Went woke. Hope they go broke.

They still don’t get it. Stick with Sports and only Sports.

[FreeperCell]

Thank you. You gave me a smile.

“They still don’t get it.”

Yep. Saw a clip of them getting all political on their NBA show right after the Rittenhouse verdict.

“Stephen A Smith”

IMO, Stephen A is playing a character on ESPN. I heard him do a couple of interviews on Mark Levin’s radio show prior to COVID and George Floyd. If he listens to Levin, there’s no way he’s as knee jerk liberal as the character he plays on Disney-ABC-ESPN to keep the millions rolling in.

They still have 76 million subscribers? I think they have a cup half full but they think it is half empty. If they were filling their cup they would not be pushing woke on every show. I have pretty much never been a sports fan and ESPN is a complete waste as far as I am concerned. It’s the people that used to be jocks in high school that like sports.

ESPN and cable TV itself are going the way of the Vinyl record.

Disney has the same idea as the post office: keep raising price until customers come back.

They can spend all they want, but they won’t get me back. The only reason I had cable TV was to watch sports, but wokeism killed my interest.

I miss watching tennis, but I watch my grass grow more than ESPN now.

Like many, I grew up on Disney and seeing Walt give intro’s to all his magical shows about American Icons and American History.

Now, with gay Execs running Disney and pushing/peddling/selling all things woke and gay and Lesbian and Tranny the company cannot go broke quick enough for me. I haven’t watched ANYTHING Disney in decades. In fact, my big flat screen TV has been laying face down under my bed for many years. I don’t miss TV at all.

In the last few months we here have also canceled Amazon Prime and Netflix.

Our version of cancel culture =)

And NFL!

keep pushing your racial agenda and you all at espn can kiss my hairy ass.
Sports, not ideology.
Not some simpleton telling me i am a bad person cause i am an old white guy.

I've seen trade articles citing 50 million subscribers as the bottom number at which the operation folds because it's not worth it. Since the decline is accelerating and their fear is that it's coming far faster than they anticipated.

At a time with multiple sports betting apps entering, one might think ESPN would see some leveling off of their declining viewership but their decline remains unabated.

Forced subscription to espn is one of the reasons why i switched to Sling last month..

[Ge0ffrey]

Brandon Disney as well. It’s brand is forever tarnished.

[Ge0ffrey]

Its brand (sorry, grammar police)

[bort]

Bingo.

Cable is the only way to provide intent service and speed for today's households.
Fiber installs are at an all time high in many areas. .
My brother is a supervisor for Frontier in Florida.
They can't keep up.

It’s funny all these articles are written like it’s ESPN. ESPN is a cable network, and cable doesn’t ala carte. CABLE is losing subscribers. ESPN just happens to be along for the ride. Along with all the other sports networks, and the news networks, and everything else.
