ANOTHER REASON TO BOYCOTT THE X-GAMES
« on: January 29, 2012, 05:02:50 PM »
Sorry for the rant Slap Pals, but ESPN is really starting to piss me off.

These big wigs who only care about football and run the X games as a way to make money off skaters, dirtbikers, and other action sports personalities just gave us all another reason to HATE! them.

Early today, they disqualified a skier, Langley McNeal who was already in the Skier Cross Finals because she was wearing an armband supporting fallen skier Sarah Burke. Yes, an armband. In support of someone who died doing what she loved. I know if this was a skater in the same situation, we would be going ape-shit.

They're deleting every post off their facebook about this to try and cover it up.

I know street league is kind of boring to watch, but it's a hell of a lot better than ESPN's X Lames. Do what you can to keep the X games from gaining popularity. Fuck them.

/end rant.
