What Jemele Hill and Michael Smith have done in their rebranding of SportsCenter, now called SC6 (because it airs at 6 p.m. Eastern. Get it?), has created unwatchable dreck. The ratings bear this out, showing a 20 percent drop from the previous year, when the old model of SportsCenter aired. It's not JUST because the two hosts are social justice warriors who share controversial opinions on a regular basis. Much of it simply reflects a blind spot in ESPN management. Hill and Smith just aren't engaging. In fact, they're off-putting for a large swath of American viewers.

If ESPN thinks it can cater to just 13% of the population and sustain itself they're very delusional.

Walt, where are you? I can remember reading him objecting to Annette Funicello wearing a bikini, now this? Everything is politicized, everything. Political correctness has gone berserk.

Honestly cannot stand the yelling and street slang used by analysts. This behavior is on ESPN, FoxNews, and other media programs. I tune it out — garbage.

I wish I could completely turn off ESPN, but I can’t as a sports junkie. However, I still only watch MNF, college football and College Gameday on that network and nothing else. I used to watch Sportscenter, but stopped watching years ago.

Buying a ticket to an NFL game is the same as making a donation to the Democrat Party...

Is it failing?

Jemele Hill ?
What kind of name is Jemele?
A stupid name for an ugly, nasty, stupid woman. Not to mention retarded.

I realized today that I really hate listening to women on sports panels. Seriously, as a woman, I find it offensive. What the hell do any of them know about playing football and why must we listen to them blather on about something they’ve never experienced? A woman can be a fan, yes, but she is not an expert on the game. It would be like listening to male “experts” blather on about giving birth.

ESPN is a racist network.

Witness their treatment of Robert K. Lee last month, when they pulled him off calling a game because his name might offend the SJW's. (He is asian, and therefore politically incorrect, and he goes by his first and last names. I found his middle initial in his contact information).

>> It’s inconceivable that parent company Disney is pleased with ESPN’s steadfast refusal to reverse course.

Disney is morally bankrupt, and deserves no patronage from any self-respecting citizen. ESPN is a reflection, not an aberration.

Tucker Carlson nailed it the other day: Endless Stupid Political Nagging.

I can’t stand talking heads. I DON’T care what they think. During a game I want play-by-play, maybe some color, and that is IT.

And they should start covering halftime shows. I LIKE marching bands. I DON’T like inane chatter.

6. They’ve rendered “Sunday Night Baseball” unwatchable - but all of their baseball coverage sucks equally.

I see them on the tube at the health club, with the sound down. They gesture like their genitals are being clawed by angry cats. I can’t hear what they’re saying, but they sure are emphatic.
