Do you think the ESPYS got the Best Game wrong?

Question

Okay, the Superbowl was a great game. In fact, a stupendous game. I'm not downplaying anything done by the New York Giants, they were amazing. But there was one nomination that was off the list. I love playing tennis, but I have always hated watching it. But the Wimbledon Championship match was the greatest tennis match not only of this century, but of all-time. Nothing could downplay that match. I watched every second of it like it was magic. I'm not saying that it was the greatest game, but it should've been nominated.

Answer 1

Its voted by ppl, lotta ppl dint watch the tennis game, i saw it but i thought the super bowl was better.

Answer 2

ya it was  the NYJ never should of been on that list and out of the 3 that were i would of not went with that 1 one of the basketball games

Answer 3

Espy's always get things wrong...but it's all about demographics.  When given the choice of a little league team or an armature going against a pro team or person, I always vote for the little league team or the armature, because, in my opinion, they deserve the award more.  But 9 time out of 10, the pro team is going to win because they are more visible to the public.  In this instance, of course the NFL is going to win out over tennis, because tennis is international.   It's the wrong choice, but that's the way the vote will always go.

Answer 4

Wimbeldon was played after the nominations was made.

The ESPY's was a taped event and was made a couple days after the Nadal Federer match

Answer 5

I think the ESPYS in general got a lot wrong. What makes them bad is that people vote, not sports experts only, so people who don't deserve stuff get it.

Sydney Crosby gets the award for NHL Player? No dice, Alex Ovechkin, who swept the NHL league awards should have got it. But the fact is, Canada loves Crosby, and so does Pittsburgh, so he can get more votes then OV, who comes from Russia (if you have been there, you can testify, their internet blows!) and DC, where like 100 people tops care enough to vote for him.

This is why for presidential elections we have the electoral college system!
