ESPN is owned by Disney, and there are rumors (I follow some pop culture you tubers) that the "woke" culture is getting ready to hit a brick wall at the mouse house. Right now, they're losing a LOT of money. Even before the shut down, Galaxy's Edge totally underperformed. The last few Star Wars movies have been far less successful than they should have been. The next planned phase of Marvel movies has been greeted with yawns.
Supposedly, the edict is coming down that Disney personalities will quit insulting fans, and start trying to make movies that appeal to the audience again.
I'm going to be watching the situation (not the sports) with interest, cause I'm not sure upper management is going to be thrilled with the ESPN talking heads encouraging sports franchises to kill their seasons.
If their audience reflects a true cross-section of America, why do they insist on insulting 83% of that audience?
More to the point, why does 83% of that audience just shut-up and take it?
My son and I were amazed at Disney's production of 'A Christmas Carol' with Jim Carey, have joked often about how many people must have lost their jobs due to a faithful rendering of Dickens' original text and Christian mentions.
Which is to say that I suppose they could do that. I think it was their remake of 'The Alamo' that started their real erosion at the box office. I have encouraged conservatives to not take their children to the theme parks but it is an uphill battle, I understand.
Disney - if it ever supported traditional values - has long since sailed from that port. Their TV network operations are a moral and ethical abomination. We like the older reruns of 'The Simpsons' on the Freeform cable channel {for kids} but the ads are shocking for children... even cartoons of adults copulating. 😖 As far as ABC TV and News {I worked for them back in the caveman days} and ESPN - Phoooey! Disney is committed to alienating the children from their parents and indoctrinating them into New Age crap.
Other than that, isn't Disney great?!

The TV nets must be losing a fortune on sports coverage, esp. ESPN; good riddance! I will only miss the SEC cable channel. :)
