Cable cutting combined with massive fixed costs for content is the primary cause of ESPNs trouble. But the management has poured a ton of lubricant on the hill with their embrace of the Left rapidly increasing their decline.

How are people doing cable cutting yet staying on the internet?

Just shut up and:

Report the sports news.
Make the coffee.
Stay out of the bathroom.......

Easy peazy business lesson.

Same as with me staying away from CBC’s “Hockey Night in Canada”. I am fed up with Ron Maclean and the others there (not Don Cherry though) forever trying to ram their political correctness down people’s throats when all I want is just simply watching the game.

Nobody has mentioned this yet, but I think the recent hyper-growth in political sports talk can be traced back to when Bob Costas gave his anti-gun speech on Sunday Night Football in December 2012.

They seem to have been a crusade to destroy football and publicize the dozen or so transgender people who are “bravely trying to compete” in whatever sport they are trying to do. I’m just tired of hearing about it.

ESPN employees made 418 political donations to federal candidates in the 2016 election cycle.
Only 20 (5%) of those donations were to Republicans. (per FEC records)
ESPN = DNC

Back when Kaepernick “took the knee”. I tried to explain to my liberal coworker that sports was entertainment, not politics. He practically yelled that it was Kaepernick’s right to “make a statement.”. I said I suspected the audience was largely conservative and even if it was a 50/50 split a snowman should not needlessly insult half his audience. As with all similar conversations I had to change the subject for fear my coworker would stroke-out.

I was listening to some Boston sports radio people talking about the layoffs, and they beat all around the bush, talking about the programming is bad, the people are bad, blah blah blah blah.

Never said a word about the extreme left political advocacy they force feed their audience with.

Boy, talk about an elephant in the room.

ESPN is obviously going to focus on NFL, major college football and basketball, and the NBA...that's where they've sunk their money for the next decade on rights fees.

ESPN is not looking for analysis, that's why Ed Werder and others were let go. They want to fill the airtime with blondes and ex-players, both with hot sports opinions.

When you fire Andy Katz, but retain power conference homers like Jay Williams and Dan Dakich, it demonstrates how clueless their management is.

A lot of wounds, many self inflicted.

They didn't understand that parroting the BLM line would be toxic to their bottom line.

I watch games. I don’t watch the buildup, the hype or the after-analysis.
