One week shy of being 40 years to the day, a major television network did not pre-empt a regularly scheduled program for a sporting event.
No matter how you look at it it's was just as stoopid today as it was in 1968. This is since most folks use some form of TIVO or DVR to record things while they watch other events especially since it was Sunday and there is football.
So 38 laps left in the Sprint Cup race out in Phoenix they decide to switch it over to ESPN2 on the east coast because they have to show America's Stupidest (umm err uhh I mean Funniest) Videos.I just don't get it.
I remember the outrage that the original incident caused and I gotta wonder if anyone else that was watching the race feels the same. I mean there are some that don't have ESPN2 and many of those folks could be in the fan base that would watch a NASCAR event.
