you've confirmed my point. It's an "important" and intense EPL match. (equating playoff intensity), but it's not a final that is important enough to pre-empt

--America's longest running (with implications as being America's most important) television show.
--NBC's "flagship" program. (HA!).
--On their most watched platform (broadcast) vs. any number of NBC owned cable/sports channels.

Today, in fact, most featured teams are mid-pack. This is not to denigrate the EPL, but rather NBC News. It does not bode well for them.

1. There are NO FINALS, every gave counts - in this case a THREE WAY race with NINE games to go

As for Commie propaganda - no, this is not a loss unless you feel the need to be indoctrinated and/or insulted
