Imagine letting fans vote on what game you want your network to air, even though there's a clear-cut winner for what the best game is and what game typically draws the best ratings. However, you don't vet the voting process, and you allow a vocal minority to skew the results heavily against the silent majority, leaving tons of NFL fans disappointed in the process. Well, in week 15 of the 1990 season (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_NFL_season), KMOV (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KMOV), the CBS affiliate in St. Louis, decided for some reason that this would be a good idea, and the result was an absolute catastrophe. This is the story behind one of the stupidest NFL broadcasting decisions in the history of CBS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_on_CBS).
