Remember one of the Fox Sports radio personalities (Cowherd I think) talking about this earlier this year...
ESPN $5.6b Debacle: Football Semifinal Ratings down 32% from 2014
http://trib.al/7nDLuPZ

Aren't NFL ratings down pretty big as well? Personally, I'm sick of watching the refs controlling the fate of a lot of these games with their subjective calls. Goodell sucks and ESPN sucks, so I hope the ratings keep nosediving

I'd rather watch a Madden football game played between friends than an actual game nowadays.
Sad!

NFL numbers are declining mostly because of the political statements and the excessive rules and penalties thanks to Goodell (just my opinion) ESPN is taking a hit because they can't help injecting their left leaning politics from sports. No one (no, not even me) wants to hear political BS when trying to keep up with the sporting world.
-
Coach pretty much summed it up
:)

Basically, the NFL disrespected Americans by condoning disrespecting the flag and our anthem with letting these renegades do what they want. The forgot that they have a product to give the audience, and they quickly found out that some of the audience left them.
Myself, I won't watch the San Francisco 49ers play anymore because of their disrespect.
Like any business, they have a require that their players, coaches and staff honor. Swear, dance in the endzone, you get a fine. Disrespect the flag --- that is ok.
It has nothing to do with free speech, these players can do that on their off and private time, but when you represent a team, you have to think of the team, not yourself.

football sucks, also i think espns biased liberal approach has caught up to them, i find it funny they fogot 70%of america is white.
also collin"i suck big black cock" cappernick has hurt the nfl , and also those other sorry assholes that kneel before each game.
espn will become a money loser in the next few years, more and more peopel are declining to pay for that shitty channel

Putting games on NYE is kind of stupid. Most people are getting ready to have parties and go out, who the fuck wants to watch college football games?

I don't feel like the NFL disrespected me, a fan, because they "allowed" the players to sit or take a knee during the national anthem. I separate the league from the personal action and beliefs of certain players who are trying to maximize their potential audience for their political agenda. Really the NFL has no control over that and I'm sure if they tried to regulate it, it would quickly go to court where the NFL would lose. I do agree it seems contradictory that players are penalized for expressing themselves during the game like end zone dances, but at the end of the day the NFL only has certain areas where they can control players. Im sure Roger Goodell was ripping his hair out over not being able to do something about these players who abstained from standing during the national anthem. He knows its bad look for the league.
Personally, I think the over regulation of the game via referees or stupid penalties like end zone celebrations, Goodell over exerting his own powers into the game, games being taken overseas and most importantly lack of good QB play are much bigger concerns for the NFL. The game of football is not the same game it was in the early 90s when I started watching. I thought this was the worst NFL season I've seen in terms of a product that I can remember. I probably cut back my NFL viewing this season by 75-80% because of the aforementioned issues.

Also, I think a lot of individuals are moving away from cable/satellite. I know I have.
Television is a huge waste of money.
-
People want to blame Karpernicki but I think the horrible reffing has a lot to do with it. Just tired of watching a game, seeing big plays and refs who are obviously biased making bullshit calls that had nothing to do with the play turn back. The same refs will allow a receiver to get grabbed and and pulled down with no call but then the opposing team receiver barely gets touched with an overthrown ball and they call a 50 yard pass interference penalty. Lame shit.

So much for the narrative that his teammates consider him a "distraction" and don't support him :-\

This is the real reason. ESPN has been losing about 300,000 subscribers/month for a few years now. People are just tired of paying for cable packages that provide hundreds of channels they dont watch
The real embarrassment is ESPN's contract to air 1 Wildcard game each year .. they pay $100 million for ONE game that the NFL chooses, and it's not even exclusive rights! That game this year? The Raiders-Texans wildcard game, which is on the worst timeslot and featuring the worst playoff quarterback matchup we've seen in a long time
TV is an outdated medium and if cable companies don't smarten up real quick, they're going to be left in the dust

yamcha i am one of those, with internet, and a roku box, netflix, hulu, im set
also , for years cable companies forced people go pay for espn even if they didnt want to and espn gets more money than any basic cable station, times are changing.
many business people are predicting, with the large sums espn is tied into for the next several years paying for nfl, nba, mlb, they will end up losing money

Yes, I've read rumors of Disney wanting to dump them already.
Not a good outlook for ESPN

I believe ESPN paid more than NBC yet NBC gets a couple superbowls and gets to pick and choose their schedule for the last 6 weeks of the season where ESPN can get stuck with two shitty teams, NBC can cherry pick the top games of the week.

yeah rumor has it, disney wants to dump abc and espn, from what ive read, they are costing disney alot of money now

Yes, I have not watched the college playoffs since it is on ESPN. Not worth it to pay for it.

