#FanSpeak:Twitter reacts to Mumbai FC omission in TV listing calls it Shameful and outrageous decision
NONE OF Mumbai FC's matches are included in the I-League TV listings for January and February 2016, and this has not escaped the notice of their fans.
The anguished Mumbai FC fans took to social media to voice their outrage. They expressed anger at the Indian football governing body AIFF for letting such an injustice come to pass. Many called for protests against it. Some even saw foul play behind such gross mishandling of the telecast schedule.
Here's a few of the tweets the emotional response the episode provoked in Mumbai FC fans:
We @MumbaiFC fans boycott the tv listings for @ILeagueOfficial @AiffMedia @praful_patel .. Dont kill us #Indianfootball

It's needless to say how some of the leagues have benefited from top quality telecast, @MumbaiFC will suffer because of this blackout.

@AiffMedia would like to know how this decision was made! Like why only @MumbaiFC was targeted? Rest all clubs are having matches telecasted

@AiffMedia u aim to promote & develop football! And u start that by ignoring the only club from India's biggest metropolitan city! @MumbaiFC

Decision to not televise @MumbaiFC's @ILeagueOfficial matches defies all logic since the club's promoters virtually own @ten_sports.
