So why do you lay your political opinions on the rest of us?

Pitaro said. “My job is to provide clarity. I really believe that some of our talent was confused on what was expected of them. If you fast-forward to today, I don’t believe they are confused.”

Wouldn’t it be nice for every MSM organization to adopt the same philosophy?

That’s because every time they open their mouth, it’s some America hating commi drivel.

If he is serious about that he has not fired nearly enough people. Not nearly enough.

Yeah, NSSherlock

Why don’t you use your “commentators” to investigate and talk about corruption in sports and the dysfunctional lifestyles of professional athletes?

And leave our beloved President who’s working hizzazzov for you and the American people

PS...and concentrate on why cords are being cut and your subscriber base has been greatly diminished

PSS....wash your hands completely of that POS Keithie “Impotent” Olbermann

Congrats ESPN! You’re only about 10 years late in recognizing this and many former viewers won’t watch you any more and many will only watch live games on your network but nothing else. Millions and millions have cut the cord because they didn’t want to pay for your network anymore once you infected sports with your disgusting politics.

But hey, good job in finally getting it now. I’m sure the horses will appreciate you firmly shutting that barn door now that they’ve all bolted.

Way too late to the party. ESPN is for sporting events only, you can’t avoid that, but none of their talk shows for me.

ESPN is Disney.

Disney is no friend to conservatives.

If they broadcast sports and kept content to sports, I might actually watch.

But I doubt ESPN could execute that play - it would require something of them they cannot do They would have to run counter to Disney’s influence, stop demonstrating political correctness in all forms, refrain from proselytizing the leftist agenda, and most difficult for them - deliver content that targets an audience of normal people.

The odd thing was that ESPN forgot that it was Entertainment AND Sports network.

They used to show odd sports like lawn-tractor pulling, whitewater jet boat races, motorcycle hill climbing, and Lumber Jack contests. They were fun to watch.

It devolved into the NFL and leftist politics and I tuned out.
