This Kind of Promotion Is a Little 2 Much

Fox Sports, motivated by greed, has elected to place its premium programming with its new Fox Sports West 2 in order to manipulate knuckleheads throughout the region to call their cable companies so that the channel may be added to their local cable lineup.

While the cable industry will never be accused of sainthood, Fox chose not to allow its new offering to earn its audience, as ESPN and Prime Ticket did over many years, but instead to coerce the fans into clamoring for it.

Perhaps the name should be changed to Like a Fox.
