I don't even need them to play it live; I get plenty of games of FSMW.
I'd just like them to acknowledge that it exists as a sport...outside of Sidney Crosby. That would be more than ESPN is willing to do.
ESPN has been a bunch of butthurt little ****s over hockey. They lost the contract to do live games and suddenly
nothing from the network. They give the WNBA more pub than the NHL because they don't have the rights to it.
I've hated ESPN ever since.
