Fox News Fans Angry News Preempted by Texas Tech/Oklahoma Game

This is almost too funny for words. The Texas Tech/Oklahoma game started an hour late due to weather Saturday afternoon. As a result, the game had to be shifted to another channel so that FOX could start its broadcast of Game 3 of the World Series.

It appears that a number of people became upset when FOX shifted the Texas Tech/Oklahoma game over to the FOX News Channel.

Just like anyone else these days that has something they want to complain about those people looking to watch the news took to Twitter to complain (this is just a small sample):

SENSORSHIP, FOX NEWS WAS REPLACED BY SPORTS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROGRAM. CHECK YOUR LOCAL TV STATION.

WTF FOX NEWS WHY DID YOU TURN OFF HUCKABEE FOR CRAPPY COLLEGE FOOTBALL?

Why is Fox News showing football instead of news? What the hell!

The reason for showing the game is pretty simple--it was one of the best ones of the season to date and between two top 20 teams. Who would have a problem with that?

Well--the kind of folks that send out awesome tweets like these:

@bigdjk34 libs are perverted in every way you love traitors & hate patriots I have no use for politician but I know a patriot froma traitor

@cdgoldstein @MikeGianella probably not the adjective I would use with me. I can tweet about McD sucking balls and this would not happen.

Can I trademark a pumpkin with Obozo carved on it and call it a jackass o'lantern?

Hey, it takes all kinds to make the world go round; I get it. But there might be some thoughts that are better kept private. If you are really that worried about missing the news pick up a paper or--here's a thought--change the channel.
