FOX Sports Moves Eldora NASCAR Truck Race to FOX Business Channel

[CIRF]

I don't care how popular futball, aka soccer, is in Europe and/or South America. What those people like and watch on TV is of no concern or consequence to me. I won't knock it accept to say it is a boring game to watch. Futball, to some extent, has been force fed to Americans, and especially to young people, for decades in the hopes it would become a major American sport and it hasn't gained much traction in popularity until recent years. Much of it's popularity is due to the fact there are upwards of 12 million (some estimates go as high as 20 million) illegal aliens in this country that know nothing much of anything besides futball in regards to sporting events.

When I saw that the Eldora truck race was being preempted by some futball game and is being bumped off of a channel that I pay good money to receive onto a couple of channels that I don't receive it understandably pissed me off. At this point I'd be happier with an internet PPV!

Right I could see them cutting to commercial with ten laps to go...

Here's some numbers that will blow boring futball completely out of the water. I'm very proud to be a small part the spectator stats!




And a hell of a lot more than soccer here in America!!

For you Directtv viewers FBN is 359 and FS2 is 618. I'm in luck I get both of those channels. Some of you might get those channels and not even know you have the,

If ratings and advertiser support is there they will show it on premium channels, the message to NASCAR and its fans is clear as a bell.

If I'm understanding the situation correctly the Eldora truck race has the ratings and advertiser's support but due to Fox selling their souls to soccer heads in the form of broadcast contracts that allow for an infirm tournament schedule the race is preempted. Since it's inception the truck race on dirt has been the highest rated truck race of the season.

And you're right, the message is clear as a bell. The soccer heads have better lawyers negotiating their contracts than NASCAR and let the ratings be dammed.
