My Letter to MSNBC
Here is my letter to MSNBC that I emailed earlier today.
To whom it may concern,
I am an avid soccer fan of the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. I tuned in to MSNBC to watch the game against Germany yesterday. I am absolutely appalled that the only goal in regulation play happened while I was watching a commercial about air fresheners. This is the OLYMPICS! I believe that MSNBC makes enough money to not have to play stupid commercials during a continuous play Olympic sport. If nothing else, do what all the other stations, and in my opinion, at this point, better stations are doing and have the match sponsored and put the little icon in the corner of the screen. I did not tune into your station so I could be sold air fresheners and other inane products. I tuned in to watch a historic match between two teams that in all technicalities should have been the gold medal game. To miss such an important goal in such an important game in the Olympics infuriates me to no end. Instead, you come back from commercial and tell me the U.S. is up one to nothing and do not even show the replay of the goal for another five minutes. I am absolutely disgusted at such horrible coverage of soccer at the Olympics. I only hope that your affiliates at NBC have the common sense not to take a commercial break during such an important game for the Gold medal. It is my wish that MSNBC learn more about the importance of the Olympics and less about irritating ways to make a quick buck.
I think my point was made. (And I didn't even use any curse words!)
Quote of the Day:
"Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity." ~Christopher Morley