Can't wait the same happen to ice hockey here ::)
Humans are past the sports phase in evolution. We got rid of gladiators, we will get rid of sports.
-
plus there are just way more entertainment options as well
me i am a fan of fights, boxing was the first sport i took to as a kid, but it has gotten worst over the years, i do watch alot of mma, used to love the nba in the 90's
but now it is full of self righteous hood rats, dont really watch it anymore.
-
I also think the ghettofication of the NFL hurts. Just too many negroes that do stupid shit daily. As more whites walk away from the game due to worries about concussions and health it'll just be inner city kids playing football.

exactly , i sometimes wonder, if they do not realize a majority of the population in america is white , my brother was a huge nba fan, played highschool basketball, he refuses to watch it now. i remember me and him watching the nba playoffs every year together in the 80's and 90's times were different then, the players didnt act like ghetto thug hood rats.

When I see most NFL guys doing interviews I want nothing more than to reach through the screen and slap the shit out them. Odell Beckham, Michael Bennett, Richard Sherman, Cam Newton etc... All fucking annoy the shit out me. Can't watch the game since I hate most of the players these days. Growing up the blacks in the NFL used to be cool dudes. Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, Reggie White etc.... Now they're just annoying attention whores.

el what is really funny , is even the commentators try to be politcally correct, that old washed up has been boomer esiason was on the radio last week saying how the nfl is changing and raving about how great black quarter backs are, im sitting there thinking no one gives a fuck about what you have to say. hes saying this shit just so the nfl will pay him for his opinion. and yes they do act like assholes these days, you didnt see barry sanders doing ghetto dances when he made a touch down. he spoke proper english as well.
-
Jay Cutler is white though.
-
Yes look for Disney to dump ESPN if they can, they will keep ABC, that is just there showcase for Disney owned shows right now.
I work for Fox Sports, I see it first hand, all news outlets are losing money, Sports, business, tabloid etc.
There are too many ways besides tv to get information.

brian i really think that in another 10 to 15 years cable will be obsolete these younger kids will not pay for it, when they can stream everything , through there phone or a roku box , stick etc,
the amount of money espn has tied up in broadcast contracts is enormous. you got midlevel nba players making 20 million a year now.

Fuck Disney, ESPN and the NFL and the NBA. Professional athletics is ridiculous.
And again, fuck Disney. What a disgusting turd of a company its become.

That's 3.6million a year. That makes me think they'd be at zero after 9 months. ???

as a french watching nfl it's clear that the game turned to shit because of too much control of violence on the gridiron.
Dick Butkus is my favorite player, he was a linebacker for the bears during 60/70. Watching highlight of Butkus, where he was destroying everybody and watching nfl today and you can see how the game have been pussyfied.
James harrisson from steelers had to pay 250000 buck of penalities for "violence", and you can hear the commentator, when he hits, saying stuff like "the quarterback is defenseless" "there is no way he can see Harrisson coming to kick his ass" etc etc
-
Like stated already, the NFL's crap caught up to them. They have exploited the military for years with all the fighter jet fly overs, life feeds from soldiers in the middle east watching games, camo jerseys and apparel etc...I could go on. The NFL couldn't give two shits about the military. It's a business and all they care about is ratings which equals money. In this case, they probably gambled with allowing the kneeling during the national anthem, thinking it would pay off and it didn't. I haven't watched a complete football game in probably 7 or 8 years so maybe my take on it is way off.
In any case, I've always felt the NFL's days were numbered anyways due to the increased awareness of head injuries and the sharp increase in emphasis on safety. There is no way the league will ever go back to what it was decades ago in terms of toughness and brutality. As popular as it may have seemed as of lately, I believe it's a sport that is slowly dying. There's too many other sports for young men to do these days that don't involve the injury risks.

