After a series of high-profile missteps, ESPN insiders are worried that the network’s mission of “serving sports fans,” is becoming hard to believe.

Nothing but a bunch of hipsters yammering on about social justice issue and their liberal politics. If I want to know the score of a sporting event I use my local newscast or just check the internet and don’t have to bother with the ESPN BS.

Their Skipper has hit an iceberg hard and the ESPN is taking on water and sinking fast and they are planning their next social justice lecture and the dinner/party menu.

Should have started worrying 5+ years ago. They’re toast now.

How observant of them, no wonder Disney Corp pays them so much.

But every time you turn around, ESPN is laying off, so there are fewer people to pay.

... catering to a demographic who will never consume their product.

Years ago, I read an article on the roller derby. As kids, my brother and I would watch it.

Turns out that the people that watched it didn't have money, whereas, the small demo of people that watch golf tend to have lots of money.

Airtime-desired demo-advertisers-$$$, everybody wins...

I would say to stay away from the cooking channels, but Top Chef already had Nancy Pelosi and John Podesta as judges.

They need to fire ESPN President John Skipper and his closest deputies NOW.

The network's hard-Left turn has turned off many viewers, and something needs to be done before even Disney CEO Robert Iger views it as a major financial drag on the Walt Disney Company itself.
