MS-ESPN took a bath on the monday night games, they have been horrible.

[TBP]

And tehy don’t get why. They refuse to get it.

[drewh]

the daytime/afternoons are just horrible. they should go back to broadcasting trick shot pool like the old days...

[foundedonpurpose]

Not even missed in my home.

Tv lost and continues to lose its audience thanks to kids playing with their smartphones or video game consoles.

As for the adult audience, yeah, stupid things like this kill interest, and some people are probably tired of remakes at the movies.

How could I watch the NBA finals when I don’t watch the NBA.....ever.

“Van Pelt aimed particular venom at those who have decided that they didn’t need to have cable TV any more when ESPN selected Caitlyn-formerly-Bruce Jenner as its 2015 annual Arthur Ashe Courage Award winner, calling them “so dumb that I can’t even pray for you because you’re beyond hope.”

Irredeemables strike again!

All these or at least most of these people in the media, including the sports media, live in such a liberal elitist bubble. I am so sick, sick, sick of all of them that I did cut crony cable and stay away from their sites.

There are plenty of alternatives, Van Pelt, and I don’t have to listen to any failed leftist garbage being shoved down my throat.

I liked ESPN. I don’t care for DNCSPN.

Everybody get out of the way. There’s a train wreck a coming.

"You know what, I’m gonna go ahead and cut my entire cable package because ESPN gave an award on a made-up show in July because there’s no sports to a woman who used to be a man, so I’m now not gonna have any cable TV at all, and I’m gonna sit around at night and read books by candlelight like olden times because of that." That’s just, that's not happening. And if you did that, then you’re so dumb that I can’t even pray for you because you’re beyond hope. If that was your reaction to this — was to deny yourself the ability to watch television — I mean that just hasn’t happened and didn’t happen.

I stopped watching television around the mid 90s, and by the early 2000s my television had been in the closet for so long I finally gave it away. I have not noticed that my life has gotten any worse, and quite the opposite. I have taken up painting, gotten another degree, kept up with the technical skills required for my job, etc.

On the few occasion that I have been around a television in the 2000s, like in a hotel room travelling, I have been shocked by how much propaganda is on television. I mean everything, from obviously the ads, to everything between the ads, is trying to tell you what to think, not just showing you a football game or something.

For me, I quit watching ESPN and the other Disney channels, SEC Network and ABC! The SEC is hard to not watch, because my Gators, good or bad, and other SEC teams, appear on the network.

BOYCOTT THE NFL!!!

BOYCOTT ESPN!!

20 minutes from kickoff for Browns Jaguars at FirstEnergy Stadium - the didn't all decide to watch the game from home, either

[Jeff Chandler]

I remember ESPN.

Pride and vanity will get them all the time.

Disney Corp is an insult to the Country and decency.
