Effin' Annoying

I'm watching the Rockies-Pirates game on Root, formerly Fox Sports Rocky Mountain. Good ballgame, top of the 7th, tied at 3.
But I'm not enjoying the game as I should.
Root is running a constant scroll at the bottom of the screen of fans text messages. Not only is it distracting the messages are inane and worthless. Whoever came up with this idea should be ordered to stop it right now. If they keep it up they get fired.
Let me watch the bleeping game!
TV producers/directors can be so damn stupid.
