Is he that Skeletor guy?

[4yearlurker]

Has this guy ever heard of a TV antenna? I get 38 channels on mine and all for free! As far as ESPN in concerned I never have watched it in my life and never will.

[vladimir998]

Anyone have any hard data that shows those people unsubscribing are really turning OFF ESPN rather than just cutting the cable TV cord and going to some sort of online streaming service that carries ESPN (e.g. Sling TV)?

In unexcerpted audio preceding the snippet which follows, Van Pelt contended that people who claim that they're boycotting ESPN are in a "make-believe world where everyone talks s–t."

From a man who pets paid to talk s**t for living. If SVP wants to go full SJW, he should quit and join the protestors.

[Rummyfan]

And I say, "OK, that means that you don't watch college football playoffs, Monday Night Football, the baseball playoffs, the NBA."

The NBA? Who the heck watches the NBA?

[shanover]

ESPN at the beginning was the BEST. Now it is worthless. Their fault and I don't care.

NFL is inching to my avoidance forever also even if my team never gets the Super Bowl.

[AFreeBird]

Haven’t watched ESPN in decades. Apparently, I haven’t missed much.

[ExpatGator]

No NBA, no NFL and no ESPN. None. This is the second season of not watching the last two and it’s been well over a decade since I watched my last NBA game. Done with thuggery and the endorsement of it.

[Jacquerie]

If ESPN is available in your TV lineup, you subsidize ESPN whether you watch it or not.

[Entropy Squared]

My wife watches maybe 20 hours of TV a week so sometimes when I’m in the room I kind of see it. When I’m on the road and stay at a hotel I don’t bother to turn it on, there’s no point in doing so.

[Sgt_Schultze]

And I say, "OK, that means that you don't watch college football playoffs, Monday Night Football, the baseball playoffs, the NBA."

Nope. Nope. Nope. Hell no!

[LurkedLongEnough]

ESPN ... that was a claymation video on 1980’s MTV, right?

[Grampa Dave]

There are a variety of ways, in which businesses judge whether they’re having a successful business day. However, if you’re losing over 15,000 customers a day, that is generally frowned upon.

No doubt, there are many frowns being worn on the faces of ESPN executives after reviewing the October Cable Coverage Estimates. ESPN lost over 15,000 subscribers for every day ending in “y,” during the month of October.

To put that into perspective, that’s the equivalent of losing Sacramento, California, the 35th largest city in the country, in a month. While many would welcome the loss of Sacramento, for a variety of reasons, when discussing losing a city of that size in a ratings context, it’s horrifying.

“Disney Corp is an insult to the Country and decency.”,

Disney owns ESPN, ABC and Disney.

We cut our cable this past June to save money and to eliminate ESPN, ABC and Disney.

One of our SIL’s told us to go to Sling Blue as our main streaming site.

Why?

Sling Blue does not carry any ESPN, Disney or ABC channels.

So, the maggot infected gays, who control ESPN, Disney and ABC get 0$’s bucks from us.

Scott Van Pelt can insult those of us, who have cut our cable and use Sling Blue all he wants to. We can’t hear, nor see him, nor do we care! He reminds us of the insane Hilliarily voters screaming at the moon recently.

[Grampa Dave]

Great pictures.

How long will it be before some NFL loving Freepers with Jock Itch for brains, tells you and us, those empty seats don’t really hurt the National Felon League.

[Morpheus2009]

I don’t even bother with cable or dish.

[ratzoe]

...Freepers with Jock Itch for brains...

Thank goodness for Freerepublic.com, where you can insult the very folks that align with you for the good of the country. Let's all act as liberals and demand that no one can have a differing opinion. The 'free' is rapidly disappearing.

[Osage Orange]

I wish my pets paid me.....: )

[Rummyfan]

pets... gets... what’s the difference?!

[Boomer]

What’s ESPN?

;)
