Someone record Rome is Burning

It's why we're getting hit so hard. Wynalda may be on there explaining

 

I will try to if I can get a hold of my brother-in-law.

 

It sounds like the rant must have come off the radio program. I can't find it here, but his site has the broadcast from the previous day on it. So if you can't get the ESPN program recorded, I suggest checking out the radio program tomorrow. Does anyone know which hour of the broadcast it came from?

 

This is what I found on TFI. I'm out of the loop--what's up? I know what they're talking about is PCB's interview with Wynalda, but other than that, what's the controversy (other than the fact that Rome is a dope, which is not controversial at all)?

FulhamUSA on the Radio -- PBD, Wednesday, April 04, 08:08:11pm (86.130.255.149)
I just received an email from my uncle who is currently in the states on business. He said was just in the car with his american co-worker and FulhamUSA was being talked about by some US team player and some analyst. My Uncle couldn't believe they were talking about Fulham let alone FulhamUSA.

Seems an interview with the player/ex-player has sparked a nationwide controversy? Anyone shed some light on this? Mike maybe? The american in the car confirmed it was a nationwide radio station as well.

 

Same here, what is up with Rome an FUSA?

 

In short:

Wynalda doesn't like Rome
Rome doesn't like Wynalda
Wynalda tells Rome to suck something via his interview with FUSA
Rome finds out and comes to FUSA to read said interview
Rome talks about FUSA and Wynalda on his show
Wynalda calls up Rome's show and a small soccer controversy is born

The result for FulhamUSA is lots of people visit us:


My question is does anyone like Rome?

 

Never been. I hear it is pricey and overcrowded.

 

JIM ROME is a bitch!!! His TV show on ESPN sucks ass too!!!

 

He has become very rich by being very obnoxious. I'd rather be poor.

It may not be a surprise given who he is, but Jim Rome pronounced this web site Ful-Ham USA.

 

This isnt the right way to promote soccer in the U.S. having a big name person getting upset and giving people the wrong picture

thak goodness there is not any U.S.A. games soon other wise he'd have to explain himself

World Soccer Daily made a quick blurb about the Rome/Wynalda tiff and mentioned FUSA! Ya! Free publicity.

 

I agree with you there GH but none of us thought it would get this big but it must be said that Wyanalda speaks his mind and unfortunately the person he attacked took advantage of that.

The point of our interview wasn't to promote US soccer...

 

I'm sure Rome's people do a Google search for him everyday... see what's out there that has his name attached to it...

I caught wind of the article from ESPN Page 2's A.M. Jump today... glad to see the Fulham faithful causing a stir!

 

i don't think Rome's ripping of soccer does anything to detract people from soccer. If people hate soccer, they hate it and most likely always will. Just because he pokes fun at orange slices, mom's in station wagons and Capree Sun's (which is kind of funny) isn't going to make someone neutral hate soccer. i actually think the fact that he brings it up so much means it is making headway, else why would he care about it? Rome has to criticize certain aspects in the sporting world (like soccer) because that's how he gains his following. I don't hate Rome...I think he's kind of funny sometimes, but he'll never influence my views on any sport. I choose what i like and what I don't like...and then any time I listen to the radio, i decide if i agree or disagree with what the person on air is saying.
