Gold Cup Venues Announced For 2011 Tournament, Just Two West Of Dallas

Those of us on the West Coast have a bit of a chip on our shoulders, this can not be denied. We feel as though we are ignored by big media based on the East Coast. Our teams’ highlights make the national broadcasts less than we’d like. We feel as though our players get overlooked for postseason awards. Maybe we’re over-sensitive, I’ll admit that.

But it’s stuff like Thursday’s announcement of the 2011 Gold Cup venues that perpetuates this victimhood. Just two of the 13 sites are located West of Dallas, and both of those are in the Los Angeles area.
