Sirius has Wimbledon tennis for two weeks in late June/early July. Since baseball is the only major professional team sport played through the summer months in this country, and college sports (at least the two that satellite radio deems worthy of coverage) are on hiatus from early April through late August, Sirius really doesn't have any play-by-play available to it.

Incorrect. REAL Football (MLS), all be it nothing like other leauges in the world, is played in the summer.

I assume Sirius does not have MLS matches.

Correct. But, with all due respect for soccer, since when has it been considered a major team sport in the U.S.?

Soccer is a major team sport in the US but with a popularity similar to Arena Football League.
