re: Occupy Gameday in Oregon

They're running a live program in a public place...are they going to block out all people in the crowd wearing Addidas jerseys so as not to upset Nike?

There are broadcasts all across America where "rivals" or "corporate brands" get air time because you are broadcasting a live event or hey, an actual football game. ESPN would block out the Goodyear blimp.

And no, ESPN has no rivals in college sports. Blocking a reference on a stupid sign to a former anchor shows how "controlled" the ESPN machine is...and it's petty...free air time? Please, that's like saying a football game gives Scott's Grass seed free advertising time.
