My last straw with ESPN came a few summers ago when the Lakers had a vacancy in their head coaching position and it was rumored that Coach K from Duke was being considered for the job. Of an hour long edition of Sportscenter, I would have to say that, no exaggeration, 90% of the show was dedicated to this rumor and the other 10% a few baseball highlights. ESPN cares more about flashy, big time athletes, teams, and games than the actual sport itself. In a roundabout way, a reason young athletes don't want to do the fundamentals anymore is because they aren't spectacular enough. Most athletes want to get their highlights onto Sportscenter. Eventually, ESPN will destroy the sports world.
