Can people please go out of their way and write them an email about the score board. I cant watch this shit. I already emailed them
Social media pressure is better because it's out in the open.
This is what ESPN is doing with NCAA hockey. A pretty standard setup across the ESPN networks.
What I'm unclear on is if Bally is changing the frame. Are we not seeing things because they're behind the score bug, or because it's out of frame? They don't carry over the scorebug to the commercials (yet), so it doesn't seem like they're squishing the frame, which is a whole other argument.
It's easy to have your argument dismissed if you aren't arguing about the right thing.
I'd note that the scorebug for ESPN is also needlessly oversized in order to promote their own programming, rather than sponsors. TVs are getting larger however.
Personally, I haven't had as many issues with the scorebug as some people, but I also watch a variety of games. NCAA on ESPN, ECHL on Flohockey, Big Ten on B1G, WJC on TSN (via NHLN), NBCSN, etc., so other than it being on the bottom, it's not obtrusive. I also haven't seen tv twitter go off on it actually blocking anything.
