Yahoo just removed their MLS link from the main sports page. You now need to click on other sports to access MLS.
I already sent them feedback with my disappointment and I thought if there was anywhere to get others to do the same it was bigsoccer.
Here is the link...

The guy was making a call to action, and his post didn't seem all that whiny to me. I think it is justifiable to ask yahoo to put the link back the way it was (which is different than going out of their way to add something that was never there).
Even though in the big scheme of things having a direct link to their MLS pages isn't a big deal, this is one of many many small things that can add up if people are active about it.
You might not want to be active about it, but I don't see a need to kibitz and discourage others.

This moderator is going to agree. There are times when I roll my eyes, but people sometimes just want to vent, and message boards are good for this. I'm just going to suggest that if people do contact Yahoo!, they be polite about it. Don't tee off on them; just say "Could you please put this back on the front page at least until the season is done?"
FWIW, the link to WUSA hasn't been on Yahoo!'s front page very much this season.
Ultimately, though, Yahoo! will love us if we, as soccer fans, get more people to be soccer fans, thus clicking on Yahoo! and thus resolving this question as Yahoo! won't even think about wanting to pull MLS off the front page because the sport is so popular.
Moderators are a yawn.

Complaints don't matter. Clicks do. At this point, Yahoo's dollars in MLS coffers means a lot more than the placement of the link for MLS news.
If more soccer fans had used Yahoo for their MLS news, then I suspect the link would have remain. Why waste prime real estate on an audience that uses other means to get their news?
Links for portals are determined by metrics. They respond to the audience and users. Nothing more, nothing less. Write-in campains, etc... really don't mean anything.
You mean the market makes a lot of these decisions?
Heresy, I tell you, heresy.

As you've found out, there is a cult of BigSoccer posters who consider themselves intellectually superior to others, and whose seeming sole postings consist of putting down others. (These posters are also known as 'moderators'.) Ignore them. Or, alternately, go away, with everyone else, until they are left here alone, attempting to one-up each other.
Seeing as how they didn't have Fantasy MLS this year on Yahoo...I was never in the area to get my sports info from them.
It's a vicious circle.
Considering that they sponsor the friggin' league (don't they still sponsor the league) - this strikes me as a ridiculous move.
Look. Just click here:
http://sports.yahoo.com/mls
bookmark it and enjoy it daily. There's no need to cry over spill milk.

I'm just glad I don't have to click on other sports to get college football news. Does anybody go to Yahoo for MLS news? I don't, maybe for scores but that's it.

This works for me too. I've made fun of threads that complain about soccer's coverage in the media before, but I think that this post is just fine, not whiny at all. Its just the sort of thing that should be on the B & M board.
MLS's profile in the mass media just slipped a bit. That is news, and its bad news.

Exactly...I guess Segroves cares more about what's going on at the races than he does about the attention given to the MLS playoff race.
I don't see a single moderator in this thread.
I just send them a message. I dont understand their decission. Yahoo is a sponsor of MLS. Lets keep sending messages!
I don't go to Yahoo for MLS news either, but it does help put MLS in front of the casual or nonsoccer fan. If MLS doesn't have a presence in various media, it is going to be a lot harder to convince people to check it out.
I do go to the MLS section on Yahoo daily, just to add another "click" to the log. I do the same with my local newspaper to let them know people are reading their MLS articles. The clicks add up.
If you don't care, that is fine, but I will do everything I can to support the MLS and keep it in the view of the mainstream.

Huh?
1.) Why is it "obvious" that more people are using Yahoo to check horse racing than MLS?
2.) We love a relatively unpopular sport. The implication of you post is that the way to make it more popular is to just sit on our hands until it's more popular.

Few people use yahoo for any sports news. there are plenty more in-depth websites that provide comprehensive information. I wouldn't be surprised if horse racing got more clicks than nba, nfl, mlb, etc. yet, you'll never see it before those sports. it's a combination of clicks and general interest for a particular sport.
