Load up your sports coverage with Black Lives Matter supporters and Whites don’t watch. It doesn’t take much in the way of brains to figure that out. Disney belongs on the growing trash heap of Leftist failures.

Completely calculable, entirely avoidable, the knotheads knew that this was the inevitable consequence of insulting their audience but persisted anyway.

But then, the ones who made the stuck~on~stupid decisions are probably not the ones affected by the cuts.

I was at Costco the other day and the Direct TV salesman offered a package without ESPN! Lol, you still have to pay for the service in the contract, but it won’t show up on your tv schedule. That’s some deal right there.

Just attempting to match the demographics of the audience in the photo.

This may limit the size of the audience.

Never watch ESPN, but, from what I read here, I would say that they have been veering to the left for a long, long time.

Any business that chooses a political side alienates a portion of their potential consumer base. Before making that decision, they need to decide if they’re in business to make money or make political statements because it’s an either/or choice.

Maybe in the past they could say they didn’t have any way to determine how much money they’d lose by picking sides. At this point they should be able to figure out with reasonable certainty how much they can expect to lose by choosing political sides.

The fact that they didn’t take that into account just goes to show how poisoning Leftists politics can be.

ESPN hasn’t learned any lesson. Case in point, they fired all their non-political hockey reporters and just hired a SJW blogger to replace them. They’re doubling down on stupid.

A couple of years ago I had subscription to ESPN’s magazine that I got for turning in a few old frequent flyer miles. But it was just all-queer, all-the-time so I just started throwing them in the trash without even looking at them.

ESPN is learning a hard lesson about politics after needlessly dragging itself into the fray:

There's a reason previous, non-woke generations didn't drag politics and religion into every conversation - and that reason was common sense. Today's SJWs are as political as Chinese kids during the Cultural Revolution, and as dangerous.

The unfortunate thing is Jemele Hill isn’t going anywhere. i know a number of lower level ESPN staffers who may be on the chopping block. They are conservative, and even have a Bible study on the ESPN campus every week. So celebrate if you wish but know that it’s probably not those who we’d like to see go who will get chopped.

I am sure that “Merry Christmas” is forbidden at ESPN.

Happening to a VERY deserving group of people.

Politics, and all that implies, has no business in sports. PERIOD.

Hey ESPN, when will you quit kicking yourself in the ass?
