Was SC6 the worst marketing idea ever?

Granted, I've never watched a single minute. That would seem to be a bad strategy putting two white hating people on that show.

I assume many don't watch. Including myself like I said.

But back to my point....how stupid was ESPN with this? Outright putting racist people as co-anchors?

What kind of plan is that? MAGA

The ratings say not at all.

And the ratings are the only thing that can answer this question in the OP.

I don't know how anybody can sit and watch that abortion of a sports show that is anything but about sports mostly.

If I know my tv was on ESPN before I turned it off and it's between 5-6 I wait til 6:01 to turn it on so they get no ratings from me

Not even in the top 1000.

And I hate SC6. But I don't think you realize just how many awful marketing ideas have been floated out there

Purely a product of Disney's liberal progressive agenda. ESPN is a pathetic joke other than the SEC Network.

have the ratings improved?

I remember the show had a decent debut in February, but by May they were down 20% year to date

Their ratings are comparable, they're not bad.

ESPN's ratings are down across the board because there simply isn't as many subscribers to cable.

But the SC6 ratings decreased compared to SC last year was on par with the ratings decreases of other ESPN shows from this year to last year.

So no, it's nowhere near the "worst marketing idea ever." There have been network shows that have been canceled after 1 episode, let's get a little perspective here.

ESPN will always have decent ratings for everyone. There are still people that literally only have cable because of ESPN. They leave it on for background noise every waking hour they're at home.

I seent it

It's on at the gym I go to and the restaurant I work at

I'd rather watch 2 girls 1 cup on replay.

Agreed, but I doubt this show lasts more than a year. Its not doing well enough to justify the cost.

I miss ESPN when it was just sports highlights and box scores with a few bits of talking head chit chat. That's what drove ESPN to the top.