The older generation of HUUUUGE football fans will all eventually die of Liver disease or heart attacks in the near future. it will still stay popular in cities with jack shit else like a niche sport in about 15 years.
-
I am glad they penalize them for the dancing an over-zealous acting when they score a touchdown. Its annoying and should be removed from the game.
On the other hand, helmet to helmet contact should be allowed. They know the risks. That is why they get paid so much. Don't want to risk injury, don't play. Its funny, people talk about personal responsibility, yet want to blame the NFL when people get concussions from helmet to helmet. Again, you don't want a concussion, don't play. If you get a concussion from helmet to helmet, take responsibility for choosing to play the game.
The helmet to helmet thing is retarded. The NFL could take out the hard shell and make them wear NERF helmets and they'd be safer but they care more about the look and shiny helmets. Hope that whole fucking league implodes.

Don't know where my post went. ??? ???
Anyway, I agree with you. The only game I watch is the super bowl and I will most likely forgo watching it this year. I hear there is penalty for just about everything. ??? ???

The amount of commercials the NFL throws at the viewer just kills the whole experience of watching a football game on TV. Greedy fucking bastards and its a huge reason people are tuning out imop. And the fact that over half the games are almost unwatchable even for the extreme football fan. Thursday night Football is like watching paint dry with the match ups this year. Just Brutal. Also the whole WAR on the white man that the NFL/ESPN is helping try to push is just out of control when 70% of your viewers are white. ESPN tries to make just about every white man seem like a cuck at every opportunity. ESPN couldn't get enough of deflategate trying to bring down the GOAT quarterback as they try to elevate the retarded Afro mediocre players.

ESPN to fire more than 100 on-air employees today
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/26/17 | Robert Laurie
Posted on 4/26/2017, 11:32:45 AM by Sean_Anthony
The MSNBC of sports
ESPN used to be the crown jewel in the Disney Corporation’s portfolio. It was thought to be the network cable subscribers couldn’t - and wouldn’t - live without, so it was a perennial cash-cow. Even if the movies, toys, and theme parks underperformed, ESPN could be counted on to generate mountains of Mouse-moolah.
Maybe that’s why Keith Olbermann’s twice-former network thought infusing sports coverage with ever-increasing levels of left-wing political content was a good move. After all, if the ratings are bulletproof, why not let the biased, poorly-informed, political opinions fly?
-

Over the air HD is better than anything through a cable box.
It's completely uncompressed, resulting in a much higher picture quality.
Always use over the air HD if you have the option.

Bring back boyer coe and shawn ray workout show and watch their rating skyrock

Well, Krapernick is still unemployed. So, I guess this whole mess straightened itself out. :-\

espn is in for a very rough patch for the next several years, they have billions tied up in the nfl, nba, and mlb, and there subscribers keep dropping every month
they are shitty network that caters to liberals. espn- loves big black cock

Doesn't matter if you're politically left or right, people turn on sports to hear about SPORTS not politics. Like Kaepernick they kept pushing their left agenda and it's killing them. I like the documentaries on ESPN and the updates but again, keep the political crap out. I remember when Cowherd went to FOX Sports, he said the same thing. ESPN is very politically driven.

You nailed it. I know a lot of people that won't watch because of the disrespect of the flag and the anthem. I noticed the NFL started having those gigantic flags in so many games trying to balance out the protests. ESPN is owned by ABC and their politics are to the left of left.

The ESPN weekend radio shows are really bad. I can't remember who the host was (he was on like at 4 or 5pm on Sat or Sun, I can't remember) and it was just about 20 min of Trump bashing in a very hateful and malicious way and this was a sports show. Since then I took ESPN off my radio.

I think he had tom Jackson smoking with him at one point... when they would do "jacked up" or "c'mon man" together.. funny but, I liked espn when they had dan Patrick, stuart scott, and craig kilborn doing sportscenter... the most espn I ever watched was the during homerun race in the summer of 98... man that was awesome.

