Another ESPN Outrage !!!
They've preempted horse racing for girls' softball ... Hungarian tiddleywinks ... and retired dentists' shuffleboard ...
... but today ... they've sunk to a new low ... ... preempting racing for a freaking speech !!! No game ... no contest ... no competition ... just a freaking speech by Troy Aikman !!! Remeber this one, folks .. the next time ESPN talks about their "commitment" and "coverage" of thoroughbred racing.

And your picks are s h i t too! Back to your cardboard box now! See you under the Cross Bronx Expressway. I'll toss you a bagel when I drive past, but you have to be awake to catch it. And, NO! For the 1000th time, I don't need my windshield cleaned.

i was yelling at the t.v. as well. like i told my husband, they had that thing planned and scheduled. no way it shoulda gone over the time limit. but at least it wasn't held up for little league baseball or cheerleader competition...

it really comes down to betting......... non bettors dont consider horse racing as a sport. we always seam to think we can do this or that to get new people involved but you will never get the general public behind a wagering driven product..........except maybe poker.

Expect this a lot!!!
 They always done this when any horse racing program is schudule to be on, it's nothing new and will continue just like the past. ESPN doesn't care about horse racing and like MTV, have gotten worse with age! It's all $$$ with the "big time" sports channel.Quote:

Do something about it
Here's an e-mail address at ESPN. If enough of us take a minute and send them an e-mail and let them know how we feel.
Let's do it! http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/...contact/espntv
