recording.


No big deal, we have MLS MatchDay Live on the Roku. So I sat down today to watch the MLS Cup. But since the game was nationally televised, it has a 48-hour-delay for Roku. (If you watch it free on TV you get it instantly, but if you pay to watch it, you have to wait two days. Seems legit.) I tried to watch it at 2:30 on Monday and kickoff had been at 4:00 on Saturday, so my 46.5-hour wait was obviously so short it threatened to knock the asterisk right off MLS's 0.0* rating.


No problem; I'd waited this long, I could wait a little longer, right?


Just before dinner, I was looking through the cable guide and saw FA Cup soccer was on. I turned to the channel and saw not, in fact, FA Cup soccer, but a giant graphic which read: "Do you think Sporting Kansas City will repeat as MLS champions next year?"


Son. Of. Perdition.


So, I guess I know who won the MLS Cup now. And maybe tomorrow I'll get to watch it.
