ISL Commissioner David Bascome would neither deny nor admit that he is seeking the Presidency of the Bermuda Football Association.
Rumors surfaced at the end of last week, so www.islandstats.com approached Bascome to clarify the situation.
Bascome who for the past four years has been actively seeking to give players and youngster “Hope for Life” would only say, “There are several things on the table, but at this time I am not ready to reveal anything yet.”
“As you know I would like to see several things happen in Football, something I am very passionate about, however at this time I will keep my cards close to my chest as to what I am planning to do next,” concluded Bascome.
Bascome did however reveal that he has signed a deal that will see Fox Sports International (Fox Soccer Channel) Televise the 2011 & 2012 ISL All-Star game in Bermuda & a weekly half-hour highlight shows.
Bascome said, “Fox Soccer Channel will air the All Star match, they will also air 6 thirty-minute highlight shows.”
Fox Soccer Channel Reaches more than 14 million cable and satellite households in the USA, of which over 5 million are U.S. Hispanic Households, Fox Sports en Español is the leader in Spanish-language sports media. With more than 1,600 hours of live and exclusive programming, a robust web site brimming with streaming video, portable content from FSE Móvil and the Fox Sports en Español Magazine.
A quick emails to www.islandstats.com in response to the story stated that, “With Bascome’s affiliations with the Legends of Sports that sees him speaking with the likes of the NFL Commissioner maybe he could be the right man to lead the Bermuda Football Association.
The Bermuda Football Association needs new ideas, younger ideas, maybe having Bascome as the leader of the Bermuda Football Association, footballers will see the chance to get to the next level more of a reality.”
