People won't accept that because they want to think so badly that them being too liberal is costing them big bucks but its not. It's not politics, its math, you can see it for yourself if you actually try.
That's literally what I said. Maybe you didn't mean to attribute that to me earlier, but this is what I said. The drop in ratings for the OC shows is obviously causing a loss in ad revenue, but it does not have nearly the affect that losing the ad revenue on live sports does. Especially with the growing contracts.
The SJW (not liberal) stuff is playing a part in the demise, but it's small in comparison for ESPNs inability to adapt to a changing landscape and overpaying for league rights. I agree that people are overstating the SJW bent on ESPNs demise, but IMO it's going to get to the point that people just associate ESPN with their personalities like Hill that they don't like and they'll stop watching the random football game or baseball game just because it's sports because they'll actively avoid ESPN.

Sorry, yeah I think we're on the same page. Lot's of comments coming fast, lost track of who was saying what.
I agree with everything you said except that last part about random games. That still includes paying for the channel to watch the big games so I don't think that'll make a difference either.
