Is there anyone who still thinks ESPN is impartial?


Dec 21, 2019, 8:28 AM

Lets leave no doubt about ESPN's vested bias...

After 2023 season, SEC game of the week rights go from CBS @ $50M/yr to ESPN/ABC @ $300M/yr. Another quarter $billion to the conference every season.

To quote: "The move to ESPN and its partner channel ABC makes a lot of sense and would turn the conference into entirely an ESPN property on the football side."

CBS will stop broadcasting the SEC's top football game of the week after 2023
CBS said it made a "strong and responsible" bid for future SEC coverage but will shift its focus on other priorities.

Mere flim-flam stories and nothing but shams and lies

Just imagine when a top ACC matchup (eg Clemson at FlaSt) gets bumped to the ACCN so ESPN can make room for all their new SEC games. This deal makes me even more frustrated that Swofford hitched the ACC to that network.

Also, keep your eyes open for ESPN to under invest in the ACCN. Notice how SEC on air talent is constantly crossing over to ESPN to promote their product. Have you seen any of that for the ACCN during it’s critical first year?

I have no problem with ESPN. And neither should you.
The problem is not ESPN, but eSECpn.

Lol how does wanting to make money make the bias? The game of the week on cbs is one of the most watched games. It is right up there with ABCs primetime game. Why would they not want to get the top 2 rated games every Saturday to be on their network?
