Star ignores soccer

Who are the Los Angeles Galaxy? Apparently The Star doesn't care. They are the soccer team that has won two Major League Soccer championships. They have been to the playoffs 10 out of the last 11 years, more than any of the other professional Los Angeles teams. Coming to them this year is one of the best world-renowned soccer players, David Beckham. And yet The Star refuses to give proper respect to this team and the world's biggest sport, soccer.

Soccer is the number one and fastest growing sport — according to The Star — among young kids, but in The Star, only small or sometimes no articles at all are written about the Galaxy or soccer. Did The Star know that the women's World Cup championships are being played this year in China? The Star doesn't seem to know, but that's another opinion article.

Give some time to soccer and The Star may pleasantly find its subscription numbers increasing.
