Even Lebron has lost MUCH popularity due to his sniping at Trump.
And these players and teams who boycott the White House honoring celebration...
This is nothing but a response to inroads made my Fox Sports. With no challenger, ESPN would be more than happy to continue the attempt to indoctrinate.
Too little, too late. Fk ESPN forever... they made their choice. Hopefully they'll go full Chap 11.
Drexel Hamilton analyst Tony Wible downgraded Disney stock on Monday in response to “a massive increase in NBA costs” for ESPN.
Disney’s deal to televise NBA games, with its increase in step-up costs over last year, could shave as much as 5 percent off pre-tax profits.
The agreement, which takes effect in October and lasts through the 2024-25 season, works out to $2.7 billion a year — an annual increase of 190 percent over the $930 million-a-year agreement it replaces.

ESPN's Huge Sports Contracts Are Killing Its Profits
On the other hand, that means ESPN is on the hook for billions of dollars in broadcasting rights over the next five years. If it continues to bleed subscribers at a faster rate than it can raise affiliate fees, investors could see a continued decline in operating income. At least its programming expenses will remain relatively stable, though.

Yeah, losing a significant piece of your audience will make you reconsider things.
“Without question our data tells us our fans do not want us to cover politics”
Without question you a-holes didn’t care for years, and I stopped watching ESPN.
I was born and raised in Boston and for many years loved my home teams.
I have not watched a game in years. This, though my former beloved teams just won the World Series, Super Bowl, and now the Bruins vying for the Stanley Cup.
I have lost all interest. I care about my Nation and it’s sovereignty. I also stopped watching all network news and a lot more. I am sick of the BS from so many angles.
ESPN has fans?
The mere existence of Jamele Hill on your network has poisoned the well for at least two decades. Who would go back to watching after such an in-your-face display of contempt for white Americans as putting her in any role of importance?
uuuuuhhhhhh, No $hit Dick Tracy, but you still had to pee on that electric fence a few times before you finally came to that conclusion, didn’t you.
This is the antithesis to “get woke, go broke.” Someone at ESPN saw that happening and brought in new leadership to turn things around, is what this looks like. A welcome sign.
LOL. Unbelievable gaslighting. Literally last week I saw ESPN on in a restaurant and they were pushing “criminal justice reform” on a program. AKA Christmas for Criminals. I guess liberal orthodox is not “politics” to the cultural Marxists running ESPN.
Doh!... That took way to long for ESPN to figure out.
Like movie stars and other celebs... The opinions of sports figures and commentators really do not matter to the common people. Their ratings are down the tubes and will continue that way until they cover sports... That’s kind of why they existed in the first place.
What a freaking genius
People love to hear ignorant know nothing jocks ramble on with poor opinions.
Especially when we compare jock ignorance to other well formed smart talkers in a competition of ideas.
Let me simplify.
Jock is stupid.
Seasoned talker is smart.
Why stay tuned to ESPN? NEVER.
Alex Jones dominates you.
Rush Limbaugh crushes ESPN dicks.
Dennis Prager destroys you.
David Knight humiliates Sports losers.
ESPN are losers.
I know ESPN is low IQ. But this makes sense. Jocks are losers.
“But we’re going to do it anyway.”
Too late, ESPN.
You are forever on my sh!t list.
5 years now with an antenna, and I’m perfectly happy.
Also, we don’t want to hear women announcing College Football games.
National Review can kiss off too.
I belie e he got the wrong message. By covering politics we began to see who they (ESPN) really were. And they can cover all of the politics they want.
We just don’t want ESPN. We have seen who you really are and we reject you out of hand!!!
Just go away.
