Scott Van Pelt
I don’t know that much about him........I’d watch links from TD when he’d mention Les or LSU. I always got the feeling he was one of the only sane ones up there.
If SVP is panicking, things at ESPN must be truly dire.

well that’s the other thing
He claims they’re not dying because his midnight ratings are up 20% but his ratings were and are shite
Espn just posted their worst MNF rating ever
And their company is built on subscriptions which as noted people are cancelling at over double the projected rate. They’ve had several rounds of high profile mass layoffs
so in addition to calling people stupid instead of wooing them back or getting them on his side of the fence, he calls them stupid, beyond hope and lies to them

This entire anti-ESPN drama is foolish beyond belief and created by snowflakes on the right.

WTF?
Espn made a decision to go after a different demographic and it backfired, how is this on the people who tuned ESPN out?

Espn backlash started with the left (deadspin)
I’m just not into sports programming on radio or tv period
ESPN is a massive hike percentage wise to my cable bill so snip snip...Hulu with live tv. Wouldn’t have been known if not for the publicity they get from pushing garbage which as it happens I do not like.
The free market and pc pussy culture. If people don’t like your product they won’t pay for it. Simple as that.
And if you tell people to get lost if they don’t like it, don’t cry about it when they follow your advice

This was a calculated gamble by ESPN and the fricking SJWs are taking up for big corporate America!

Should be named Scott Van Melt, amirite?

Seriously, I've had enough of ESPN's sports+politics model. It is absolutely possible to make a sports show that avoids politics altogether. Dan Patrick does 3 hours of sports every day without even getting close to entering the political arena. And, IIRC, he's actually married to some high-ranking CNN employee.
I would imagine DP is a left-of-center guy, but he can talk sports all day without going out of his way to intentionally piss off half of his audience. SVP should tune in over there occasionally.

I like Scott Van Pelt, but that is dilly of a straw man there.
Posted on 11/17/17 at 4:44 pm to Dale Murphy
Nah i dont blame van pelt, his job is on the line. Hes just lashing out because more layoffs are coming

It’s just so strange to hear politicians and businesses telling people they’re stupid and racist
Man, we get some crazy emails and posts that irritate us but we’ll break every bone in our body to keep them happy, off set whatever inconvenience, etc.
it’s pretty shocking to hear hillary calling potential voters or people whom her voters know, love and respect racist. It’s mind blowing to hear SVP tell current, former and potential viewers they’re stupid.
then when they’re rejected, antagonizing the consumer

By alienating some, they think they are appealing to others. The bad news is the pool is split up much different than they think.
But yeah... you would think it a horrible strategy. Van Pelt isnt attracting peiple who have left that way

Except for LSU and Saints games, I don’t watch ESPN.

I’m now not gonna have any cable TV at all and I’m gonna sit around at night and read books by candlelight like olden times because of that,’ that’s not happening. And if you did that, than you’re so dumb that I can’t even pray for you because you’re beyond hope.

You’re right. They have a very black and white view of things
Hillary voters for example may be a tentative somewhat firm voter but when you give it a 50/50 shot that that voters loved one is a bigot on every level and all around piece of shite, they might not vote for you. People are more nuanced and complex
Such a mind glowingly stupid thing for him to say and that’s not to mention the bad PR it might generate like The Hill stuff did
Ok trump is a white supremacist you say, well i voted for him so i suspect you have a similar opinion about me...so why do i want to watch your show then?
