During coverage of the Euro 2012 soccer competition, ESPN’s feed apparently had a few moments of non-existence that were experienced by many. Viewers quickly expressed their displeasure about the development.
Dear Comcast and ESPN. I don't know whose fault it is I can't watch the Euro final, but I'm blaming Chris Berman.

99% of the programming on #ESPN is crap. The one time something worth watching is on, the network crashes. Joke of a channel. #Euro2012

ESPN FIGURED THAT A BLACK SCREEN WOULD BE MORE ENTERTAINING THAN WATCHING SPAIN PLAY SOCCER.
