We’re two days out from the Chicago Fire’s first game of the 2018 MLS season. At press time, there has been no announcement on a local TV deal.
There are only two real options here. Either:
- The Fire have a deal in place but because of [insert inexplicable bullshit reason here] they haven’t been able to announce it. Or,
- There is no deal in place and Fire games will not be shown on local TV this season, a la the Blackhawks in the 1990s.
This obviously leaves people who can’t attend games in a potentially awkward position.
