Having cut the cord three years ago, I’m glad to have played my small part in this.
ESPN is the worst thing that ever happened to sports.
Not to wish anything bad on anyone but I wouldnt be sad to see every ESPN employee lose their job, have their homes foreclosed and have their children sold to mussie slavers......
Looks like cable has become so yesterday. The internet has pretty much has taken over.
I go to ESPN in order to see score updates and NFL standings. Perhaps 2 or 3 clicks a week for the duration of the NFL season.
I do not know what channel they are on my TV lineup.
ESPN has turned into a queer promoting, Muslim loving, pack of degenerates. I love it when boycotts prove their worth.
I hear you.
ME-TV, TCM, and BBCA. I can get ME over the air and could make it without the other two but I like to keep up on Doctor Who.
My wife is the one who keeps the sports tuned in all the time. But she pays the cable bill. I try to be elsewhere during stupid sports is on. I don’t go to ballgames, and I tune out sports imams on the radio.
You’re not my wife by chance?
I couldn’t resist the lame attempt at humor. Forgive me but your post sounds like my home life.
I’ve started calling them “sports imams”. I think it’s funny. My wife doesn’t.
One per state.
ESPN was left wing before it was “cool”
ESPN should have been told by the parent company to knock off the political stunts as soon as it started. Ya get stupid, ya lose viewers.
Boomer would be a good place to start. Can’t stand him. Come on ESPN, you can do it. You could go all the way!
Is there some way I can still get their football, If I drop them?
Other than that, I have no desire at all to be a subscriber to the boys in pink.
The twits at ESPN were joyful at the inauguration of Obama. Half of their fans, if not more, reacted with revulsion, and still feel that way. Bad move on ESPN’s part.
My daughter and her three room mates at college have no cable yet watch all the TV programs they love via the internet.
Cable/DirecTV(Sat TV) have no bearing on their lives whatsoever. It is just not on their radar for any reason. They are Youtube and Netflix and Hulu And Amazon etc. watchers.
Unless something drastic changes in the next 5 years or so most FReepers will live to see the end of cable/sat TV as we know it.
I also have trouble finding which game is on which channel, especially College football. If you go to ESPN online, , they erase which network it’s on as soon as the game starts (Unless it’s on ESPN’s family) . Maybe the official NCAA site would be better for checking scores,
The other problem is that if you want to watch the end of a game and they have gone over their scheduled time slot, its listing is no longer available on the channel guide, so you have to go one-by-one through the channels and hope you stumble across it before the grand finale.This is especially bad now because almost all the games are loaded bumper-to-bumper, so the game on channel X is now on channel Y, until the other game is over, after which it will be on channel X beginning from the end of the 1st period, so the DVR is now totally confused.
You are so right about can’t watch baseball because the guys in charge of scheduling can’t figure out how to communicate to the world.

Look up in the British SKY if you want SPORTS.
