August 20, 2007 by Hawk.
I feel so sorry for the Little League teams playing in their World Series today. Just as their games were getting going the story broke that Michael Vick will be pleading guilty to the charges against him. Was this newsworthy? Sure. Did ESPN need to preempt programming on BOTH ESPN and ESPN2 to chatter inanely away forever about the story? Hell no!
This was a big moment for these kids. Some of them may never have the opportunity again to play baseball on nationally broadcast television and some scumbag running a dog fighting operation took that away from them.
I think both Vick and ESPN owe these kids a huge apology for taking their chance to be on TV away from them.
Hawk (annoyed)
