While that silly sport where six snowboarders bomb down the same race course all together is still in the Olympics, it will not be in the 2013 X Games, according to a story on ESPN.com/Action.
“There wasn’t one single factor that led to this decision,” said Tim Reed, senior director of content strategy for ESPN X Games. “It just comes down to filling the schedule with how much we believe we need to make the event enjoyable to the fans and deliver on what we need from a product standpoint.”
Reminds us of the way we felt when ESPN cut super modified shovel racing from their live, faux-sporting, action entertainment television event schedule. Yeah, we didn’t feel anything at all. Hey, maybe someday, there won’t even be an X Games.
