The SEC would just bail them out. That or John Swofford would take money from ACC schools to start an save the SEC foundation. You know crooks have each other’s backs!

I would love to see the downfall of ESPN, that is, if there is a suitable replacement. They have turned into nothing but a liberal soapbox and are very much biased in what they say. Many of their talking heads are nauseating. Other than that, they're O.K.

I watched the first 35 minutes of the NFL draft last Thursday night and that's all I could endure. That little "change channel" button is a wonderful invention. Learn how to use it.

I’ve had no problem keeping ESPN turned off for years. The one place they get me (and probably a lot of people) is the fact they have the rights to so much CFB. My hope is that if enough people start turning off the talking heads, they will streamline the network to just sporting events and the occasional sportscenter recap.

I remember back in the early 80's when they started that they did just that... Nothing but snow until a game or an occasional sporting news show...Same with HBO, movies or snow...

Yep been that way for awhile. The only time I watch any ESPN channels now is when Clemson football is playing on them. I wish there was a way Clemson could find a way to play all there games on another network and tell ESPN to go to ####.....then I would never watch any of there BS channels again......Go Tigers!!!!!

Fox or another name would have the rights. Politics should not be in sports period.

Disney stock sucks (up $4.87 today). It's only up 8.98%/year for the last 28 years. Compared to Microsoft's 17% over the same period their performance is dismal.
If you don't like liberals then change the channel. If you don't like conservative then don't watch Fox News. It's really pretty simple.
Unless your a housewife who can't get off the treadmill. Then start a boycott of Married with Children.

broadcast a ton of games and i can't imagine all of that would get picked back up by other networks.
I'm still of the opinion that ESPN does a great job broadcasting live sports, and that's literally all i watch on their network. If you are sitting around watching Finebaum and First Take and getting pissed off at ESPN that's really your fault. Just don't watch that garbage. There are plenty of places to find higher quality sports media these days.

Programming Network. Now the "P" has been changed to "Politics". So sad that they have strayed so far off their original premise. Continuing to lose viewers may eventually wake them up, but with Liberal Democrats in charge, I doubt it. They are more willing to continue to shoot holes in the bottom of the boat and sink it, rather than admit they have a gun, politically speaking.

How are they a joke?
Apr 28, 2020, 9:34 AM
|

They have multiple TV stations devoted exclusively to sports, 24/7. They have a streaming service. They have a website. They even have agreements with some conferences, including the ACC, to show even more of their sports.
I don’t always agree with everything they say, but I can say the same about every other media company out there. I’m happy to take what I want from ESPN and enjoy their content, and ignore the rest.
