ESPN layoffs to hit on-camera personalities
CNN Money ^ | March 6, 2017: 10:47 AM ET | Ahiza Garcia

ESPN will lay off some of the personalities who appear on TV, radio and online.

The cuts will only affect "talent" -- not rank-and-file employees, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The details are still being finalized, but layoffs are expected to take place through June.

"One thing for sure....the entire list will be made up of white males."

They will be replaced by strippers reporting scores while pole dancing.

I wonder does that include Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic of Mike & Mike. I think they can't, because that radio/TV show is a major revenue source for that network. In fact, the original plan for Greenberg to do a new morning SportsCenter show for ESPN may have been shelved when radio stations and cable/satellite operators objected.

ESPN is dominated by the same fossilized fungal types as the GOPe and desperately need a new outlook. They should empty out starting at the top and ask President Trump for recommendations for conservative thinking people who are already successful in business.

Liberals are so stupid as to think that they can repeat the same mistakes over and over, all the while expecting a different result.

Yo! ESPN! DISNEY! AND THE REST OF YOU LOSERS! WE DON'T WANT YOUR LIBERAL POLITICS OR PRO FAGGOT AGENDA ANYMORE!

Heavens to Mergatroid. About the only thing I can think of that would be more boring than watching ESPN would be listening to ESPN.

What ESPN and any broadcast media company can do is replace all of their talent with personalities like the redhead woman and blonde man in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wLw_FuBe54&t=00m12s

Automation Technology is the way of the future whether we like it or not.
