re: Rise and fall of ESPN

So the article seems to imply that the fall in revenue may be a result of the broader movement of consumers from cable to streaming services (unplugging), but you seem to think it's political. What's that based in?

I think there has been a double standard by ESPN on how they handle their commentators.. Kurt Schilling for example was fired, for his political tweets, yet others who have done similar things have only gotten slaps on wrist, because those latter tweets were in line with democrat or progressive positions. I also think they are collateral damage for fallout from NFL, which is also inconsistent on how they apply their "rules". Colin K and many others allowed "free speech" and kneel during national anthem with no comments from NFL, yet a team wants to honor police or some other first responders with stickers on helmets and they are told "no" by the league.
