Doubtful. Just pandering to what remains of their TV audience base.
One line clickbait? What the hell is wrong with you blog pimps? FR gives you a free platform and you don’t donate a dime, and you post a single line?

ESPN sports analyst Domonique Foxworth sparked controversy this week when he revealed that he enjoys it when Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen fails because he doesn’t like Allen’s fans.
Foxworth made the comments on the ESPN podcast “The Right Time with Bomani Jones” on Tuesday.
“I am fully aware that I have biases,” he said.
“And my biases are not based on Josh Allen. It’s based on the people that are defending Josh Allen. I would be 100 percent lying if I said that when Josh does something dumb, a little part of me doesn’t get happy. And it’s not because I don’t want Josh to succeed.
“It’s because the people who are telling me that Josh is the second coming and Josh is better than everybody are people with American flags and dogs and skulls and crossbones. … If you go just take a dip into their tweet history, it’s some really concerning retweets and likes. … It’s not about Josh.”

It’s not hard to read between the lines of Foxworth’s comments and quickly pick up on the racial undertones.
Needless to say, folks on social media reacted immediately.
I don’t care if @Foxworth24 gets canceled. Ignorant comments of a fan base from an unknown player turned unknown show host is less about his character & more about the character of @espn Next time the Bills are on ESPN I’ll listen to the radio and never buy from their advertisers

Even Jemele Hill is like “damn that’s a terrible take, Dominique”.

Pretty sure that’s called both profiling and racist…

He should’ve just gotten straight to the point and said he doesn’t like white people. https://t.co/gYUoPevzYV

Will ESPN ultimately comment on Foxworth’s points and the subsequent backlash? Time will tell.
bttt
Demonique.
is josh allen white?...that explains it....but also, I think he was one of those wimpy whites who had to kneel down to the blm cabal...
If you’ve ever listened to Bomani Jones at length, you’d know he’s quite the racist himself so it isn’t surprising he has a racist guest. Pretty much what you’d expect from ESPN these days. Cutting the cord took care of the TV side and I walked away from the radio side when they began forcing the untalented predictable take hack Mike Golic, Jr. on the air.
Buffalo did not comply. The Buffalo fans would like to give him a free barrel ride.
What’s ESPN?????
