Default this sport has really gone to shit - 03-19-2006 , 03:43 PM






The level of pandering today was just intolerable and I don't think I
can watch another race on Fox. Not only that but the relentless
corporate shilling is just beginning to wear even the most hardcore fan
down.

If only IROC could get its act together.

That is one the problem with a lot of TV coverage, including the news.
People have to keep talking when they have nothing to say, and they don't
have someone more insightful writing out what they should be saying.

i totally agree - you can add the development of a spec
car and the fact that nascar has chosen to insult and turn
it's back on it's southern roots - my interest as a fan
is quickly eroding...

The bandwagon is starting to get crowded.

I didn't watch any of the coverage but did listen to it on PRN, all they did
was badmouth the Car Of Tomorrow. I used to watch every race from start to
finish and would attend up to 5 a year, now I get work done around the house
and attend one race a year.

I gave up attending races in the early 90s. I also used to never miss a
race on TV. These days, I'd rather play golf on Sunday and just look at
the finishing order when I get home. Same thing I do with football.

Congratulations NASCAR, you are on the same level as the NFL... just
like you wanted.

If you want to watch the races for free somebody has to pay for them.
