Sports Fans of the World: UNITE!
I just sent this to the SportsGuy Reader Rant email address. I suggest you all cut and paste and do the same... Also, does anybody out there like those WANTA FANTA--DONTCHA WANTA FANTA commercials as much as I do??
..hello?...anyone?
..didn't think so... :(
here's YOUR Letter of the Day.
------
To Whom It May Concern:
Insider sucks. There-- it's off my chest. I don't even know how much it costs, but I'm not getting it, based on two principles:
1) no matter how much it costs, I probably can't afford it
2) there's absolutely no reason i should have to pay to read an internet column
and
BONUS!
3) ESPN.com (the number 1 sports internet website) charging people to read, oh...just about everything (i can't even get GAMMONS for free anymore!) just stinks of trying to swindle us out of a buck. You can't make the money you need to run the site off of the huge multi-national corporation banners or major-movie advertisements littering the site? You REALLY need us all to pony up $4.95 (or whatever) a month? Riiiight.
I'm sorry. I won't do it. And I know plenty more people out there that won't, than actually will. I HATE Cnnsi.com, but guess what? I'm going there more and more often now, cuz it's (gasp!) FREE! And guess what? Some of its writers are growing on me.
Today was pretty much the last straw. I just wanted to kill some time, so i floated on over to Sportsguy (who, I swear, if he ever becomes an Insider site, I will boycott ESPN, in ALL of its forms (Monday Night Football, Videogames, SportsCenter) FOREVER) and tried to open up a column about video games from THREE YEARS AGO, and it was an Insider Link. That's not only ridiculous and insulting, it's attempted robbery.
Insider sucks.
Please get rid of it, before I have to change my homepage.
Thanks,
