Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Cowlishaw is only one on that show that promotes hockey. The rest put it down. Especially the host guy. f*** that guy. Yeah, that's true. Cowlishaw is actually a pretty decent hockey fan. He's one of the very few guys that actually likes hockey, which is nice that at least one person on ESPN does. It's supposed to be a national sports network, yet they treat the the sport of hockey like dirt. Things weren't always that way; remember the Rob Ray commercial with him fighting some delivery guy to promote ESPN's coverage of the NHL? You can't say that the NHL doesn't deserve it, because it is a screwed up league in many, many ways (thanks, Gary!), but the fact that they bash the sport in general when they don't even know about it is what I don't like about it. Especially Reali. This guy doesn't watch any sport outside of basketball, which, in my opinion, is the worst out of the four major sports, so why the heck is this blowhard talking about sports he doesn't even watch? It makes no sense that he even has a job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 The biggest reason why hockey may never be mainstream to Americans is because it wasn't an American made sport. If you look at the tops sports football, baseball, basketball, and even NASCAR are all American invented sports. Look at soccer, biggest sport in the world, but barely gets noticed here because it wasn't started by our country. Hockey was created in Europe, so Americans are going to reject it as a favorite. Fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
