Yeah...can't remember where I read it recently, but, ESPN/Summer X Games have a commitment problem. They've been to something like nine cities in the event's 20-year history.
Time to move to a new city...and the "fear of loosing funding" is absolutely an excuse to do so. Plus, I'm pretty sure Charlotte, Detroit and Chicago are more then ready to pony-up more money than they were getting in Austin.
Hate to see it leave. But, I'm not a fan of those "sports" anyway (even though some are interesting to watch...if it's on TV and I scan though a channel which may be airing it).
