Yep, and they have already made their money off 35, 45, 55, 65 year old white guys.

the problem is the "poor, black, male" demo isn't exactly going to be major drivers for pricey advertising

i think ESPN is going to have to gut its staff every couple of years as it spirals down, breaking under the weight of the NFL/NBA deals

The second I get more choices in sports watching, I will take them.

I long for the day when I can wash my hands of ESPN once and for all.

The AOL analogy earlier is quite apt.

It doesn't matter how big you are, if your customer base all hates you, you're business is in danger.

Once the MLB deal runs out, the only thing that ESPN has that will keep large swaths of white conservative viewers is college football and the NFL (which are both seasonal).

Do white conservatives like NCAA basketball? I think less so now than in the 90's and 00's.
