DirecTV Drops Versus Due To Greed

Okay, so I'm slow on the uptake for this one, but I just found out that DirecTV was forced to remove the Versus channel due to a squabble with Comcast (which owns Versus). I'm an Indy Car fan and I'm naturally not happy about this because I love my DirecTV. That being said, so long Indy Car, I hope that in the future you hitch yourself to a channel that features more than rodeos and...hockey. I'll not be switching service just to see a channel I watch only when an Indy race comes on. Thank goodness NHRA extended their deal with ESPN and Speed continues to run my overall favorite, Formula 1.

I don't really care who's being the jackass here, whether it be DirecTV or Comcast because I'll vote against the cable company every time, lol. I treasured the day I turned in my cable box after years of crappy service from cable companies, Comcast being among them. One of these days, their stranglehold on neighborhoods across the country will hopefully come to an end and we'll all be the better for it.
