It is sad that we don’t promote goodness as often, or seemingly. Plenty of people do wonderful things. I just read a touching story today of the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team who helped an assault victim. If ESPN wanted to promote goodness in athletes, what a perfect opportunity. But it is hockey and not much controversial about “goodness.”

Sad, pathetic channel.

=======================================

It's all about money, though, isn't it?
ESPN is the "sports" network. They exist to make money, get sponsorships and SELL, SELL, SELL those cars, tubes of toothpaste, dog food, brassieres, breath mints and pick-up trucks.

I agree with you 100%.

Ultimately, the sport of football is popular and generally played on a Sunday and in less than ideal outdoors climates. People gravitate toward it as a unifying measure, some gamble or play fantasy football. The rest is fluff. ESPN is boring and pompous and one reason why I limit my viewing and listening habits.
