I blocked all espn on my dish network. Nothing worthwhile.

Too bad I can't boycott ESPN any more. I got rid of cable last December and I don't miss it a bit.

I'm 15 miles from DC in a valley and on a good day I can get over 80 channels of free crap from my TV antenna. Netflix and Hulu fill in the Gaps.

I did not realize that had THAT many on air faces.

But then again, I only watch basketball on ESPN. And only Celtics Basketball, so my exposure is minimal.

I DID know a lot of contractors for ESPN. At one time their gigs were pretty decent. And they were frequent.

Unless it is an SEC football game or UK basketball game ESPN has been persona-non-grate at my house for years. Bunch of America hating radical leftist.

In case anyone is still in doubt, even one of ESPN’s anchors admitted the ratings decrease and layoffs was largely because of it pushing politics:
