The Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony was scheduled to be on ESPN2 for two hours, but nearly four and a half hours later, it’s still going.
HOF inductions ran long and drag racing fans were not happy about it
ESPN’s broadcast of the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony has run WAY long, preempting NHRA drag racing coverage. Racing fans are not pleased.

NHRA drag racing was scheduled to be on after the Hall of Fame broadcast, and apparently there are some angry drag racing fans who use Twitter.
Hey @NHRA, what the hell is this crap on instead of qualifying from Seattle? Oh wait...it's absolutely anything else that @ESPN airs.
— Wade M (@kaleysdad) August 3, 2014 @NHRA sigh… sure wish the morons that schedule @espn programs wouldn't be such big fucking morons. How hard is it to schedule shit?!?!
— Taco Roo (@BuzzRolled) August 3, 2014 As usual @NHRA has a delayed start on ESPN2 due to poor program scheduling by ESPN. @ESPN doesn't care about Drag Racing #NeedLiveNHRA
