ESPN Is Hemorrhaging Subscribers And Pretending It Doesn't Matter

Just like articles on sagging NFL ratings, nothing in the article showing the ESPN's liberalism and political correctness is hurting the network.

” ESPN’s liberalism and political correctness is hurting the network. “

Yep. Trump has tangentially emboldened even the rabid sports fan to sports leftism : )

I watch today because I wasn't going to see any Network but damn so pro Obama and Hillary went to the Golf Channel

[Pelham]

I like good news...

I'd unsubscribe from ESPN in a heartbeat. It ads about $20 to our cable bill.

I'm an unwilling subscriber. But, there are other channels we DO watch that are bundled with it.

By contract, my provider has to include it in the "enhanced" tier. So, until cable and satellite companies stop caving into the programming cartels, I have to pay it.

LMAO.

[CodeToad]

Yep! That’s the image I made mine from!

[Da Coyote]

I make it a point to leave any room broadcasting the cr*p from that cr*p network.

And to let those there know why.

Go to Fox Business Network! Stuart Varney is on now. Lou Dobbs will be on later and Neil Cavuto.

Serious discussion and not skewed toward Hillary Clinton.

We cut the cord. Cell for phone, HD antenna for local channels, Roku for the rest. We saved about $150/mo.

I cut them last month. Happy about it too. Same with Fox news.

[OrangeHoof]

The problem for them is rights fees continue to go up and their product is being practically given away on streaming services like Watch ESPN.

[Huskrrrr]

ESPN is the only reason I have cable, but I am reaching my limit as to what I’m willing to put up with. I watch most of my college games on ESPN. The Obama hour specials are making me puke.

Sling.com also forces them on you in their cheapest package.

I dropped cable when osambo won the first election.
I got Sling TV, where I get ESPN and ESPN2 plus
twenty some more channels. No cable.
Twenty bucks a month. Not bad-hate cable.

[showme_the_Glory]

ESPNBC = MSNBC with a little more sports

[Pearls Before Swine]

Kinda dumb to lecture sports fans on the evils of guns, for starters.

[vetvetdoug]

The vote, The NYT losing money, the NFL losing viewers, and ESPN tanking are just the tip of the iceberg for the great FU to the libtards.
