I read through some of this, and I really don't understand why there is so much discussion about such a simple and common subject.
The insider show was good and well done. That being said, it was a loaded baked potato with NO Steak (or as someone said, "an all-bread sandwich")
Its like not filming the Super Bowl, and only being able to watch NFL network analyists talk about it...
No one really cares about a wrap up show when you can't view the subject of the conversation - the event.
It boarderlined as teasing the audience, and probably why folks are a bit hostile or aggrivated. Teasing works well as a marketing ploy, but only when you have a product to deliver.
I would have paid to watch. I kept scrambling looking for coverage and only found the insider show. I kept waiting for it to turn into an infomercial where they were going to show a link and say; "If you've enjoyed the insider show and want to be a part of the live coverage, follow the link below and Paypal $19.99 to SpinTV.com for full event access"
I'd have been mad that I had to pay, but I still would have cause I really wanted to watch this tourney.
I DO apprecieate the vision and hard work JT is putting into the sport, and he strikes me as an intelligent guy, so I'm not hating on what was done.
Something just doesnt seem right about this. It honeslty feels political or something. Its clearly common sense that the event should have had full live coverage, and I have yet to hear a clear reason why there wasnt.
Was it lack of funding?
Lack or resourses?
Lack of permission?
How can the disc golf community support this NOT happening again in the future?
Do we need a fundraiser?
Show interest by poll or petition?
How can we help?
