The Worldwide Leader in Poor Taste

Just caught this even though it's a bit old. There was a poll that was on Page 2 on ESPN.com about a week ago asking readers which they would prefer - that the Steelers beat the Patriots, Santana gets traded to any team besides the Red Sox, Kevin Garnett blows out his knee, or all of the above. Are we serious here?? It's bad enough that they post a blatantly anti-Boston poll, but ask fans if they are rooting for the (career ending?) injury of one of the NBA's premium good guys is despicable.

Covering they asses, ESPN did release an apology: “Friday’s ESPN.com Page 2 poll used very poor judgment in its
option about Kevin Garnett. The poll was removed immediately upon the
senior editorial staff becoming aware, and we sincerely regret the
error in judgment. We are addressing the issue and apologize to Kevin
Garnett, to the Celtics organization and to those offended by the poll
question. Obviously, we wish good health to all athletes.”

Here at the Honest Male Perspective, I would like to release an official poll in response to their poll. Would you rather:
A.) Fox Sports gets an exclusive national contract with the MLB, the NBA and the NFL, leaving only Hockey and women's badminton for ESPN to cover.
B.) All of the talented anchors leave the network to pursue a career in professional jizz mopping.
C.) Stu Scott's lazy eye falls right out of his face on national TV.
D.) All of the above.

How does it feel, ESPN? How does it feeeeeel?
