One thing, I never heard about this whole discussion is the fact that BASS and ESPN were under contract with Citgo and COULD NOT just stop there sponsorship with Citgo. I am sure the decision was made quite some time ago not to renew Citgo's contract and sponsorship. This is the same reason why ESPN and BASS have not released official notice of this decision. Come on People use your heads and dont be so critical of every little detail. How many people would have jumped the NFL for the same situtation. I bet not many of you. Why are fisherman such whiners about everything that happens in our sport. And we wonder why no other companies want to sponser our sport??? HMMMMMM?
