FOX switches from Yankees Red Sox to NASAR mid at bat
Watching sports on FOX is really annoying, what with dancing robots and Scooter, but they usually show the entire game. Not this time, though.
On Saturday, April 12, in the 9th inning, in the middle of an at bat, FOX cut away from Yankees vs Red Sox to cover NASCAR. Seriously. NASCAR. Cars were going in circles. They were making left turns. It was riveting!
Yes, we heard them say they were going to FX (although not everyone did), and not being regular FX viewers, the game was over by the time we found the correction station. Yeah, it was over... seeing as there was 2 strikes and 2 outs in the 9th inning, games tend to end pretty quickly. And over the years, aren't we accustomed to the first event finishing and the second event starting on another channel and then switching to the primary channel after the first event is over? This way, the event gets full coverage instead of screwing around with NASCAR fans and baseball fans all at the same time.
We already new FOX sports coverage sucked - it's just surprising whenever they go out of their way to prove it.
