So if you’re now changing the bar to “moments people care about” why are any WNBA players featured?

This is certainly an impressive demonstration of crawfishing and moving the goalposts. This has been his trajectory:

Sports moments on espn

Major golf championships on espn

People are unnecessarily mad about this

Durant being on there is ok in a Jersey for a team he’s never played on

Iconic moments on espn but it has to be nighttime/primetime

Announcers are ok as long as they are espn

Back ti golf only being major coverage

Singular iconic moments from great players are ok

College football is way underrepresented but nobody can get mad about it

It’s only a tweet, so what

College football has other promos so this is ok that they aren’t really featured

It’s not important so espn took it down and tweets don’t mean anything

I was channel surfing a few weeks ago and they were showing a contest of 2 guys tossing a football onto the roof of a house trying to hit a roof vent.

Sir, this is r/MoreSports - I’m gonna need you to check in with one of our OT Moderates before sharing your opinion about any overt virtue signaling, DEI practices, and/or the LBTQLMNOP+ bullshite being forced into sports.

I thought that was pretty cool to be honest. Definitely looking for somewhere in my neighborhood to play.

Yes, from the driving force in sports media. A tweet from the corporation that owns the rights to NFL network, entire bowl games, etc.

It’s laughable how they continue to be absolutely tone deaf on what their viewing audience wants and consumes.

Sometimes I can’t believe the Disney Company still exists. How can they build a machine, with assets worth as much as ESPN has, and be able to dump money into acquiring all of these sports rights. Then proceed to run the company in this outrageously cobbled together joke of a way, and still exist.

Arch Manning. 1 career start. Icon.


This is absolutely, CRINGEWORTHY!! He may end up being great, but to say he is an icon, all because of his last name, is so ESPN

They’re funded by over 30 members of the WEF, they’re not going to run out of money.

Brian fricking Windhorst being front and center was also hilarious


Windy's rise to fame fascinates me, almost as much as Kendrick Perkins's confuses me.
