“Is it really the problem with the Mexican teams? No, the fans are wrong!” One league official thought.
Diamante Futbolero – Liga MX officials are baffled that fans are watching the Major League Baseball World Series instead of attending attractive matches like the one between Mazatlán FC and Puebla.
After months of declining stadium attendance and lower television ratings for the games, officials expressed disappointment at the observation that fans were closely following the series between the Yankees and Dodgers.
“Didn’t they say they didn’t care about the games anymore?” asked the frustrated owner of Atlético San Luis after seeing the ratings for Game 1 of the MLB final.
This situation leads them to think that maybe people really want to watch the matches, and this has something to do with the quality of domestic football.
“What do they expect us to do? We offer them playoffs every four months, high-level tournaments with the US league, cheerleading during halftime; this seems like a sad case to me,” suggested the president of Pachuca, initiated by a refusal .
If this trend continues, teams may have no choice but to bring a Japanese player to Necaxa to spark fans’ interest in exciting games.