f you haven’t heard by now, ESPN is laying off 100 members of their journalist and on-air talent staff today. One of the biggest names to be let go so far include Ed Werder, who found out that his dog is dying about 45 minutes before he found out he was fired from ESPN after 17 years of reporting. Other big names include Trent Dilfer, Dana O’Neil, Jeremy Crabtree, and Danny Kanell (amongst others).
A quick perusal of Twitter will and you’ll see that one big name is noticeably missing from the list of fired ESPN on-air talent: Jemele Hill. People are becoming mean as hell out there, on an unacceptable level. Personally, I don’t know enough about Jemele’s body of work to understand why so many people hate her because I stopped watching ESPN several years ago when it became insufferable. I’ve read through this list of ‘Jemele Hill Controversies‘ including suspensions and reprimands for overstepping the boundaries, and times she didn’t get suspended when others might’ve. So I have some semblance of why people want to see her fired, but I’m by no means an expert on the situation.
Anyways, we’re here to talk about Twitter reaction to Jemele Hill not being fired, so here are some of the coldblooded, dickhead-ish reactions:
@jemelehill If someone makes shitty sandwiches, i'd be relieved if they get fired because i want to buy yummy sandwiches. You make shitty sandwiches.

ESPN took the safe route of firing the white guys who are low risk for a lawsuit. Firing a black female lesbian and you're looking at a 10 figure settlement. Companies try to do the "right thing" and hire black females or gays but then learn you can never fire them or else they'll sue your ass for millions.
-
This may have been mentioned earlier ... but maybe not ....
ESPN will be paying $7.3 billion in total rights fees in 2017.
$1.9 billion a year to the NFL for Monday Night Football,
$1.47 billion to the NBA, $700 million to Major
$225 million to the ACC,
$190 million to the Big Ten,
$120 million to the Big 12,
$125 million a year to the PAC 12,
and hundreds of millions more to the SEC.
But it is estimated that ESPN wil be losing 3,000,000 (plus)
subscribers each year for the next five years.
(The average number of lost subscribers over the past several years has been right at 3.5 million).
So the very conservative experts project that ESPN will continue to lose 3 million subscribers a year which is well below the rate that they are currently losing. T
Then the subscriber numbers would look like this over the next five years:
2017: 86 million subscriber
2018: 83 million subscribers
2019: 80 million subscribers
2020: 77 million subscribers
2021: 74 million subscribers
At 74 million subscribers ESPN would be bringing in just over $6.2 which is considerably less than the cost of the yearly rights fee of 7.3 billion.
What's gonna happen?!
I believe that the above describes the present problems within ESPN as well as some of the problems as mentioned by knowledgeable GetBigger.
-
And those are the people who draw $$$ advertisers. This is why i'm so happy ESPN = FAILING. They sided w the obama-liberal-BLM-ghetto-hoodrat-thugorama side of things - and told their tradiitional viewers to F off - so its a good thing this Thug station is going to be out of business soon.
there have been rumors that disney wants to dump it, plus espn made huge deals with the nba , nfl, and mlb, wich they cannot pay for at the rate they are going fuck espn and liberals

Going LibFag always = FAIL
Its a sure bet to assume once these libfag idiots go ghetto/lgbtqwhtf/liberal/commie whatever that bankruptcy looms

Im watching the NFL draft right now, the texans draft a black quarterback Deshaun Watson.
The espn broadcaster proceeds to say that this kids coach said that if anyone passes on this kid, they are like passing on micheal jordan
::)
The coach is a moron to say that, but the espn announcer loses all my attention and makes me want to shut the tv off for repeating it, this is football not basketball, if i gave 2 fucks about jordan i would be watching NBA basketball on TNT and not this shitty nfl draft show.
So what? When did jordan play Football? Is he some kind of legend in the NFL that he needs to be mentioned? Is there no other legendary quarterback in the history of the NFL other than michael jordan they can make the comparrison too????

There's only one race, human. However, fucktard afletes comes in all colors ob de rainblow. No one I know enjoys watching a herd of terds disguised as overpaid prim donnas that disrespect the flag, hate white people (even when they are white or half white themselves) and are in general, buttwipes. People like Wiggs for example. DEF2YT seems his mantra of late. You met the douche and said he was nice in person, but I don't want to meet or greet any fucktard BLM apologist asshole like Wiggs or his Tighty Whitey bandmate, SF1900.
The NFL is pretty much like this. Full of self righteous cuntlettes that play a game for BIG money all the while being assholes to the mostly white hand that pays their salary. White afletes be 2 blame 2. They are ghetto wimpathizers.
Why would any sane person, regardless of their skin color, pay to be insulted by the chimp-out crowd?
Television Cuckolds do just that.
-
Doesn't matter if you're politically left or right, people turn on sports to hear about SPORTS not politics. Like Kaepernick they kept pushing their left agenda and it's killing them. I like the documentaries on ESPN and the updates but again, keep the political crap out. I remember when Cowherd went to FOX Sports, he said the same thing. ESPN is very politically driven.

