Enough With The Scroll

(From The USA Today -- By Michael McCarthy)

Soccer fans probably applaud ESPN for televising all 64 WORLD CUP matches on ABC, ESPN and ESPN2. But some don't like that BOTTOM LINE information scoreboard that crawls across the bottom of ESPN2 programming.

ESPN has received 80 viewer complaints since Friday.

One called it "annoying."

Another said, "No real soccer fan gives a hoot about baseball or any other sport during these games."

The scroll stays, ESPN spokesman MAC NWULU says.

"U.S. sports fans have come to expect the service on ESPN2 for more than 10 years," he says.
