Fuck ESPN


The four letter has solidified it's status as the "MTV of Sports Channels". Instead of showing the all important 2nd leg of the Champions League Quarterfinals today they're showing Sportscenter and Basketball. Man U v. Roma couldn't even make ESPN 2.
Damn. Shame on you ESPN. No, actually...Fuck You ESPN.

Through my college years they'd put the CL games on ESPN 2 meanwhile showing Poker or Billiards on the Mother channel. I never understood this--spitting in the face of the American Soccer Fan.

Now you have to spring for ESPN Deportes just to catch the games in Spanish/at all. ESPN Classic is useless 90% of the time why don't they put the games on there?

ESPN is missing out on a great market and right about now I'm wishing Fox Soccer Channel or Gol TV had the money and the rights to the CL games b/c ESPN continues to fuck it up.

I'm wondering who has the rights to this Summer's Euro 2008 broadcasts. It's probably ESPN and I'm probably gonna need a shotty to shoot myself in the head to end the frustration this channel continues to bring me.

Oh look another episode of Sportscenter full of shitty hyperboles, slang and similes!
Fuck you ESPN.