Yet at least 8-12 athletes for the past 3-4 years picked a white guy to train them for their NFL and Proday combines only to come back year after year to use him again for their OTA, Mini-camps and off-season prep. "The NFL is pretty much like this" how in the fuck do you know? On a personal note, it's been a damn good night with the draft with a bunch more rounds coming.

The passing on Jordan thing is a bullshit story. Portland already had two guards including Clyde Drexler. Their big weakness was center and teams at the time that were dominating had a solid big man. Jordan just didn't fit what they needed. If Bowie even turned out to be 1/2 the player they thought they could have been a solid team but sadly he wasn't that good.

WTF kind of name is "Keyshawn"? Why not name him "Keyhole" or "Keyspeaker" "KeyNote" or "Dumfuk" or "Dindu-No-phen"? Fucking retards that name their mongoloid chidrenz with fuktard names. I suppose Keyshawn thinks his surname is his "slave name".
Come to think of it, any shithead named "Keyshawn" probably thinks the word "surname" means he be a knight. 'n' sheit. Fuck the NFL, the NBA and MLB. And the Olympics, the SchmOelympics and all pro afleteses.

He prepared for his NFL combine with a very reputable training company that has probably 10-15% of the combine athletes plus well known agency representing him. Don't get me wrong because this trainer is one that i learn from but having that many athletes it's hard to get that personal attention when you train in large groups. That being said, he had a poor showing (his 40 time killed him) at the combine that dropped his stock. After that he didn't want to return to him to have him prep for his pro-day. That 40 time pretty much ruined any chances of him even making the draft. Long story short, one my guys knew and he came and worked with me for about 2-3 weeks preparing for his pro-day. He had a great proday showing, we managed to knock off about a little more than a 1/10th of a sec and wound up in that late 7th.
The adidas deal was done anyway just waiting to be signed when he got picked up. Had nothing to do with me, the training, etc. just that bad 40 at the NFL combine. He was already on the radar and projected late 5th- early 6th. Dave, there's so much money being thrown around it's ridiculous. I think that deal is something like over 3-4 years not sure tho.
Correction, he signed that deal after his pro-day not after he was picked in the draft. My mistake.

He was already on the radar and projected late 5th- early 6th. Dave, there's so much money being thrown around it's ridiculous. I think that deal is something like over 3-4 years not sure tho.
Correction, he signed that deal after his pro-day not after he was picked in the draft. My mistake.
That's interesting because most 7th round picks are camp bodies and they never make a team. Ive read shoe companies have a hard time investing in NFL players.
The thought is that most people don't recognize them with the helmet off. I was standing next to Gary Barnridge and Deangelo Williams at an expo and I had no idea who they were until someone asked me if I knew them afterward, and I'm a fan enough to know who each guy is and their respective stats. People are fans of the team and not the individual.
The article also stated its hard to market/make money off cross trainers and football cleats.

Sports is a compete waste of precious time. Useless entertainment... that's all it is. Funny how some people take it so serious... I laugh at them. Your time would be better spent doing something more constructive.

I don't doubt it. He didn't start or even play most of the season but stayed on the practice squad. He got traded late in the season and wound up starting 3-4 games. I think the endorsement $$$ lies between the companies and his agent negotiating it. I was standing right next to his agent at his proday and talking to him (just trying to make a connection to have him send his guys to us more than anything) and he sounds like he can BS pretty good, not that he was BSing..lol

I was listening to ESPN radio yesterday and there are two dudes and one chick. The chick was complaining about the NFL drafting two players known for either hitting a woman or accused of rape. And the self hating men starting saying how Men are vile and disgusting people and stupid etc.... I just changed the channel. Fuck you assholes.

Well, don't most teams stay away from these types of players, since they often cause trouble for the organization by bringing negative attention to the team? I just thought it was good PR to stay away from players who have a past criminal history, no matter what the criminal history his.
For the most part, football and other sports is a monumental waste of time, but I guess it brings enjoyment to people on Sunday afternoon.

