Pretty obvious Espn is gonna force some stupid hoopy ball narrative America doesn’t want. Can fox sports or turner sports pick it up.

Co-Champions is a travesty. Not what America is all about.

8 co-champions is an absolute disgrace.

These kids need to learn there are no ties in life.

Had nothing to do with ESPN. It went 4 hours past their scheduled time and they showed the whole thing.

They literally ran out of approved challenging words. The group of 8 got 47 correct spellings in a row before they ran out of words.

All 8 got the $50,000 and well deserved. Those words were insane

it sucks. But what else do you suggest for these kids? Wand while you're answering, think about the logistics of making your solution happen.
Only thing they can realistically do is give them less time than they're getting now.

If they actually ran out of approved words that’s insane

The fact that I heard sports shows this morning devoting time to bitching about the fact that the Spelling Bee ended in a tie is just so pathetic.

What those kids did was very impressive.

Yeah, that one should have only received a half-share of the prize.

They should have started having them spell names.

"Your word is Jaxxon."

"Country of origin?"

"Travel ball"

"Jaxson"

"I'm so sorry"

The amount of questions those kids keep asking over and over makes this unwatchable. And I have tried.

Give them the word and nothing else...............lets see if they have 8 winners then.

And grab a dictionary and find one a good one.............that will break the tie.

Stretch it out to another day? Why not have it on a Friday/Saturday if needed.

Idk, but I didn't mind the 8 winners. Nice to see a whitey win with the group.
