While firing 100 sports-related employees, ESPN runs 'Five poets on the new feminism'

Read these feminist poems while you clean out your desk!

On Monday, ESPN announced it would be firing a gaggle of writers, on-air talent, and radio personalities. As subscribers and ratings decline, the former sports network has been forced (repeatedly) to trim its stable of on-air talent, writers, and radio personalities. Initially they claimed 40-50 jobs would get the axe. Yesterday, we learned ESPN’s employee bloodbath would involve over 100 people.

Since they’ve announced no plans to alter their programming - other than to implement some kind of streaming service - we can only conclude that this is a temporary solution. Without major reconfiguration, they’ll probably need to do this again in a few years.

ESPN is owned by Disney and radically left Hearst. Another example of of unregulated and unreported donations to the Democrat Party and other Leftist causes. ESPN making money is secondary while Disney makes money.

They might hire her so they can get the insights of the viewpoint of “women who wish they were men”.

Reconfiguration is a major part of all enterprises over time.
Few things remain constant over the years.

20 years ago there used to be nights and even weekend days when ESPN showed mostly lumberjack and cheerleading competitions (not together). And I’d ask “How could they get worse than this?”

Never ask “How can it get worse than this?” because someone will take it as a challenge.

Well, now they can start on the second 100 employees to be fired.
