ESPNs “scorebug” strikes again with bad abbreviations

Related Topics: abbreviation

Earlier this week, I went on a bit of a rant about ESPN’s new graphics, including the “scorebug” (it’s not even a real scoreboard!), but I have to give them a little more grief today over their abbreviations last night. Instead of using “UK” for Kentucky, they went with “KENT,” which is the name of an actual college in England, and entirely too similar to Kent Sate. Making matters more annoying is they used “KAN” for Kansas, which is only three letters, not four, so it doesn’t match KENT and only three letters away from KANSAS.
