IE Not Displaying ESPN.com Embedded Video

ESPN has been getting 7-17 million simultaneous hits on there web streaming depending on the game, so maybe they just needed more capacity. Disney's "Go" IT Team is based here in Seattle and the major datacenter is here in downtown Seattle under the Westin Hotel (actually there are a bunch of datacenters under the Westin as the West Coast OC48 Connection Comes into the Westin).

What's really interesting is that Microsoft touted the new ESPN FC website as a great example of what could be achieved with Internet Explorer 11 and Windows 8.1 just 2 weeks ago. Now here it is unable to fulfill it's expected function during peak use.

I don't think the capacity issue is Microsoft's fault unless GO has migrated the site to Azure....
