The Ultimate D*ck Move

 Hello, everyone...except those at Charter Communications and Walt Disney. Tonight, I was about to settle in for some pre-Labor Day weekend college football, and a gigantic interconference matchup from Salt Lake City between the Utah Utes and the Florida Gators. As I stepped away from my TV to grab a Coke Zero Sugar, the TV screen which was on ESPN (who's carrying the game) suddenly and unexpectedly went dark. After trying to ascertain on social media what was going on, I get this picture:

Turns out because the Disney Company wants to be greedy, Spectrum Cable decided to be petty, and not Tom Petty either, and most of us Gator fans in Tampa and Orlando are screwed. As well as CFB fans in New York, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Charlotte, Raleigh, and other media markets that have Spectrum as their main cable provider. So, unless you have ESPN+ or the Disney Bundle (which is an additional $10 per month along with cable programming), if you live in a Spectrum market, you're SOL. My questions are why didn't most of us (myself included) know more about this mess beforehand, and why did Spectrum not even give the viewers watching a heads up that they were going to pull the plug RIGHT AS THE GAME WAS KICKING OFF?! I can partially answer those questions, as most of us in Tampa Bay (and Orlando) were a bit preoccupied the last few days with Hurricane Idalia. But talk about a dick move. Instead of fighting the so-called "war on woke", Governor Pipe Dream should focus his wrath on the Disney Corporation on fleecing cable customers like this. And Spectrum, no we don't want your cell phone service for $29.99.
