Not sure if posted already. But this is pretty much what the board has been discussing for a while now with ESPN & their liberal bullshite. Hate to see some of the good people they have lose their jobs, but this was pretty inevitable.
this has mostly to do with people cutting the cord, and not their liberal bullshite.

Who would have thought that a company founded and housed in Connecticut would be liberal?

Do they have enough white people left to cover that?

My guess is that the cable providers offered them a sweetheart deal vs them going the a la carte option like HBO did.
They chose networks and their bundles over getting subscribers independently and it cost them.
Good, I can get behind the free market at work.

Millennials cant afford cars, houses or cable TV. That's why they are riding bikes, living in small apartments (or at their parents' house) and eschewing cable.
Remember, they are the first generation in American history to digress economically from their parents.

These layoffs have been known for quite some time.

This seems more related to the absurd bubble in broadcast rights that places from Deadspin to the Ringer to (when it existed) Grantland wrote about.
Oh and the incredibly dumb talking heads business strategy that FS1 somehow doubled down on with even hotter takes.

Should've let Stephen A Smith go and used his salary to keep the actual reporters

I sat in on a discussion forum at the NAB Expo in Vegas concerning new technologies allowing sporting events to be broadcast without any need for a cameraman. The cameras use algorithms and player recognition software to to follow the plays, produce stats and provide cut aways. All that's needed is a director, who can be anywhere in the world. The play by play can be, too.

On the Simmons thing, I think its pretty obvious ESPN made a huge mistake- even though his columns are stale at times he was by far their most listened to podcaster and his behind the scenes skills carried their website and the non-live sports parts of the network- 30 for 30, all the Grantland writers, etc.

Good.
ESPN became an enemy to the American people the moment they decided to put false political propaganda before sports.

But Kaitlin Jenner was hero of the year....

Middle America wants to pop a beer and listen to sports talk, they don't want to be lectured about why Caitlyn Jenner is a hero, Michael Sam is the new Jackie Robinson of sports, and Colin Kaepernick is the Rosa Parks of football. ESPN made the mistake of trying to make liberal social media losers happy and as a result lost millions of viewers.
