ESPN is dying.

Good. Let them burn.



We got better things to do with our free time. There is more to life than just watching ESPN... like chasing girls, martial arts training, reading books, traveling and so much more.

Len Elmore and Trent Dilfer were the noticeable ones I saw let go. I'm happy as a clam to see espn continue its descent down the toilet, but am a bit sad to see guys like this, who are extremely knowledgeable and articulate for the layman let go.

It continues to make me wonder what ESPNs endgame is. They currently do next to nothing in terms of real analysis and now they let their best (IMO) football analyst, top notch basketball commentator, and highly respected baseball reporter go, for what? More pandering to the least common denominator?

Continue digging your own grave ESPN

...
Most layoffs are almost always the people with the highest payroll and bonus amounts.

This is Troubleing, its like ESPN is kicking off the 20% of people that bring in the most value. . .usually people like this quit the company first, THEN the company begins it's slow decline to 0.

But is seems that espn is firing them instead. Its like the want to go out of business faster.

If anyone has stock in ESPN. . .sell it.

Many of the clips in this video are actually many years old. It shows that SJWSPN isn't really a new thing but they have ramped it up significantly in the last 2 years or so. The proverbial frog in the hot water has noticed the temperature has risen too much and is jumping out. ESPN is just SJW/feminist/left wing propaganda in between sports highlights and games.

Just some interesting ESPN news that I thought to post here, since it may partly explain why the whole network is circling the bowl:

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/espn-goes-p...13456.html

“Lawrence came to ESPN in 2015 under a two-year racial diversity fellowship program. The network decided not to hire full time her after she completed the fellowship this year. Lawrence said the decision was part of the network's retaliation against her for going to supervisors with claims of harassment. She also said she pushed back against rumors she and Buccigross, 51, were in a relationship.”

One of their “diversity” affirmative action interns is suing them for sexual harassment.

You know, we may survive this whole SJW thing after all, if they wind up eating each other.

[BigTony]

Quote:

ESPN took an unusual step Thursday night in publishing a series of text messages between "SportsCenter" anchor John Buccigross and former anchor candidate Adrienne Lawrence, who is pursuing a harassment action against the network.

The network said it released the texts to show Buccigross and Lawrence had developed a consensual friendship and that no harassment took place, contrary to what Lawrence is claiming. Lawrence's case is covered by The Boston Globe in an article that also depicts the network as being extremely hostile toward female employees.

Buccigross told the Globe he "considered Adrienne to be a friend" and that he was sorry "if anything I did or said offended Adrienne. It certainly wasn’t my intent.”

......The case is on track to become a federal lawsuit........

Possible revenge harassment lawsuit for a pump and dump?

[Kid Twist]

How long does this BS last? It's funny when it is SJW types that eat each other up but what has to happen for this ridiculous shit to stop? Economic collapse? LOL

ESPN President Quits Due To "Substance Addiction"

http://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/2180...-president

Quote:

Today I have resigned from my duties as President of ESPN. I have had a wonderful career at the Walt Disney Company and am grateful for the many opportunities and friendships. I owe a debt to many, but most profoundly Michael Lynton, George Bodenheimer and Bob Iger.

I have struggled for many years with a substance addiction. I have decided that the most important thing I can do right now is to take care of my problem.

I have disclosed that decision to the company, and we mutually agreed that it was appropriate that I resign. I will always appreciate the human understanding and warmth that Bob displayed here and always.

I come to this public disclosure with embarrassment, trepidation and a feeling of having let others I care about down.

As I deal with this issue and what it means to me and my family, I ask for appropriate privacy and a little understanding.

To my colleagues at ESPN, it has been a privilege. I take great pride in your accomplishments and have complete confidence in your collective ability to continue ESPN's success.

Yeah why not just resign quietly, instead of pulling the feminine sympathy card?

John Skipper is the level behind the curtain. I can't say what is left at ESPN now that he is gone. He had his fingers on everything.

Happy Hour (when PTI actually has Mike and Tony on and not these guest-host fags like Isola and Gutierrez) is the only thing E!SPIN is good for now anyway. I'd watch First Take again if they let Max and that token female "moderator" move to a different show and brought back Skip though. Watching SB and Stephen A. out-stupid one another was great entertainment, at least to me.

Personally I’m tired of having women “moderators” on NFL or other sports talking head shows.

They don’t contribute, they just annoy like a dying housefly buzzing around slowly.

I don’t think it’s any coincidence that ESPN is dying or that the NFL ratings are in the toilet.

It started with the pink socks and other nonsense to “raise awareness” for breast cancer. Then the domestic abuse campaign followed by the anthem kneeling etc.

It’s a turn off. People don’t watch sports to be preached to.

To paraphrase Bill Burr...who exactly do they think they are reaching?

[N°6]

It struck me yesterday watching British TV that most panels of sports pundits must have a female moderator in attendance. It follows the model of Red Army regiments having a political officer assigned to their dinners to ensure that conversation is politically orthodox.

Soon the only all male groups that young men will know about will be Masonic lodges and military cemeteries.

Unless they'll want to diversify those too. I can already see the headline "10 reasons why we need more females in military cemeteries and why that's a good thing"

I'm in my 30s now so I have good memories of watching ESPN with my father and later with friends in college. For the most part I just enjoyed watching the highlight reel of different sports games I missed. And the commentary before the games was from what I remember mostly just guys talking exclusively about sports. I can't recall any politics being discussed ever. I also don't remember any female commentators except for women who interviewed football players on the sideline.

I pretty much stopped watching ESPN around 2010. In that time, with the internet you could by pass ESPN and watch highlight reels of the game at your convenience on youtube. That aspect alone, has had to have caused tons of fans to stop watching ESPN over the years since you don't need to wait for a show and sit through commercials to watch the best parts of the game you missed. The declining ratings because of this must have caused them to change the programming/ kind of hosts for the worst by focusing on stuff less related to sport analysis. This change of strategy already has and will continue to backfire badly. Now boys growing up are not going to want to hear political commentary on a sports show and they will never grow into life long ESPN viewers. The older generation of men who would still watch ESPN, even despite having youtube for highlight clips, now won't want to be insulted by 30 year old loud mouth women who remind them of annoying HR coworkers.

Once ESPN loses viewers its unlikely they will come back even if they change directions with the content. After all there are a million options for digital entertainment now, it is a very hard to believe that the current shows/hosts on ESPN can retain viewers when guys have the option of video games, 300 cable channels, youtube, netflix/amazon, etc.

I don't want politics on the sports page. I don't want sports on the politics page. It's as simple as that.
