"I have struggled for many years with a substance addiction. I have decided that the most important thing I can do right now is to take care of my problem," Skipper said in a statement.

Interesting timing, given that the ship is sinking anyway.

I won't laugh at a person for having a problem with substance abuse.

I do hope they can get someone in with the original vision for ESPN and turn it back into the Worldwide Leader in Sports (and nothing else).

Does this mean that they will start talking about sports again and not safety pins for SJW's?

Is the substance he's abusing cum? Based on ESPN the past few years I'm gonna guess cum.

If he is genuinely trying to address a problem in his life and improve himself for the betterment of he and his family,

I wish him all the best.

If I had single handedly destroyed a money making franchise like he did to ESPN I'd probably start using drugs, too.

Breaking: He’s going to be replaced by the Dynamic Duo, Jemele Hill and Colin Kaepernick.

No wonder why Kap hasn't found a new job yet, "Chief Woke Officer" @ ESPN here he comes!

I hope the man gets the help he needs.

ESPN is failing for two reasons.

1) Cord cutting and a lack of effective response to it.

2) They have moved more and more away from pure sports, and most people who like sports don't like this.
