MSNBC playing soccer? So now they're a sports channel.

1. I imagine their ratings drop has been cataclysmic...

I used to love Rachel Maddow until she revealed her true colors as a corporate tool. As George Bush said, fool me once...

2. It's Championship Sunday

They're playing and showing all 10 games.

6. But that are already showing them on NBCSP and

simultaneously on MSNBC. I think there is more at work here than just showing a soccer championship. By the way. I love soccer.

12. This is at least the second year they've done it

It's only for the last game of the Premier League season.
They're also on NBC, USA and several other channels at the same time. All 10 games at the same time.

13. English Premier League and not MLS football?

3. Well, they haven't been a 'news' channel for some time now!

Next, Cooking with Rachel; Food for Conservative Tastes!!!

11. Tweetie Bird Eggs Benedict?

then I thought of Benedict Arnold, which MSNBC has always been.

4. The same is done when the Olympics are on. Each channel shares coverage.

In this case NBC owns the US coverage of Premiere League Football.

Unfortunately the championship was won over a week ago so no drama.

Minor drama in which three teams get relegated to the lower league.

5. Plus drama when a bomb alert causes a game to get postponed ... (nt)

7. I thought Sunday's was for prison porn???

10. Ha! You beat me to the phrase. :D

[kysrsoze]

8. Better that than a bunch of insipid prison fetishist porn.

9. True.

14. It's not like they have real news anymore, anyway.

It's all salivating over Drumpf and Shillary.

15. I've watched them all

and Rachel Maddow is far and away the most knowledgeable and best supporter of progressive policies.
