I don’t like mixing politics with my sports.

I especially don’t like talking heads coming into my living room and insulting me.

So....I don’t watch them.

In fact, I’m canceling my satellite altogether.

I have Dish Network and I block the ESPN channels.

Hopefully it’s the Kaepernick effect!

I would like to see an end to bundling on cable TV. That would probably mean the end to ESPN and a few others.

Surely it couldn’t have been what it was.

We stopped watching ESPN when they spent too much time on publicizing homosexuals and Leftist player protests. We haven’t missed it.

They need to keep their politics out of their coverage. Also most sports fans are more conservative, and yet they push their liberal views.

Hope the NFL takes a massive dive too.

[ESPN Ombudsman Jim Brady, admitted that the network lurched way too far to the left in recent years]

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION for Jim Brady and ESPN. Go to church on Sundays. ESPN has been your idol for too long.

When I watch sports, I want a break from life frankly. I want to watch athletes performing.
When these pundits and announcers start bloviating about crap outside of the game, I change the channel.
Stick to the game turds. I never watch the shows outside of the games either for that leftward bent discussed in the article.

Good!

This is a start and I hope the downward spiral continues.

Sports fans and participants are NOT generally libtards.

Good riddance to ESPN.

I will be very happy when the time comes when you can choose
and pay for only the channels you want to watch. And that time
will come.

There's a real chance ESPN President John Skipper may end up resigning over this debacle.

I wouldn't be surprised if former ESPN President George Bodenheimer is asked to return for a short stint to clean up the mess at ESPN and return it to its former glory. For one thing, because ESPN does sports programming for ABC, Bodenheimer will put the College Football Playoff and Championship games back on over-air ABC, and may negotiate a deal to bring Monday Night Football back to ABC with more attractive matchups.

Is Nielsen confusing viewers with subscribers?

the cable providers are the ESPN subscribers. Individuals can’t subscribe to ESPN

NFL superstars had better move up their negotiations in advance of the NFL death spiral. Owners are not gonna be happy when they see dwindling TV revenue going forward.

The Extra Sappy Pussy Network should not be surprised.

Their sports announcers have tanked and continue to be pathetic. Why don’t they get tons and tons more women to announce their sports? Pathetic. They’re digging their own grave.

Well, actually, Jim Brady didn’t admit that, but actually doubled-down on how ESPN isn’t Left-wing:

That’s because ESPN decided to politicalize sports.

If ESPN would stay out of politics, and just talk about sports. They would be in better shape.
