For a long time, ESPN was seen as the bulwark that kept people from cutting the cord, but eventually even they couldn’t stop it. The fact is that millennials don’t care about sports. Compounding the problem is that ESPN has spent a lot of money buying the television rights to a lot of sports, and with the revenues falling, there’s no way to recover that money, which is the major source of income to those sports. The next time those contracts come around, you’re going to see a lot less being bid, and a lot of guys who make millions a season are going to be making less.
I see a lot if white males being laid off/let go/canned.
