We are locked in our homes...and we aren't watching sports.

Maybe something else is wrong...

Well, officially, they aren’t allowed to say that the “woke” messaging has turned off viewers. We can all talk among ourselves at that being a reason, but officially, the suits at ESPN aren’t allowed to say that out loud.

Difficult to fix a problem when you fail to properly diagnose the problem. Of course the head of ESPN will be moving to a bigger job, paying more. New world people, results don’t matter.

Yup. This is just the latest round of MANY layoffs at Bristol, Connecticut-based ESPN. CT's economy is a dumpster fire... This just adds more fuel.

I live in CT, but I don't care... The fewer leftists that have a voice in the media, the better. Hope ESPN goes under.

ESPN should have kept its business on Sports instead of Politics and Racial issues. If they stayed with sports programming they would be having fewer issues.

I don’t like being called a racist by a sports team who I maybe paying to view their product. That’s what sports are is a product. Nothing more.

ESPN had a great business model and now it’s failing. Wonder what they did to screw themselves up so badly?
