They just don’t do sports very well. Their announcers are usually terrible.

I hear Olbermann is going to Telemundo.

With an interpreter.

At least they were smart enough to bash Trump and lose all of his viewers.

That’s what happens when you try to politicize sports.

People just are not buying the FAKE ESTABLISHMENT LINE.

The money then walks. Hence, the cuts at ESPN.

Olberman is quitting? I thought he was big into sports before he got into politics.

Sick and tired of all sports and entertainment figures trying to become social and political commentators. Bob Costas, though not on ESPN, is automatic mute button material along with any others who want to pontificate and moralize about non-sports subjects.

People don’t tune into sports events and news to hear some self-righteous blowhard moralizing about social and political issues.

Hordes of people are cutting the cable and revenue is down 11%. There was an article in Friday’s Wall St Journal. TNT is down, CNN is down, AMC, etc.

Some years ago ESPN was part of the basic package on DISH network. Now its a higher cost premium package to get them but I’m not paying it. No biggie...

Chasing the fickled 18-34 year old demo that doesn’t watch TV. A perfect plan for economic ruin.
