Hard for me to acknowledge a Tennessee fan being right but he's right.
Middle America wants to pop a beer and listen to sports talk, they don't want to be lectured about why Caitlyn Jenner is a hero, Michael Sam is the new Jackie Robinson of sports, and Colin Kaepernick is the Rosa Parks of football. ESPN made the mistake of trying to make liberal social media losers happy and as a result lost millions of viewers.
ESPN is failing because it stopped covering sports.
Used to be that you could see things on ESPN that none of the other networks would cover (like drag boat racing, or River Jet Boat racing). They may not have been glamorous, but they were interesting and different.
Their model went to major sports and commentary on them. The latter part went full leftist, and everyone started tuning them out. The point of sports is escapism, not more full-throated leftist garbage.

If I could do a la carte cable....ESPN would not be on the list.
I cant stand ESPN. That was one of the reasons I cut the cord BUT The 30 for 30 documentaries are outstanding. I wish they did more stuff like that instead of the social engineering stuff.

Funny, but they don’t have anything on their website about the internal carnage. /s
I can’t believe anyone could stomach ESPN for at least the last 15 years. It’s been unwatchable tabloid garbage mixed with PC propaganda presentations. They only cover events that happen off the field. Good luck seeing highlights from the game, it’s just a bunch of boring talking heads.
