I never watch ESPN. I could care less about professional sports of any kind. But I am about ready to cut the cord just to deprive ESPN, CNN, and the other basic cable recipients of one more very tiny amount of revenue. If everyone did this, they would go out of business, and the cable industry along with it.
I “watch” ESPN ... but I MUTE it and have Pandora playing my favorite music. There is no need to “hear” ESPN. I read my Kindle During the commercials. A pleasent way to spend the afternoon.
