The Worldwide Leader?

ESPN calls itself the worldwide leader in sports. Why then, after one of the most exciting soccer games in recent history was played, do they still have the results of the NBA Draft Lottery as the main headline? It boggles my mind as to why ESPN would think the NBA Draft Lottery, which took place last night mind you, would be more important than what is soccer’s version of the Super Bowl. Sure the NBA Draft Lottery is an important and exciting event during the season. But more important and exciting than an epic championship match in the world’s most popular sport? Absolutely not. If ESPN wants to truly be the worldwide leader, than they have to understand what take priority in the sporting world. No one in Europe gives a damn about Chad Ford’s first mock draft. Not even most people in the United States care that the Bulls have a tough decision to pick between Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley (a fact that we will be reminded of way too often in the coming weeks). It upsets me that ESPN is so biased to certain sports (cough basketball cough). It is really too bad that they can’t acknowledge a phenomenal game, even if it took place thousands of miles away. Until they prove me otherwise, I don’t find ESPN to be the worldwide leader in anything. Anyways, a short recap of the Man U-Chelsea contest is below.
