Pissed off at ESPN.

[chuckywang]

Since they brought in NASCAR into their network, I am now seeing a NASCAR race on ESPN2 as opposed to some college basketball game.

Not to change the subject, but I LOVE (and by love, I mean HATE with a passion of 1,000 Holocausts) how ESPN is proclaiming NASCAR the new 4th major sport and that it's making a serious run at Football... Ridiculous sports must need ridiculous claims like this just to keep it in the news.

I prefer NHRA over NASCAR myself.

With roots as regional entertainment in the Southeastern U.S., NASCAR has grown to become the second most popular professional sport in terms of television ratings inside the U.S., ranking behind only the National Football League. Internationally, NASCAR races are broadcast in over 150 countries. It holds 17 of the top 20 attended sporting events in the U.S.1, and has 75 million fans who purchase over $2 billion in annual licensed product sales. These fans are considered the most brand-loyal in all of sports, and as a result, Fortune 500 companies sponsor NASCAR more than any other sport.

i know that really pisses me off

 

[atybimf]

I hate it because it makes the people around here talk about it even more than they do already..

 

[Zebo]

What I hate about nascar is you just know just about anybody with 50 million dollars in the bank could be a "sportsman" other sports keep it real being 100% athletics and ability.

 

[deerslayer]

You know what pisses me off? Ignorant people like you that think the world revolves around you. Not everyone wants to watch 15 college basketball games a day. Get over it. I'm sure your precious college basketball will be on again soon enough.

Yeah, I mean how hard is it to drive. Yeah, it may be dangerous but thats about it. There isn't no "sport" in racing. It shouldn't be called a sport, just refer to it as racing.

Agreed. It is not a "sport" in the truest sense of the word.

It would tke longer than that- few years on short tracks learning how air moves round cars and such but the main criteria is cold hard cash or someones whos got it and wants you in the drivers seat.

Am I a fan? I like it more than other sports. Am I watching the race? No.
