They just don’t do sports very well. Their announcers are usually terrible.
My son says ESPN stands for “Endlessly Self Promoting Network.” Their announcers are horrible because they forgot its about the game, not about them. And their “news” is thinly veiled propaganda. With the rise of the regional Fox Sportsnet and CSN networks, ESPN has become irrelevant.
That’s not true.....they’ve gone political, and people are fleeing in droves...
Fire about half of those preening peacocks/strutting banty roosters who absolutely know far more about the game than the coaches, players or fans. Or anyone who has ever lived, for that matter!
And I used to think that Howard Cosell was bad!
While they are at it get rid of the "babe" announcers who sit there on the stools trying to keep their too-short skirts pulled down at least half way to their knobby knees.
Get announcers who can tell us about the games, NOT their own personal omniscience and inside access.
