Is anybody else sick and tired of how much ESPN is push the Miami Heat on us. I mean, just the other day I was checking out their webpage when I noticed that they now have a sub-category of “Heat Index” under the NBA. Why is this such a big deal, you ask? I will tell you. Guess how many other teams in the NBA, or any other sport for that matter, have their own sub-categor dedicated solely to them on ESPN. The answer is of course none.
This is ridiculous. Not only do they televise Lebron‘s stupid “Decision,” but now this. All this demonstrates to me is two things. One, they will do anything for ratings and to attract viewership, which includes pushing and/or endorsing a team. This brings me to my next point. Bias. How can anyone say that ESPN is not biased after something like this? Answer: you can’t. Where was Boston’s own sub-category when they brought in Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen three years ago? Where was the Lakers’ sub-category when they brought in Pau Gasol three years ago? Where is New York’s sub-category now that they have Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, and Billups? Nowhere to be found. Clearly ESPN simply wants to ride the Lebron bandwagon for as long as they can.
Well, as for me, I’ll just keep taking pleasure in watching the Heat lose and probably fail to win the eight championships that Lebron promised when he first arrived in Miami.
