I know this is about Tony Stewart...but ESPN still running baseball highlights on sports center....and story on website is still acting like in was an alleged incident when the sheriff has already confirmed it...still not even reporting the death...this is unreal....terrible journalism.

I tuned in at the top of the hour. The Sportscenter is LIVE, they led off the show with Stewart (maybe 5 minutes, if that), but kept throwing "witnesses report" around, like the video hadn't been out there for a bit. And now that dude is confirmed dead, it's still crickets.

I haven't watched ESPN for anything but live sports in a long ass time, so while I'm not exactly surprised, this is embarrassing. They call themselves the 'worldwide leader" in sports, yet this story is blowing up, and they're just chilling. Ridiculous.

 

[WaddupDoe!]

How is this not all over espn....

Because they want to gather all the facts before they report on it.

Isn't this the reason ESPN went with all live sportscenter's to cover shyt like this?

It's mind blowing. I mean they've been terrible for awhile and behind on big stories forever. But generally after falling behind they try and make up by going overkill wall to wall with things and all kinds of people spouting opinions or live reports...but it's like they're completely ignoring this story. I man died at a sporting event. It doesn't get much more news worthy and tragic than that.

I could sorta understand not being all over it if it was say a fan or something, but you have well known race car driver possibly murdering another during a race. shyt is front page.

Like it's one thing to get out and yell from the side, but he ran towards the car and stood in the middle of the track. fukk was he thinking

 

[DeVanteSwing]
