Nothing good. Access to watch will be more limited, at least for a while. Less money would be flowing into college sports, causing more programs to be cut. There would be some pretty bad outcomes.
Hopefully it would have a positive ripple effect that brings the astronomical salaries back down to earth. Maybe then attending sporting events would become affordable again.

ESPN did this to themselves. They basically created an environment where they blatantly beg their talent to bitch about things, then are forced to deal with it when it makes people uncomfortable.
They're woking themselves to death and it's just fascinating to watch.

When you go all SJW as a company suddenly everyone feels oppressed.

I guess those long straight hair extensions are a part of her culture

Welcome to reality. People are sick of this victim mentality.

There's nowhere for me to turn on Maria Taylor. I've never understood why a 6'2 woman who weighs 100 pounds and wears a wig is supposed to be hot. ESPN is racist but she got the coveted Gameday job after Erin Andrews and Samantha Ponder? Damn skinheads

What a fricking joke. She went to one of the richest high schools in the southeast. Was a star volleyball and basketball player at her school where she was loved and enjoyed a full ride to UGA. Then gets a meteoric rise in her career. Man, she's had one rough life. So glad she's awakened.

She wears a wig to have a white Woman's hair
Sounds like a man
Loves to play the race card
What’s there to like?

I refuse to believe there’s anything except actual racism towards white people @ ESPN.

ESPN is an antiquated "middle-man". The LEAGUES own the content (i.e. the games). ESPN just pays for the rights to broadcast them. The NFL, NBA, etc could cut ESPN out of the equation and produce/broadcast their content (via streaming service) themselves and take all the ad revenue that came with it. Plus, there are other networks CBS, NBC, FOX that could pick up the slack. Also, you are seeing Amazon, Apple, Facebook, etc trying to get into the game. Other than their documentaries (some are good); and talk shows - Sportscenter, NFL live, etc, etc. (continuously becoming irrelevant in the age of immediate information/highlights because of the internet) ESPN doesn't produce anything.
In short, if ESPN went away other broadcast mediums would pick of the slack. It might take a little bit of time, but, ultimately, we wouldn't miss ESPN.

IMO, this would be a good thing right now. College sports need a total reboot.

Nothing like watching CNN/ESPN now and listening to Stephen A, Marcus Spears talk about BLM. I just saw this at work because I canceled my ESPN months ago. frick ESPN
