ESPN's race coverage is consistently disrespectful to
racing fans. The best argument yet for an all motor sports
channel that I have seen. Saturday night's race was marred
the channel's decision to not show the start of the race due
to a football game going long.
Okay, to those who devoted 2 hours to the football game, I'll
concede those last 15 minutes may have been exciting to you.
I can't tell, because I'm a racing fan. So the race was joined
15 minutes late - so we missed the start and the starting grid.
I and my fellow race fans settled down to watch the race. We
were not worried because "Sportscenter" was following. Silly
us! The race with no start was trimmed to a race with barely
a finish, thanks to "Ess-pen".
If I thought their sponsors care, I would write them, but I
think neither do.
