North Carolina Tar Heels: Can we have better broadcast options?!
Robert Griffin III’s consistent bashing of the North Carolina Tar Heels proves that there should be options for fans to watch their favorite teams play.
When fans sit down to watch their favorite teams play, they shouldn’t have to mute the television or device they are watching on because the broadcast team is unbearable.
That was the case for North Carolina Tar Heels fans on Saturday afternoon, as the ESPN broadcast team of Bob Wischusen and Robert Griffin III was as one-sided as you can get.
Honestly, it felt as if they were on Clemson’s payroll.
In sports broadcasting, especially at the national level, aren’t commentators supposed to be as biased as possible? Shouldn’t the people calling the game provide fair and accurate thoughts regardless of who they want to win?
It’s obvious that Robert Griffin III has never learned about how to be unbiased while having a microphone attached to him.
If big-time networks, such as ESPN, are going to allow their commentators to be as one-sided as they want, it’s time to provide different options for fans to choose from.
Instead of having to torture ourselves listening to Wischusen and Griffin III kiss the ground the then 6-4 Clemson Tigers walked on, how about you find a way to connect the North Carolina Tar Heels radio broadcast, led by Jones Angell, for Tar Heels fans to elect to listen to?
You can do this for every team that provides their own types of broadcasts. Allow fans to choose who they want to listen to.
Don’t tell me that I can “mute my television and listen to the radio broadcast.” That’s impossible, given that the streams don’t match.
Make it so that before a game begins, I can make the choice myself.
No, it is not just me saying this. Go look at the replies to this tweet I put out during the game. Plenty of people were very upset with the commentating we had to suffer through for nearly four brutal hours.
I’ll pay ESPN to shut @RGIII ‘s microphone.

To the big-time networking companies, if you’re not going to make any changes, at least never put Robert Griffin III on a UNC football broadcast ever, ever again.
