Stephen A Smith says more layoffs are coming to ESPN

As part of a corporate restructuring, parent Disney is slashing 7,000 jobs and $5.5 billion in costs. The layoffs could amount to 3% of Disney’s global workforce.
quote:
Stephen A. Smith alluded to the network’s precarious situation on his “K[no]w Mercy” podcast. “Have you all been paying attention to the business landscape? Disney itself announced that over 7,000 employees are going to be let go,” Smith said. “ESPN is under the Disney umbrella. They’re going to have cuts coming. “Hell, for all I know, I might be one of them. Now, I doubt that. But it’s possible. No one knows.”
quote:
ESPN’s footprint has been reduced to less than 75 million U.S. homes from 100 million in 2011, and the network has suffered several layoffs over the last decade.
quote:Shocker of the century. I do wonder which CFB personalities they will get rid of.
“I don’t think it will be as bad as 2017. But it might be bad,” said one source.

I would say I'd be pulling for Rinaldi to get the axe, but thankfully that Debbie Downer took his "let's ruin college football Saturday mornings for everyone" schtick to another network.

Sportscenter was part of the daily routine of pretty much every guy I knew, as well as any female that like sports. No politics, just sports. It was great.
I miss the days when politics didn't infect and ruin everything.

People tune in to ESPN for sports. Not for political commentary, not for news on Transgender athletes, not to hear how racist the U.S. is.
Some ignore it and some change the fricking channel. ESPN = slow learner.

With that bloated intumescent salary, for him have the gall, the pomposity to bloviate on such subject matter is an affront to ESPN employees all over the world.

on 3/20/23 at 3:57 pm to red sox fan 13There’s a real lack of creativity that’s killing ESPN right now. First Take is hot takes. Get Up is hot takes. Around the Horn, PTI, it’s all the same.
They have a show that’s just called Keyshawn, JWill and Max. If you’re a casual sports fan looking for something to watch why the hell would you ever click on that? Who the frick are they?

Nobody needs sports center in this day and time. Been getting sports highlights and updates on my phone for over 20 years. Also, unless you are a college fottbal/basketball fan, no need to watch ESPN. Well, maybe if you like corn hole or slam ball.
