However, this has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with people not buying cable subscriptions anymore.
Eh..I'd say it's a combination of both. Or to put it another way the former is leading to an increase in the latter.
Live sports was the one thing keeping many people on cable. If those same people no longer care much about watching live sports because of a perceived political bias, they have less regrets about cutting the cord.
Not to mention the big three streaming services (PS Vue, DirectTV NOW, and Sling TV) all have ESPN as an option. So people termed "cord cutters" may still actually be watching ESPN.

How does a perceived political bias make you care less about live sports? I literally can't remember the last time politics was mentioned when I was watching a live game.
