Tough?

[Cheryl]

I was reading an article today at Laidback Racing about the "chat" with David Hill of Fox on Friday.  I was appalled at his comments when asked about why Fox is dumbing down the coverage with the weasel, so I went to the transcript from the actual chat and this is what he really said:

"FOXSports.com: 
Paul asks: I've been a fan of NASCAR for the last 15 years, and I've seen many changes in how we watch the sport. While I greatly enjoy NASCAR on FOX's coverage, I am not too fond of the implementation of the Digger character. There are many longtime fans who say that the Digger character is childish, dumbs down the coverage, and is a useless element to the broadcast, having no relevance to the upcoming race. What do you say to those who oppose to Digger?
 
3:09 David Hill:  Tough. 
3:09 FOXSports.com:  Resistance is futile: Get your DIGGER gear here!"

I've always thought the people in charge at Fox were arrogant and blind to what the fans really want.  But I really never thought they'd be so completely rude to the viewers as this.

Fox has clearly turned off more old time fans than it has gained new ones. But as long as Nascar and the sponsors continue to pay the $, Fox will do its thing. I hear/read complaints about DW on every Board I'm involved with, but Fox could care less. Maybe we'll get lucky and the current economic situation will have a real effect.
