ESPN will televise Obama’s inauguration live
ESPN is joining the lineup of networks that will offer extensive coverage of President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration next Tuesday.
The network will televise the noon ceremony, and possibly carry live interviews with sports figures at the event.
It’s likely the first time that the sports channel has ever covered a presidential inauguration, even with presidents like a former sportscaster (Ronald Reagan) or a former baseball-team owner (George W. Bush).
I have now lost any and all respect for ESPN. This is not a sporting event. The guy is not a former sports notable, not a former team owner or former sportscaster. What makes B. Hussein Obama rate? I could say something, but I’ll refrain.
