They should just get it over with already......fire everybody and hire Finebaum’s call in guests. They can give everybody a huge raise by paying them $3.50 an hour.

I hate that many people are losing their jobs because their employer decided to become a liberal political machine. I hope some are able to file a lawsuit against ESPN.
Karma can be a bit$$ when it comes back your way. ESPN should have stayed within Sports and stayed away from politics.

Yes, sad to see folks losing job/livelihoods. But they did achieve their goals, their preferred political parties/candidates have largely won...Its a free world...

So you'd be okay with no longer having a military appreciation game, saying the pledge, and singing the national anthem? Those are all political statements.

Last time I checked those where “American” themes. So no, not political. Sad that you can’t see the difference between radically funded movements that are pushing an “anti-american” agendas or one party or another.

People tried to to tell ESPN exactly what you posted, but they felt like they could do what they wanted and still maintain their audience. Sports and politics do not mix. ESPN’s big dogs have not figured that out yet.

activism. Cord cutting and the dwindling sports audiences (since well before the BLM movement) are the major driving forces.
But it's more fun to say "get woke, go broke" so carry on.

I hate it for the people affected but oh the irony. Greeny just said on his show that he was watching CNN last night with his son and finally had had enough of the election so they started watching Impractical Jokers to get away from politics. Hey idiot, it is people like you and your network that has ruined sports for many of us. Sports are my way of getting away from politics. Also have not heard anything about the layoffs on ESPN. Interesting.

Well said! ?????? You are 100% correct with your post. ESPN executives should fall on their own sword rather than punishing so many for their idiotic policies. One person posted on this thread that long before BLM sports was in decline. It is true but ESPN has been drifting into politics for several years. This is now why a few thousand ESPN employees are getting screwed by their employer!

Like most leftist organizations they will fire 300 low paid nobodies and keep every one of their overpaid "personalities" who drive away more viewers by the day. Think how many 40K year behind the scenes folks they could keep if they got rid of just one of their multi millionaire "stars". So much for equality or fairness, just like all the other things leftists pretend to care about to dupe morons into voting for them.

Best way to solve their budgetary problem is to send their cameramen and techs and then just plug in to each team's radio broadcast crew. Poof budget problem solved! Oh-and get rid of all talk show crap.
