ESPN (BA)

Think ESPN's a little too NBA-centric with their coverage? Well, you may have a point. I just took a survey on their PAGE 2 site regarding being a sports fan.

Sportscenter is dominated by NBA, golf, and NASCAR...disproportionately, according to their own poll numbers. See below. By the stats at the time I took the quiz, there should be almost as much NHL on their highlight shows as there is NBA...but we know that there is not. Hmmm. Could it be that they try to fake grand interest in a property they own?

What about golf? Only 0.8% of those surveyed said that "galf" is their favorite sport...compared to 5.2% who chose the NHL. So right there, anytime a ESPN representative say that they are serving their fans and giving them what they want, you know that it is not true.
