They've decided they would rather do LIBERAL politics than sports.

Indeed. I am not saying this from statistics, and it is only my humble opinion, but it would seem to me that the very people who love sports and would tune in to ESPN are not the same demographic group that would subscribe to left-wing liberalism. ESPN has committed the biggest sin in Show Biz, which is, of course, to "Know Thine Audience".
