Cord-cutting isn’t the main reason they’re losing viewers.
Ask Curt Shilling and Britt McHenry.
MY plan for ESPN isn’t shrouded in mystery: Don’t watch it!....................
Politics. Liberal politics is the reason for the coming demise of ESPN.
Sports fans don’t tune in for politics. They watch to get away from it.
Kill it!
Simple solution. ESPN should hire Bob Costas and have him start spewing more leftist pablum, you know, how gun control and confiscation should start in America for the good of the children.
What an utter mess they made of ESPN. It wasn’t too many years ago that people sought out cable or expand cable just to get ESPN. Now people are running and screaming away from ESPN. Wow, that’s some kind of talent.

The only thing ESPN has done wrong is not doing enough of this type of stuff. MORE. MORE. MORE. Come on ESPN. You can do it.
espn would recover real fast if they had a no politics rule.. the mixing of political commentary with sports analysis of games is what sabotaged the channel.
“Disney DIS, -1.20% on Tuesday, laid out plans to launch a much awaited direct-to-consumer streaming service for ESPN to combat the damage the company has suffered from cord-cutting.”
If they think for a second that charging directly the consumer a hefty sum for the despicable ESPN is going to work, they’re delusional. Currently they’re getting a ton of free money from people like me who hate them but havent cut the cord yet.
When conservative Southern males pull the cord on ESPN and the SEC Network during college football season, I’ll be impressed with talk of boycotts. As long as you have to “watch your team”, ESPN will never change. A Southern boycott of college football would be the final nail in the coffin.
