ESPN Doesn’t Ask About Hockey
ESPN.com has a poll on the front page of their site that asks: Which sporting event would you most like to attend?
The choices:
Game 7 of NBA Finals
Game 7 of World Series
NCAA basketball title game
Super Bowl
Masters Tournament
You notice the absence of the Stanley Cup Finals as a choice.
It’s not too big a slam against hockey, with no NHL this season, even the fans the NHL has are bitter right now, and it’d most likely come in dead last. The Super Bowl is easily leading the way right now with 43.6% of respondants choosing the big NFL game to attend above all others. The World Series has a cushy second place spot at 27.1% and the NCAA final game is in third with 15%. I have little doubt if this poll was conducted in August, and not the same day as the NCAA final game, fewer would have chosen tonight’s game.
