Let's Take Down Flotrack

I am sick and tired of not being able to watch EVERY single race because they lock it under FloPro. We should live in an era where the Internet makes it easier to watch races, not harder. They are terrible at commentary and terrible for the running masses. Who's with me and want to take them down? Let's start a petition.

This guy is with you:

Great criticism of the announcing. They try to make it like every crappy race is the Solinsky 10k.

The thing that most upsets me is the recurring charge crap.

LetsRun - why don't you guys do it. Just charge us once. Hell, runnerspace's quality is better - they have a rewind button. Why doesn't penn go with them - or do they do recurring as well.

Start your own web casting service and undercut them. The only way to "take down" flotrack would be to offer a cheaper product or a better quality product. Fortunately that shouldn't be too hard to do.

clearly their stuff isn't so bad if you're so desperate to see it

and yeah, they won't go out of business until something better comes along.

I wish it was free too, but complaining about Flotrack is the same as a basketball fan complaining that he has to pay his cable bill to watch the NBA playoffs on ESPN.

At least with Flotrack you aren't paying for a ton of channels you'll never watch.

Yeah...but Flotrack's subscription is more than HBO...and probaly comparable to 10 stations that provide a ton more content.

I dare you to any action at all. This post is the extent of your protest.

Jeez, when did America become "The land of people demanding something for nothing"? They provide a service: if you want that service, you pay, if you don't, you don't. Your choice.

And how much bigger is HBO's user base than Flotrack?

At least with ESPN, you get something you want to watch for very little many money. ESPN is $5 per month.

-some dude

PS I really don\'t get why people desire to have \'a la carte\' cable.\' It\'s just going to jack up the price of the great channels. ESPN is $5 a month becuase every grandmother in the country pays for it. Flotrack is $20 per month because only parents/nerds in mom\'s basement pay for it. ESPN without bundling will be $15-20 per month. Your regional sports chanel will $15-20 per month and you\'ll need two - one for NBA team, one for mlb. be HBO will be another $15-20 per monh and you\'ll be at your old cable bill prices with 4 channels.

because i don't want sports channels
