The 2013 season is upon us. As we do every year, CSN is rolling out a season preview starting today.
However, it’s a little different this year. We are asking readers to help support the site by making a donation to receive the exhaustive, league-wide preview we are offering. In it, all 19 teams are previewed as well as the 2013 Voyageurs Cup competition.
The money raised will not make anyone rich. The reality is it’s a lot of work putting together a preview like this. This is just an opportunity for those who wish to say thnk you to do so.
We are recommending a donation of $5.95 (the average cost of a magazine), but will accept any amount. There will be a PDF download with a link available to PayPal later. For now, a PayPal donation to dgrollins@gmail.com, or an EMT to duanegrollins@gmail.com (make password MLS2013) will see us email you the file.
We want to stress that this is not an effort to take advantage of you. Rather, it’s an effort to provide readers with value in exchange for a small donation to the site. As such, we will provide the document for free to anyone who truly cannot afford it and who requests it by sending an e-mail to duanegrollins@gmail.com.
You will also receive some material free on the site – later this morning the three Canadian teams will be previewed, as well as our overall rankings of the 19 MLS teams.
I hope you understand this decision and I ensure you that CSN will continue to be (now 99%) free for the foreseeable future.
