Twitter’s reaction to the 60-minute suspension
While, for most of us, the omission had little impact, it was frustrating for many fans of the show.
Twitter user M’Lynn Hartwell called on the network to “stop these pre-emptive strikes”.
totally agree. It has created an anti-intellectual culture in America from day one. Intelligence is more important than exercise. Information about major events happening around us should be more important than sports.

They “probably don’t care much about (sic!) some stupid game. Sometimes it seems like all the networks fill the airwaves with sports, creating a news/information desert. Please stop these preemptions.”
Another bemoaned “the anti-intellectual culture in America”.
