More Negative comments about WSoD on ESPN

This newspaper seems dead set against the idea of the World Series of Darts on TV!
I found the link to it on; PhillyDarts.com
PhillyDarts.com View topic - Well, did you see the first show? What did you think?: "Heres some feed back from The HeraldToday.com:
www.bradenton.com
I'm not saying ESPN is getting desperate for programming, but do we really need to see the World Series of Darts? What's next, the Apopka Elementary School Marbles Championship? ( this was written by Mike Bianchi ) mbianchi@orlandosentinel

When I went to check the source/link I found this article as well:
MOST RIDICULOUS PROGRAMS ON ESPN

The World Series of Poker has drawn a large following over the years. Unfortunately, the network has jumped the shark with these offerings. Hey, come to think of it, jumping a shark would be far more interesting than anything on this list:

5 Paintball championships. A fair amount of athleticism is required for this game, given it requires good hand-eye coordination. But this is something we want to play, not watch. Question: How do they clean the camera lens?

4 World Series of Darts. A bar game we'd only find interesting if we were sitting in the bar, with plenty of beer to drink.

3 Obstacle course challenge. Think Nickelodeon Double Dare challenge but without the green slime.

2 Dominoes tournament. Duller than dirt. Competitors take this game seriously, but I think ESPN's deal with the International Domino Federation through 2011 was a bit premature.

1 Hot dog eating contest. Not only must-not-see TV, but totally disgusting. We know Americans like to eat, but we don't need competitive eaters making SportsCenter's Top 10 highlights.

I think you can easily replace darts with spelling bee and poker...

I some times think these articles are written by folks who use fill in the blanks templates, and take no time to investigate the sport of darts at it highest levels and it's superstars.
