Kick Out ^ | Oct 29, 2016 at 7:33a ET | Clay Travis

The biggest business story in American sports this fall isn't the declining NFL ratings or anything that's happening on the field, court, or ice, it's the collapse in ESPN subscribers, which reflect a larger trend in the collapse of cable subscribers in general.

Don’t listen to ESPN radio either. They are just as bad.

Is there a way to watch news live on the internet?

I cut the cord to save money.

Is there a cutting the cord guide and/or ping list on free republic?

Thank you.

ESPN is to sports what MTV is to music. It’s not sports; it’s a bunch of blithering douchebags screaming nonsense about sports.

LOL! I thought I was being clever with that comparison, and you already made it.

I have much better things to do with my time than watch NFL and ESPN PC garbage and pushing social agendas. Happy to see these networks getting their just due.

It’s great to see this left wing political entity start to fail. Their adoration of anthem protesters and thugs appalls me!

ESPN had a complete failure when they went political.

Disney owns espn and iger’s underlings do not understand sports or why people want to watch sports.

It is not about cord cutting. It is about a product people WANT to see. Nobody wants to see anything on ESPN.

I finally cut the cable about a year ago, when they required digital boxes (free for two years). Doin’ fine with antenna TV, and reading more.

Klowdtv.com carries OANN for a few bucks a month. Only real news out there. Other channels included.

"I've always said ESPN is MSNBC for jocks."

Sitting on your couch drinking beer and watching football does not make one a 'jock'. A cuck and a jockstrap maybe.

For those who have cable. Espn is probably responsible for half the bill. Even if you never watch it. I hope they go belly up.