ESPN’s Michael Smith: ‘If You Are a City in America, You Are a Racist City’
ESPN “SC6” co-host Michael Smith had a strong reaction Tuesday to a group of Boston Red Sox fans using racial slurs towards Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones Monday night with one fan throwing peanuts at him.
Gov. Charlie Baker (R-MA) and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh both apologized and shot down any notion that Boston is a racist city, but Smith refused to accept their apologies.
“If you are a city in America, you are a racist city,” Smith stated.
Partial transcript as follows:
Why does it take such an extreme act of obvious racism and bigotry to get people sickened and disgusted? You want to know why in 2017 this still happens? It’s because we don’t recognize racism when it’s in our face every day. It’s because the nuanced, subtle, beneath the surface racism every day is argued and shut down because we’re in a “post-racial society,” because we’re past that.
But let somebody say the n-word — “Oh, this is disgusting.” What about the people that think it every day, that act on it every day in policy and practice that are saying it, maybe not to players on the field, but are saying it to other patrons in the parks or when they go outside in the streets.
When you say this is not when we’re about, we’re better than this if you are a city in America, you are a racist city. That’s who we are as a society still and unless until people come to grips and get comfortable with discussing every day day-to-day racism and bigotry, not just the n-word or not just throwing a banana on the field or peanuts on the field, we [are going to] still spin our wheels when it comes to this conversation.

The Slow Death of ESPN, and other Sports Thoughts
Flopping Aces ^ | 05-03-17 | Brother Bob

After enjoying the three day festival known as the NFL Draft, as well as the excellent picks made by my beloved Philadelphia Eagles, this seemed like a great time to weigh in on a few sports-related topics.
The Conservasphere has been having a blast dancing on the soon-to be grave of ESPN. After a few years of increasingly obnoxious radical left wing politics being forced on its viewers, as opposed to sports reporting, ESPN is in an economic death spiral. The Nation's resident sports scold, David Zirin, dropped a surprisingly coherent summary:
As Ley and others have explained, these layoffs are about the staggering multi-billion dollar price tags that sports networks are paying for the rights fees to broadcast games because live sports are the last shows that people are willing to sit through commercials to watch. They are also related to changing viewing habits that has more people “cutting the cord” of cable and the high costs of having ESPN as part of our cable packages.
But naturally Zirin couldn't just give us a smart take before going full idiot:
If you see any article that tries to blame ESPN’s economic struggles on the “liberal” tilt of the network, use those to line your birdcage. First, it’s not true. Second, it seems to be a reaction to the fact that ESPN actually has a laudable commitment to diversity and putting women, black people, and people of color in a position to actually talk about sports. This sends the alt-right sewers of the Internet and their minions at publications like the National Review into fits of hysterics. It’s an unserious argument made by unserious people.
Yep, the ink was barely dry on a fair point when Zirin had to fall back to that tired Leftist cry of racism. If you want a really good analysis of ESPN's downfall, head over to The Federalist for Sean Davis' story.
I'm right there alongside the many who've gotten tired of ESPN. After their heyday of the 90s ESPN started becoming unwatchable in the early 2000s. There wasn't a 15 minute interval that could pass without either some Sportscaster host belting out his catchphrase, one of those awful sponsored segments (remember those "Here's to football" Coors Light segments?), or two random guys screaming at each other trying to mimic the two idiots who started it all, Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon on "Pardon the Interruption". I slowly watched ESPN less and less until we finally decided to cut the cord. Shortly before we did (although this did not influence or decision), ESPN hit a low point for me in September of 2014.
For some backdrop, my favorite day of the football season is opening day - the optimism, the return of football, the unofficial start of fall. On this day the Eagles would storm back from a 21-0 first half shutout to beat the Jaguars. Even better, our division rivals Giant and Redskins lost, and our most hated rivals, the Dallas Cowboys lost to the SF 49ers in a three-interception game by their Quarterback Tony Romo. I hadn't looked forward to the following day's Sportscenter like this in a while. Instead of the football bonanza, the hour of programming was dominated by... the domestic abuse story concerning Ravens running back Ray Rice. So instead of enjoying football highlights half of the episode featured some of ESPN's personalities in a round table with some feminists lecturing us on violence in sports. Not that the Rice story should have been ignored - it absolutely deserved reporting, but not a 30 minute screed that was guaranteed to appeal to absolutely nobody who is tuning in to catch sports highlights. Sound familiar?
To Zirin's credit, he did briefly lament at the top of his post that the people being laid off are journalists, not the on air personalities before becoming your typical leftist tirade. The smarter analysis came from the close of Davis' post, which sadly I doubt ESPN will follow:
"The most interesting aspect of the mass layoffs on Wednesday isn’t that they happened, it’s who the network targeted. Not the high-priced carnival barkers and the know-nothing loudmouths doing their best to make Rachel Maddow proud. Nope. ESPN targeted sports reporters. In an effort to cut some fat from its bottom line, ESPN exchanged a scalpel for a chainsaw, skipped the fat entirely, and went straight to cutting out muscle.
If ESPN wants to once again be the worldwide leader in sports, it should refocus on covering sports, which used to be a refuge from politics and the news."
On to the next topic, we stay with Zirin. who back in March was calling for the players to go on strike and not play in the Final Four games of the tournament:
In 2016, ESPN college basketball broadcaster and longtime NCAA critic Jay Bilas dropped a bomb on a March Madness telecast when he said:
I think it’s almost offensive for those that are paid and making millions to tell those that are unpaid and the engine generating millions that they are blessed is equally laughable and kinda sad. Because [a boycott of the Final Four] has been discussed among players.
If this sounds vaguely familiar to regular readers it's because I addressed this same issue two years ago when Zirin made a similar demand of Duke's Coach K. drop everything, turn his back on his team and carry the flag for the Radical Left's outrage of the day. But regarding players unionizing, I came out in full support of this idea two years ago, If college athletes were to unionize I think they would get more of a practical education than anything they could possibly learn in those re-education camps passing for classrooms. As proof of the power of athletes Zirin cites the "success" of the University of Missouri's football team:
Anyone who doubts the economic power of young athletes need only look back to 2015 when Mizzou’s football team refused to play in protest of the school administration’s inaction in the face of on-campus racism. The university faced a $1 million fine and the president was gone within a week.
Some triumph. As I pointed out when this went down, in the era of online profiles every member of the football team is going to have a hard time finding work after graduation. And after my post went up Missouri became even more of a racial SJW hornet's nest, and as a result enrollment has plummeted while alumni donations shriveled. The beauty of being a Leftist is not giving a damn about who gets hurt by your ideas!
How about Colin Kaepernick? Last year I threw in my two cents on how the Radical Left praised his kneeling during the National Anthem, while ignoring a retired NFL player of far greater character. Apparently now Kaep is out of work not because of his actions but because of a conspiracy against the former 49ers quarterback! According to WaPo's Kevin Blackstone:

