Visual Entertainment or ESPN Zone? Visual Entertainment or ESPN Zone?
Ah screw it! Technically it was a show about sports so this is good enough.
Did anyone watch that ESPN series "Playmakers" about the fictional football team making a run towards the playoffs? Well if you did and happened to like it, there's some bad news.
Apparantly under pressure directly from the NFL, the show has been cancelled after only one season.
This show was pretty damn good. Hell, it was much better than half of the crap on TV today. Now, all because the old, white, uptight NFL execs got a bug up their ass over what they claimed to be "unfair portrayals of their league and their players", ESPN pulled the plug.
Hopefully a station like HBO will pick this up in the near future, but until then it really sucks and it's all because the NFL refuses to accept the fact that what "Playmakers" showed is probably what really goes down every football season.
