"Consumer habits are evolving rapidly, and this requires ESPN to evolve as well."

---Does this mean they'll start to focus on what their 90% Joe Six Pack audience wants?
Or will they continue to push the SJW agenda?

Great my mom has been subscribing me to this magazine since I was in HS, 15 years ago. The only issues that catch my interest are the CFB and NFL preview. The rest go in the recycle bin.

I enjoy a good magazine but Espn has an awful layout. SI > Espn.

I'm subscribed to it, too. Mine just go to my wife's office for patients to read while waiting.

While I think the media uproar of social justice over the last several years is beyond stupid, I still tell individuals who rant and rave about to me does it really affect you on a day to day basis? There’s always going to be outrage on either side, and it’s been happening forever.

Having said that, if you’ve read one issue of that magazine within the last few years, you’d be hard pressed to find one article that is solely about sports without racial injustice brought into it

It's called confirmation bias. You're going to find it if you're looking for it.

The guy who originally commented probably watches First Take every day to find "racism." 45 minutes in, SAS says something about white people and he screams "I KNEW IT!" and comes to tattle on him on the MSB.

But how will I get my monthly, bloated, self-absorbed, rambling, "romantic," and reflective Wright Thompson pieces anymore!?!

Oh you rats, ESPN!

Apparently, this pops up when you put in "ESPN Magazine LSU". I wonder which users are who?

Where am I supposed to get in depth stories about rapper's clothing lines and hundreds of Sprite ads now?

I clicked on a link to find out more about LSU recruiting in 2007. Somehow it was a link to subscribe to ESPN the Magazine. Been too lazy to cancel the subscription. Never opened one issue.

That credit card info step is tricky.

I remember the issue with Jevon Kearse’s hands taking up both pages. “Biggest hands in the NFL!”
