re: ESPN laying off over 100 on air employees

1. ESPN has certainly become more political, and they have chosen progressive as their cause to promote

2. ESPN may have suffered some very minute backlash to this shift

3. this shift was due to ESPN suffering massive losses from cable cutters, to where they had to really latch onto the demos that still watched cable TV

4. the real bleeding ESPN is suffering from is contract with various CFB conferences, the NFL, and now the NBA. major expenses were increased (from these contracts) before ESPN fully realized what dreadful future they were facing (due to cord cutting)