Brother Bob at floppingaces? Holy fuck. You morons can cry fake news all day but then follow these trash sites like gospel. Fucking moron.
I do agree that ESPN has gone full black and because of that is going to die a quicker death.

I don't think blacks realize that half this country hates them and would gladly return to the 1800's if they could.
they probably do and that's probably the reason they don't care for the shty flag or anthem.

NFL numbers are declining mostly because of the political statements and the excessive rules and penalties thanks to Goodell (just my opinion) ESPN is taking a hit because they can't help injecting their left leaning politics from sports. No one (no, not even me) wants to hear political BS when trying to keep up with the sporting world.
I disagree... They suck because they just suck period. Gone are the glory days of 2003-2008 ish when you actually would want to watch SportsCenter. They broadcasters were amazing, they actually talked sports, and they offered great analysis. Now everyone and their mother has some sort of show, which is fine, but the shit they talk about is nonesense. I remember one time, their intro for the next section was that Steven A. Smith is going to share his favorite lasagna recipe or some shit like that... seriously???
i mean we're talking about sports, and at some point, the scalability hits a point of diminishing return, especially when they talk about the same few sports over and over again, like there isnt that much going on to have 10-12 hours of Live broadcasting shows across 3-4 or however many channels they have, there just really isnt that much to talk about on a daily basis, especially when they mostly focus on American sports (the big 4, NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL).
The analysts suck, nowadays its not about analysis and breakdown, its mostly about personal anecdotes , thats what i think is the problem, but then again i havent had cable TV for the last 6 years, i'll just stream whatever i want to watch

I was watching PTI before and left the TV on, took a shit, came back and was wondering what the fuck was on the tube and realized it was this SC6 shit. How the fuck does ESPN think this is a good thing?
