MSNBC has an article on NASCAR benefitting from MLB's potential strike. They also provide a poll...soccer is at 4% while NASCAR has a high 80%...go ut there and press on that poll!!!

Who are the idiots running MSNBC anyway? They also posted an editorial seriously making the argument that Lance Armstrong wasn't a great athlete because the Tour de France wasn't an athletic sport.
"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life."

I'll help skew the vote again. Soccer up to 5%
Which sport will you watch more of if there is a baseball strike?
NASCAR
56%
NBA
3%
NFL
31%
Soccer
5%
Extreme sports
4%

Only 200 votes for soccer? Bigsoccer alone must have a thousand people who stuff ballots regularly.

What's worse is that the guy they hold up as an example of a real athlete is a baseball player.

NASCAR and soccer are the only two logical choices since they overlap the most with the baseball season. But, you can't expect much logic out of too many people out there.

Bump. The title of this thread should be changed so that people are aware there's a good ballot-stuffing opportunity. Something like: "Skew a poll and beat NASCAR!!!"

... and the thread should also be moved to Business and Media so that it shows up on the main page when bumped. Some help here mods?

Up to 8%.
Gee--I wonder why MSNBC argues in the article that NASCAR should be the obvious increase? Could it be, I don't know..
Beause of the options they list, NASCAR is the only league NBC still has the TV rights too?
Its just a shot in the dark.
