ESPN has been losing 7,000 subscribers per day in the month of September

In a month — September — when sports cable channels typically roll up new subscribers thanks to the return of football season, ESPN lost nearly 7,000 subscribers a day, shedding 203,000 households in September to fall to 87,523,000 subscribers, the lowest number of ESPN subscribers in over a decade, and a decline from over 100 million subscribers just over five years ago.
At the same time, alarmingly for ESPN, competing sports networks added subscribers, meaning this attrition of ESPN subscribers wasn’t simply a function of reduced demand for cable and satellite overall. NBC Sports Network added 160,000 subscribers and FS1 added 549.000 subscribers, putting NBCSN and FS1 narrowly behind ESPN in total households, 85,246,000 for NBCSN and 85,297, 000 for FS1 according to Nielsen estimates.

All cord cutting, total coincidence that it coincides with the NFL nonsense.

Unfortunately, there will be black athletes on each network. We cannot run from the issue. Sorry

Obviously cord-cutting is a factor, but I absolutely believe that people are having an easier time making the decision to cord-cut when they are giving up such a shite product.

If that were the case the NBA and the NFL would have been bankrupt two decades ago. Nice try though. Virtually no one gives a frick what color the players are. We just want to watch sports. Not a fricking SJW protest before, during and after the game.

they are slowing getting onto more cable sports packages and (to a greater degree) digital streaming packages that ESPN is already on.
it's not like many people are going out of their way to get FS1 and NBCSN.
the real story is cable companies are bleeding subscribers like crazy which is why they are lobbying hard for mergers and to have free reign on charging whatever they want for internet.
ESPN is mere a pawn in a much bigger media game.

Men aged 18 to 50, the key demo, watched ESPN non-stop 20 years ago for scores and highlights, due in part to the rise of fantasy leagues. Now you don't need them for that, and they've largely failed with the idiotic talk shows.
Pretty simple really. Although some will claim politics and such.

Never have I seen a business double-down on a losing model for political reasons.
They keep adding content the people have largely rejected...they must be rolling in dough to be able to give the middle finger to their core audience...(conservative white males 18-45 are the largest demographic for liking and watching way too much sports; liberal SJW males and females aren't consuming sports like the above demo.)
