I won't keep watching. Perhaps unless the Mets are on no and the occasional 30 for 30 no reason to watch until college football season kicks off./src on/I am sure the poor presenters and journalists who got axed today appreciate ESPNs commitment to Social Justice./src off/

Owned and operated by the same leftwing lowlifes that run Disney. Let them choke on their crap.

We need to bigger push for a la carte cable options.

Cable and satellite TV customers pay more than $9.00 per month for ESPN networks whether they watch them or not

This is in your face. Their writing here reminds me of the minutes of old Soviet party congresses in the USSR. The more meaningless words the better.

My wife and I just unconnected from Directv. We are at a place where we won’t watch anything at all rather than feminist and PC nonsense.

ESPN can drown in the own caca.

Politics is neither. Grandstanding is neither. What don't they understand?

Won't make any difference to me. I stopped watching sports when the industry continued to employ scumbag criminals and dope addicts as long as said scumbags performed on the field.

I'll watch again when it goes back to a time when athletes played in their free time from their regular jobs.

Last week I was watching the NHL playoffs. Whenever it was between periods or during a break they would cut to a panel lead by non athletic looking woman, a white guy and a black guy to discuss the game. I might be wrong, but based on percentages I doubt the woman or black guy were the most qualified experts on hockey. I suspect the panel was selected for diversity rather than expertise. I dont remember if this was on ESPN but it seems to be a trend.

It sounds like ESPN has switched to a nail gun to drive the last few nails in their coffin.

Good.

There is no denying that culture, sports and politics are fused together more today than at any time in recent memory...

It's also true that when large numbers of sports fans tune in to watch a game, they have no interest in listening to a lot of blather about politics and culture from the on air announcers. And they sure aren't interested in seeing or hearing protests and political statements from the players.

Keep it up and more sports will see declines in viewership experienced by the NFL last season.

the network’s only proper place is, indeed, in the athletics lane
