By force-feeding its viewers an unwanted diet of systemic racism and social justice, ESPN has thinned its viewership to an all-time low. The blundering miscalculation sank ESPN's audience this week to the lowest numbers in its 41-year history. Good luck defending this hair-brained strategy to your advertisers, ESPN.
Clay Travis, of Fox Sports Radio and a frequent ESPN "Woke Center" critic, put it all into perspective on his Outkick The Coverage blog.:
"The network, which has become more left wing than MSNBC and CNN combined over the past several weeks, has completely abandoned sports coverage. The result? Viewers, many of whom were willing to watch the channel even during a pandemic disaster with limited sports to consume, have abandoned it in droves. How bad was it? We’re talking full-on crisis mode level awfulness."

Stephen A. Smith is nothing more than an illiterate, uneducated, low-IQ, racist POS. He is reason alone never to watch ESPN again. I’m done with pro football, college football, baseball and hockey. I never watched racist, illiterate, sweaty, smelly black hoops to begin with. ESPN you’re gone!
The Indian family that owned a hotel that I stayed at explained to me during check in with a black riot playing on their TV "They are trouble everywhere in the world."
Stated so simply, it was obvious they hadn't been in the US long.
I’ve only watched ESPN for a game they had on and nothing more, for well over a decade.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Screw the NFL and the rest of the kneelers.
Same with the NFL network radio on SiriusXM. Its all one-upsmanship over who can tell their personal run ins with the law.
Even the 2 minute warning breaks for sports updates are full of this crap.
This is just until the foolsball season starts.
Gee...being called racist by people making huge salaries is turning people off?
Dominique Foxworth is most Woke. He is arrogant and unrelenting. Often criticizing White people and athletes who have already bowed to the mob. Foxworth will try to corner them, “What else are you doing? More has to be done by white people”
When the SpeciOps guy Nate Boyer was on, he had the audacity to ask Boyer what else he was doing...This guy has multiple stints in both Afghanistan and Iraq. I literally wanted to jump into the TV and punch the scrawny punk in the face. Who in the F does he get off asking a Special Forces Combat veteran to do anything?
Then you have Mr. White Guilt himself, Max Kellerman, who is in a race to show how Woke he is. He literally drones on and on, taking up half of the segment with his moronic ad bowed down kissing the ass of the “oppressed”.
ESPN is indeed as woke Liberal as CNN or PMSnbc.
I also noticed every single person is a liberal. The only exception is Will Cain, who Stephen A Smith has seemingly banned him fro the First Take Show. Why, Cain is an attorney and debates with Facts that the Racialists don’t like. But, they can’t refute his points, so they banned him.
Yes - we can easily take the position that all of the great sporting events have already been played. Let's all commit to watching these moments of greatness as an alternative to today's gambler-fixed and politically correct new offerings. :)
We’re NOT going to watch NASCAR either...
TV rarely on these days. Maybe a couple of hours a week. Cartoon network for kids.
Since there are no games on, I am not surprised.
Yes, this might be one of the most ignorant articles posted in weeks, or maybe hours, since there are so many.
Umbrella sales go down in a drought! People don't watch sports when .... there are no sporting events to watch!
Perhaps you didn’t read the entire list. Read the part about mentoring and apprenticeship both of those help with jobs.
There have been no sports to watch for about three months. The saturation of BLM talk and talk of protesting when sports seasons finally do resume is only a couple of weeks old. If the record ratings lows were in the past week, maybe people are tired of all the political and social navel gazing and pontificating on a sports network.
With you....
let all the pro sports/black welfare for rich white hating thugs, go down the sewer.
they are all going to get messed up sooner or later, they will all become nascar, don’t doubt it
actually get out there and play them yourself! :)
and all the worthless ‘sports media’ will be put of work as well. the dividends are icing on the cake.
It was never on here to begin with.
I have noticed the cable package keeps adding more and more ESPN-whatever channels.
On radio I’ve noticed that some hosts are able to fill their time slot without turning to politics. Others can’t resist. I think it covers for a lack of sports knowledge.
