If a network cut a close game short to show a program that was scheduled to air they would recieve massive uproar. I'm a football fan and they only get 2 days(3 if you're into college) to enjoy a game on TV, meanwhile I'm bored with the rest of the programs that appear over the week. So it is a inconvience to you because sometimes a game is longer then the time slot they were given once a week on either CBS or Fox. (Not sure how important catching Sportscenter on ESPN or Local News after MNF on their scheduled timeslot is to you)
I have basic cable but I can't stand to watch 95% of the programs that air throughout the week but I don't complain about them because people enjoy to watch them, I have no problem with that. But I constantly hear complaints from the same people go out and say how they can't stand football and the inconvience it is to what they want to watch. I could understand your anger if football was on all the time and always going over their time slot but they are only on 2 non Sport channels once a week on Sunday during the morning and afternoon and 1 one on Monday. It is not that big of a problem and not worth complaining about since football games don't air that often. I could start 30 threads about how I hate such and such programming and wish they would show something else but I don't, I would only come across as bashing those who enjoy to watch it.
