ESPN not playing fair

What a bunch of crap.....

I mean really?....What would it take for ESPN to give the kids family the prize.


Mom says...."I told him if Jimmy Kimmel calls, he’s going to have to miss that too.”

You can pretty much bet on that...

This will definitely give ESPN some negative press

Why?

The kid is 12, to win the prize you need to be 18.

Pretty cut and dry.

Should have used dads name instead.

Espn is working on giving him something

Espn won't get negative press over this,

Because he's 12 and you need to be 18 to win.

There's a certain thing called the terms of service and it states you have to be 18

Gotta play by the rules. The kid ignored the rule ... no prize works for me.

If that's the case then ....

Instead of a hat a t-shirt and an autographed picture of Joe Piscopo why not give the family the trip and $19k instead of 20.

I agree that the kid shouldn't get a prize. Good for him for guessing correctly but rules are rules.

But I thought everybody is winner?

Before Phil Mickelson turned pro, he won the Phoenix open. They gave him $500 credit at the pro shop and the guy in 2nd got the 600K...

They should give him something IMHO

Maybe he can win a ribbon for "participation".
