I can't think of any way of saying this without coming off as being cruel and mean-spirited which is not my intention, so here goes nothing.

I have to vent because ESPN's shameless cross promotion of all things Disney has reached a new low.

Can someone explain why I, as a sports fan, want to watch the nightly "sick kid meets his idol" report that is currently going on Sportscenter? One of these stories might be remotely interesting - though not really -- but a whole week of this stuff?

Yes, they are nice little sappy stories, and human interest (IN SMALL DOSES) is part of what we do, but these stories belong on Oprah or Maury, not on a friggin sports highlights show.

And what makes me even more angry about it is ESPN's only purpose for airing them is to promote Disney's contributions to Make A Wish.

It is shameful and disgraceful and frankly publicity stunts like this are a big reason I usually stick to watching FSN's nightly report (1/2 hour of highlights so not much time for bullshit) or ESPN News when I want to get the scores. I used to love sportscenter, now I hardly watch it and nearly every time I do I find yet another reason to tune it out.

If you want straight news turn to ESPN News, what's the big deal?

My cable package doesn't carry ESPN News. THAT's the big deal.
