Backpass: Why the Colorado Rapids and other MLS teams are so secretive about the preseason

Soccer doesn’t have “exhibition matches.” Not by that lingo. Primarily because the games aren’t on exhibit. Most MLS teams don’t stream or provide a cable broadcast of their games in early February. This decision includes the Colorado Rapids, who have played matches against Ventura County Fusion, Toronto FC, and the Las Vegas Lights, while providing only scant details as to the proceedings: who comes on the field, who goes off, and who scores. Often, teams don’t even provide that much info. Check out this tweet from New York Red Bull this week:

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will not be playing Real Salt Lake on Thursday.
