ESPN hires a blonde bimbo in Sam Ponder


Sam is a lot of things, but bimbo is not one of them.

No, it isn't. ESPN is roughly 80% white males, so having roughly the same ratio in the layoffs should be expected.

Sorry to interrupt the circle jerk.

I think you might be missing a few things

Well it sounds like they are taking their time calling people to let them know they are out, which in turn is leading to this all coming out gradually as a spectacle.

Or people just aren't immediately putting it on Twitter.

His trolling will probably get him a solo radio show too.


He would be awful with a solo radio show and he has even said as much on R&K.

So if it were exactly at 80% you'd be ok with it?

Their direction for their content is an entirely different discussion. It is not what caused them to become a massively bloated company in a dying industry

Jay Crawford was good RIP Cold Pizza. Yet ANOTHER Caucasian bites the dust. Edward Aschoff should be canned but we know he won't

Just bad timing. Gottlieb's show just launched and he and Kanell would be the wonder twins.

What do those numbers have to do with the demographics of ESPNs employees?

Kanell was trolling the SEC before it was cool. Sad to see him go

Sports media is 90% males. It is also 90% white. Of the people being revealed, the numbers are holding pretty close to that so far.
