I may have to stop watching and listening to anything ESPN produces. It seems that I am annoyed by basically anything they do anymore. Here is the most recent reason (and I realize its not ESPN's fault for this one):
There is a ... "atheletes of now" bracket... or something along those lines, which compares athletes of different sports and compares them on what appears to be what they do on and off the playing field, and measures their "greatness". I only had to watch one comparison to have enough of this bullshit bracket, decided by the bias, retarded majority of american sports fans. The match up was Kobe Bryant vs Ronaldinho. (I just looked at ESPN.com and saw that Steve Nash was considered more 'now' that serena williams... that just pisses me off more)
If you don't know who Ronaldinho is, He is a Brazilian soccer player. This is a bit about him.(as listed by wikipedia) Among his many achievements and accolades, Ronaldinho has been awarded the FIFA World Player of the Year award twice (2004, 2005), as well as the European Footballer of the Year award and the FIFPro World Player of the Year award twice (2005, 2006).[3] He has downplayed suggestions that he is the best footballer in the world.
I want to note that Ronaldinho is judged as the best player in the WORLD. the WORLD. not the NBA. THE WORLD. can anyone tell me what place the US came in, in the last olympics (a world-wide competition)? I'm pretty sure it wasn't even 2nd place. (granted international basketball is a bit different)
I'll give Kobe Bryant some props though. He was on the team that won 3 straight NBA Championships, of course he hasn't been able to do that since Shaq left. He also may have 'raped' a young girl... thats pretty 'NOW' if you ask me
July 8: (3) Kobe Bryant def. (6) Ronaldinho (60.8% - 39.2%). Unreal. Some people have extremely unrealistic views of the greatness of American atheletes.
