How can we catch LSU games on ESPN by cutting the cord and without subscribing to satellite or cable?


You don't have satellite? And people make fun of my flip phone.

You're fooling yourself if you don't think ESPN's left-wing political agenda isn't playing a major role in all of this.



It is playing a role just not as big of one as people would like to think, when compared to cord cutting and broadcast rights overpayemnt.

Looks like ESPN forgot that poetry is not a sport.
You haven't heard of Extreme Prose? I think it's on ESPN 8 "The Ocho"

I'd be curious as to how much advertising money espn is losing from tv viewership and website clicks. Sure, they may be getting dollars from cable subscriptions but if politics is playing any part in this the advertising money is probably the place to look.

Back in Feb. Disney reported that revenue was down 4% for ESPN in part due to a decrease in advertising revenue.

ESPN's ratings were down 7% from a year ago and ESPN2's ratings were down 34%

FS1 saw a rise in ratings by 34%.

One is not necessarily unrelated to the other. Many guys kept cable almost exclusively for ESPN and related channels. With their insufferable coverage of politics instead of sports, many can now swallow the idea of dumping cable.
