Default No EliteXC in Beaumont....

So I emailed the station with this....

I don't understand why you would sensor your programing on Saturday night (31 May 2008) to the EliteXC match up. This just seemed unamerican, We should have the right to view any nationally aired programing that CBS has to offer. Why was this blocked, then alternate programing put in its place? MMA is a sport like football, Would you block a football team just because you did not like the team, I think not. I am beginning to think this is a raciest tv station, I feel my civil rights have been violated!!! There should be some law against this, And I am going to contact my lawyer about this issue.

P.S.
I have also emailed CBS about this issue.


I know a little over dramatic... lol...
and I got this response back about 5 mins later....

Mr. Quesenberry,

My Name is Nicole Murray and I am the Weekend Anchor here at Channel 6, I would like to inform you that the Elite XC will air at midnight tonight, and during it's regular scheduled time next week.

If you have any question feel free to contact me.

What did they block? I only saw the last fight (kimbo vs. james) and didn't see anything unusual.

Few questions:

1: What exactly is "raceist" about them not showing a MMA fight?
2: What civil rights of yours were violated?
3: Why would you contact a lawyer? To Sue? If so, on what basis? What kind of tangible damages did the station directly cause you by not broadcasting the fight?
