Except most of these will land somewhere else and possibly get paid more in the process. Not our fault that ESPN has pandered to the SJW type and pushed social agendas on the airways when most people want sports talk and highlights. The older ones will probably get a nice parachute and just retire.

Stop watching if their "pushed social agenda" makes you uncomfortable.

I have stopped. That's why I'm ready for them to get rolled so I can watch again.

Then why start a thread about this at 11pm if you've "stopped watching".

Jemele Hill, Stephen A Smith, Lebatard.

They are all untouchable for ESPN.

None of them are going anywhere

Unless you replace her with another black woman that actually looks good. I can handle what she says because everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just don't like it when an ugly woman has an opinion I don't agree with. I totally tune out.

A man can put up with an annoying hot woman, but he will put an annoying ugly mule face to the curb with a quickness if she's ugly as sin.

Dude, the people you "want" fired are going nowhere. SC6, First Take, Greenberg and Golic are going nowhere. The people that's getting cut are the people you see on the 7-10 Sportscenters. People like Zubin Mahenti, Doug Kazarian, Jade McCarthy, etc.

I could make a list of probably 25 people I'd like to see get the ax. I'll start with 5:

- Jemele Hill
- Michael Smith
- Keith Law (this guy is the biggest smug, elitist prick out there)
- Field Yates
- Max Kellerman

So are lebatard and his crew in trouble? Mike Ryan left the studio last week and had people sending him prayers on Twitter.

No. They have the most downloaded podcast on ESPN.

Mike Ryan is back this week.

He was back last week. I just thought the timing was odd since it coincided with the news breaking that ESPN was about to undergo major cuts.

Meh. They are terrible. Look at all the layoffs that had to happen because ESPN wanted to force this show down people's throats.
