The drop in subscribers is an economic issue, not a political one,” said Joseph Bonner, a senior analyst for Communications and Technology at Argus Media.

Even ESPN anchors like Linda Cohn have said otherwise - that delving into politics has hurt ESPN.

"Whistling past the graveyard" basically means pretending you aren't afraid of something when, in reality, you are very afraid.

Obviously the NFL forgot who the majority their fans were. They for the most part MEN who act like men and women who want their men to be men. They do ascribe to limp wristed faggots, ungrateful traitors, PC correct crowds or Liberal politics.

This industry is heavily monitored by market researchers with no other job.

Much like in any totalitarian society, NOBODY wants to be the guy that shouts that the emperor is naked.

All the research in the world is useless if it is tailored to what the end user wants to hear. For more proof, just look at sHillary’s last campaign.

what is lacking cannot be counted.

70 year old Grampa Dave kicks ESPN/NFL and Disney where it hurts. His kick will inflict pain each month as his new Sling TV plan no longers includes ESPN and Disney.

When anyone cuts their cable, Sling is a reasonable alternative. We cut our cable in June and went to Sling Orange and Sling Blue.

So, we had both the Sling Orange and Blue basic. One of our relatives, who hates ESPN/NFL gave us a great heads up.

Sling Blue doesn't carry any ESPN or Disney channels.

We don't watch ESPN or Disney, however, they were getting money from us by our subscribing to Sling Orange each month when we automatically paid our bill.

I got that info from my relative, Friday. A few minutes later I had cancelled Sling Orange. ESPN and Disney get zero money from my Sling Blue monthly subscription payment.

What Is Sling Blue?:(from their site)

Sling Blue costs $25 per month and gives you access to 43 live channels. However,

Blue does not include every Orange channel by default; there’s no Disney and no ESPN, for starters.

So Adios ESPN and Disney!

Tuning into ESPN is the same as a donation to the democrat Party.
