Not sure if posted already. But this is pretty much what the board has been discussing for a while now with ESPN & their liberal bullshite. Hate to see some of the good people they have lose their jobs, but this was pretty inevitable.

They would be the first to criticize Trump for shutting down excess government offices.

screw ESPN, If it wasnt for LSU sports I would never watch it. I used to love college gameday as well as other college football related shows, but now I only turn it on espn when LSU is playing.

I hate to ruin your narrative, and I'm not even here to argue about whether or not they have become liberal, because I think they have.

However, this has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with people not buying cable subscriptions anymore. John Skipper should fire himself because he signed off on massive TV deals with various leagues and college conferences. They thought that live sports would keep people from cutting the cord and it turns out they were wrong.

I thought it was funny last week when the Predators swept the Chicago blackhawks in the first round. The mascot for the predators went on twitter and posted a picture of all the ESPN analysts that picked Chicago to win and said "@espn please stick to basketball and social issues because hockey isn't your thing. World Wide Leader in Sports my furry butt."

Mascot Call Out

I hope this does not affect their competitive Transgendered Dance Therapy competition or the three hours of post-competition social commentary their all-African American womyn panel gives afterward. You can't get that kind of insight on the NFL network, they are always talking about the actual games. I want to know who the victims are so I can feel shitty and apologize accordingly. ESPN gives me that moral guidance I can't get on my own out here among the unenlightened.

I guess the BLM hour with mike and jemelle didn't get them the results they were hoping for.

I watch sports as an escape from the shittiness of everyday life. Not to be reminded how everything is somehow my fault because I'm a white guy

I blame the "ref cam" they used during the Georgia G-Day game.

That and their forcing of politics into their sports coverage.

Maybe ESPN will start showing more sports.

And History Channel more history.

And Discovery Channel more nature docs.

etc.

More and more peole are dropping cable and some packages are allowing people to pick channels al la carte so this is also hurting them.
But things like their leftists polical views and the football players kneeling at the National Anthem isn't helping them either.
