With ESPN having its lowest ratings in 41 years, the roundball money seems to be drying up. Sad, isn’t it? /sarc

ESPN - and Disney as the parent company - have paid a fortune to the NBA ... billions ... for broadcast rights. They really want the NBA back. They need the NBA back. Personally, I have not watched a game in a decade and don't miss it at all.

"The network, which has become more left wing than MSNBC and CNN combined over the past several weeks, has completely abandoned sports coverage. The result? Viewers, many of whom were willing to watch the channel even during a pandemic disaster with limited sports to consume, have abandoned it in droves. How bad was it? We’re talking full-on crisis mode level awfulness."

My schadenfreude cup runneth over.

Hope they lose it ALL. and ncaa football...and ncaa basketball...and baseball...all them games and bowl games....yay! They tried to monopolize it all...no one really wants espn. You can livestream a game on internet and sell your own commercial time. Same with schools will bulls××× majors. No need to GO and stay at school to learn how to critique a movie....Goodbye phoney false veneer toothed hosts. And ex athletes pontificating....and that diversity and inclusive stupidity...as if diversity ALONE guarantees success..old broadcasting model is dead...killed by virus...
