May the trend continue. Unfortunately plenty of ‘conservatives’ seem determined to keep tithing to the libs via their cable dish bill. I guess it’s practice for the Jizya. Which they will embrace as well. They seem to crave funding their own demise.

Well Football is more important than their country I suppose...

To a great many, you last sentence is very true.

If I dare blaspheme the holy ball, holy ball player, holy ball coach or some broadcast sports imam, I get some weird looks and some disgust.

the new buzzword is “curated tv”. IOW tv which is selected just for you. (ioow marketing BS)

IGER said he expects espn to go unbundled. they just want to ensure profits.

They can do it if they dump the political BS of the talking heads.

The upshot of this is that ESPN could probably gain back some of those lost viewers if the cable companies would/could unbundle (no idea of technical issues here, if any). The a la carte choice to spend that $6 for the sports coverage they desire and reject the MTV, Comedy Central, etc. would bring some back. ESPN is probably the only reason I didn’t go all OTA and AppleTV/ROKU/Amazon/Netflix etc. in a recent home technology upgrade.

The douchebag contingent on late night network TV would be significantly reduced had we not all been contributing to Comedy Central for the comedy “stylings” of Stephen Colbert.

I pulled cable completely in 2012. My reasons were:

1. The overall quality of cable TV had prummetted to new lows.

2. It was costing me TIME (hours in the evening) that I would catch myself watching reruns of Pawn Stars and American Pickers, etc.

3. I realized that my cable bill (basic at $60/month) was subsidizing channels I don’t watch and don’t even support (MSNBC, CNN, Bravo, Lifetime, etc., etc., etc.)

It was cold turkey for a while but I did it. And I have more free time in the evenings and I can watch things (of my own choosing) on the internet.

See what happens when WE people control things....WE don't want to pay all that money, so WE don't have cable...

Same thing with Sears, Target, Wal-Mart....don't spend money there, they will straighten up...hit them in their wallets, it works every time...

Don't watch FNN, CNN, any of those, hummm what do you know, they are gone....or the cable companies tell them to go to heck, because THEY are losing money...

Don't like a certain news paper, if there still any out there, don't pay for it, if its on the internet, don't go there (cookies tract you)...they start hurting...

Maybe if ESPN wouleyd reduce the number of talkers on various sporting events, they could lessen the pinch. Monday Night Football doesn’t need 7 analysts.

It’s already happening. There are already places like Dearbornistan where it’s happening daily. Is it widespread? Yes. In every city muzzies are doing defacto no go areas. It’s still low level sure. But it’s well in progress.

All things have a beginning. And at the beginning someone always says it cannot happen ‘here’. Then it does. It’s a hard thing to accept but it is there regardless.

Now you understand why Americans have “armed up”, so as to keep the Islamofacists at bay.

Before this thread ends I’ll be attacked and told I’m full of crap. Even though a couple have already agreed with it.

Because they DO love their sports/entertainment more than their country and the impact their cash has on funding liberals.

Example: People here had fits over Bruce Genders award. Much screaming on the downfall of America ensued.

How many screamers canceled their cable? How many still tune into ESPN? So they continue funding ESPN to push trannies, homos and Obamacare on PURPOSE. WILLINGLY AND KNOWINGLY.

I always did understand. I just know -—most-— will run like scared kids when faced with jihad or jackboots directly. It’s easy to talk. Not so easy to do mortal violence.

Why don’t they just sell more advertisement time to DraftKings and FanDuel? Their commercials are NEVER on.

EXACTLY!!

They think we have no other choices, what are we gonna do.....

Well I will tell you life dealt me a card that changed my situation and for the past 2 years I have learned a lot personally about how much STUFF someone really needs, and how much is stimulated by a Visual Image on TV ...Visuals bypass all Logic BTW...

Too Much Stuff

Are you spending all your life buying what you need?
Spending all your money are we talking about greed
Just buying lot’s more stuff
When will you have enough?

If you live in a house with 20 bed rooms
And it’s just you and your wife, who you trying to fool
Do you think you have enough?
I think I’ll call your bluff

Well you tell all your friends that you’re out of space
Yet you can’t find half of what you bought just yesterday
Wow it must be tough
Guess you need to buy more stuff

When you see someone living in a dark doorway
And they ask you for a quarter do you turn away
Cause with just a little luck
It could be you someday

Carrying all that you have in a paper bag
Would you be happy to be livin or go on a cryin jag?
Life would be just too tough
Without all your stuff

Now the message isn’t that it’s bad to have success
Maybe just looking out for someone who has less
They say that the one who has most toys when they die
Wins the game, if that’s true, then I ‘m not gonna try

You see God don’t care
Cause you can’t bring it there
So spend a little time in another’s shoes
Then winning the game is one you might want to lose

When Christ was on the cross he had a heavy load
Carried all of our sins just so we have somewhere we can go
He took away all our stuff
He really had it rough
To set us free
