most major media outlets, like ESPN, are east coast based and, thus, have more interest in showing games from that region. even with two west coast teams winning the world series the past two years, all they talk about is whether the Red Sox, Yankees, Braves or Phillies will win the world series. Being from the east coast myself and living in Arizona, I definitely see a lack of respect by east coast media. The same can be said for west coast not reporting much on the east but they are a minority compared to the overwhelming media coverage the east coast gets.
