Anyone know how/where I can send a formal complaint to ESPN about showing all of 2 minutes of the women's competition this year? They do this every year - why not show the ladies? Just because it's not as popular, couldn't they find a way to air it sometime during the day, even 2am?

I think it's pathetic how they make it an event, give it no air time, yet womans snowboarding (pretty much equally unimpressive) gets a lot more. But really, I wouldn't watch it anyway, but they should give it some airtime.
But good luck with ESPN - if you get as far as getting an automated response back, then you will have gotten further than most people would expect.

They should have at least just broadcasted it on ESPN 2.

"Equally unimpressive"? Women's skiing "unimpressive"? I can understand not wanting to watch, but calling what Sarah Burke, or Grete, or Leskinen, does "unimpressive"... now that's just lame. Do you skip over the women's sections in ski/snowboarding movies too?

i think what he means it is very boring to watch, cause everything is basic, BUT, i love how there is soo much potential in womens skiin, theres a lot of progression which is awsome

i think that it is all about ratings and that skiing is still progessing so give it time and go to espn.com look at contacts and you will find all you want

ugh, we had to watch the girls snowboard... booooooooooooooring!
so why not watch those hot ladies throw down?
search the espn site and email everyone on there like 10000 times.
one person can make a difference.
