last night watching the late night reruns of the Golden Girls, they had at least 4 commercials in a row featuring black people....not coincidence.....

I can’t wait until we have “pick and choose” cable/satellite. Every sports channel, especially ESPN, will be the first thing that we’ll be dumping.

Let’s be fair: There are no major sports highlights to show and talk about. That said, I’m quite fine with ESPN suffering financially.

Who could have guessed that wall to wall conversations about race would be a ratings disaster.

Good luck defending this hair-brained strategy to your advertisers, ESPN.

It's "hare-brained," isn't it?

I have not had the TV on in weeks .... for ANYthing. No FOX, no sports ...

If I want news, I get it online where I can pick my sources. Instead of “woke/joke” TV, I listen to podcasts ... if I don’t like an episode, I can mark it played/delete it. Most of what I listen to is “true crime” ... pretty sad when that is less depressing than current TV/news.

They are doing so much damage to race relations. Everyone is going for symbolism over substance.

You want to help? Shut your mouth and go out into disadvantaged communities and listen to what they need and then help them get it.

Mentor a child, not just in education but in giving them and their parent(s) a sense of hope.

Teach money sense and great ways to save toward owning a home.

If you have money (are you listening NFL and NBA players) set up a way of helping deserving people get financing.

Help train young adults, set up your own personal apprenticeship program. If you are a plumber, an electrician, a carpenter, take a young person under your wing and train them. Some of these trades pay a lot more than a college degree.

They are still getting carriage fees from cable providers which are of course passed on to subscribers. I know my Verizon Fios bill sure hasn’t gone down.

I remember when ESPN use to be the top channel on cable. And they charged a fortune to get a subscription to it. Husband loved it; otherwise I would have dropped it for sure.

To be fair, don’t you think the almost complete absence of live sporting events in the last three months might have more to do with the decline than disagreement over “wokeness”?

ABC Good Morning America & TMZ both should switch over to BET network. It is ALL BLACK ALL THE TIME & ALL ANTI-TRUMP.

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!

I’ve only watched ESPN for a game they had on and nothing more, for well over a decade.
