I'll break it to you as simply as possible. Firstly, ESPN will edit live television because it's easily accessible to the public. Television broadcast are viewed in higher numbers than a podcast that you have to go through a series of links to click to. Here's an example. Do you ever notice when watching a show on a national program like NBC ABC FOX etc.. they'll always say, "to see the unedited version go online" too such and such link. They will ALWAYS put importance of editing live television over a podcast that doesn't get half the clicks or views that a live t.v programming does. It's that simple and all the other !! is irrelevant you just said. Either take the truth for what it is, or go around acting like you know more than what you really do. 75% of Americans don't even know what or even how to get to a damn podcast, but what do you think that percentage is of those same Americans that know what ESPN is on live t.v and how to get too to that channel. Television will ALWAYS be put in higher regard and more urgency to censor, than an online podcast. Last edited by #TheReturn; 08-18-2012 at 09:35 AM.. | ||

I choose to believe in what I choose to believe in because I want to. I enjoy my belief and I would have it no other way. I said I would respect your disbelief because as an adult I have the right to disagree and hope that one day our opinions line up. However calling me out to be something over the internet won't phase me at all. Keep pushing.... attention won't be found here. Yall have a blessed day | ||||

I think you're a very bright poster & I agree with you much more than I do not, but I needed to chime in on this one. | ||

You questioned why open mindedness is applied to everything accept the bible, and the answer is because the bible as it is primarily used to day is not to spread knowledge or the teachings or "the word". At least not outside of the church. The bible is now used mainly as a condemnation tool to point out everyone's sins. Every Religious protest where the bible is brought out or quoted is condemning others; Gay marriage, protest for new mosques or Islamic community centers, or whatever other big story that goes against the word of God may be that week No one uses the bible in a public setting to preach love and tolerance. Where are the gatherings welcoming gays or other religions since we're all god's children. Maybe I'm wrong but outside of the pulpit, the bible is used as a tool of hate, but I guess it's ok if it's part of God's plan. As Lupe Fiasco once said, "the books that take you to heaven and let you meet the Lord there, have become misinterpreted, reasons for warfare" Bible thumpers and Qu'ran pushers are some of the most narrow minded groups of people out there, so when you ask why we can't be more open minded towards the bible, it makes me SMH. | ||

| It's ESPN, not Sunday morning on BET. They didn't want Skip ranting and getting ESPN Chic-fil-a'd, makes sense to cut the segment short. | |

That show gets GOD AWFUL ratings that on any other network it would have been !! canned. I have no idea how it can have such bad ratings and be such a media magnet when it comes to these sports blogs and whatnot. Of course the Nielson ratings are a joke anyway and don't truly represent the # of people watching, so...who knows what the real #'s would be. I get what you're saying about more people would be watching live then online, but the numbers for live aren't that good to begin with. I just don't see the logic in editing it out of one but not the other, ESPECIALLY in this day and age of online where everything goes viral it seems. You have WAY too little faith in how people use the internet to think that most people don't know how to get podcasts, etc. | ||
