What a business model! Customers are running away in droves, so insult your market some more. Double down on virtual signaling, which has been driving away business to begin with. Is that what y’all learned in MBA school?
Geniuses!
ESPN, please do the marketplace a favor. Get it over with and DIE!

[Osage Orange]

I know, right?

I just want my pets to pay me,,,dang it!

I do so much for them!!

I started using Jock Itch for brains a couple of weeks ago whenever some freepers tried to play down our boycott and its impact. They often rant on about how our boycott was not working and how we were losing the battle.

We see the same with some of same people defending Franken instead working to get him out of the senate.

They also defend the Clintons and never back our side nor ever seem to want to win against the liberals.

[Grampa Dave]

going to some sort of online streaming service that carries ESPN (e.g. Sling TV)?

Or like many of us using Sling Blue which does not carry any ESPN, Disney or ABC!

Also, we are seeing a lot people, who after cutting their cables, get the free channels with regular outside or inside tv antennae and pay nothing for what they watch.

No Satellite or Cable. I get everything I want and or need off the interweb. No Subsidies.

[DoughtyOne]

Oh but this is having no effect...

LOL

[Road Warrior ‘04]

BOYCOTT THE NFL!!!

[hinckley buzzard]

Fairly decent weather for November, and nothing going on to compete. Granted Browns are the bottom of the heap, But in years past, when you could get tickets on the cheap like now, people would show up. No more.

[Gene Eric]

Good you see it too.

You’ll notice virtually no one ever mentions Comcast nor Disney as the primary facilitators of iniquity in media. I suppose the radio jocks depend on their affiliates.

And now we have AT&T fighting to retain CNN.

[Deplorable American1776]

ESPN started as a great idea, but now it is a liberal media company.

[cherry]

they honored a Hollywood creep with mental issues who professed to change his dna WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE over a simple young girl with terminal cancer courageously trying to play a game she loved and did it with the most positive uplifting and gracious attitude possible....

and we are not supposed to be upset about this insanity?...

[cherry]

I pretty much am not watching professional sports....

okay, we watched the curling championships the other night...

HS sports are entertaining, both girls and boys...and we follow our local college womens' bb team as well as other college teams...

I will avoid espn as much as possible...maybe soon, we'll get rid of cable completely...

[cherry]

listening to sports on the radio is interesting...you’re mind is working faster because you have to envision whats going on....

[cherry]

the empty seats probably don't bother the bottom line for the nfl...but it affects the cities that collect tax on concessions and parking, it affects the concessionaires and their workers, etc...

and it looks HORRIBLE on tv...just horrible...

they want to present this BIG GAME with all this excitement and then you see the empty seats...

[cgbg]

My analogy for ESPN is it started as a beautiful and alluring teenage girl.

Today it is a screeching ugly witch—strung out on meth—limping her way to the grave while pointing her scraggly fingers at everyone else and howling how ugly they look!

[joma89]

I no longer pay for cable. Does little loser van pelt know there are other sources of entertainment in this world besides books read by candle light?

Typical, hateful liberal. Let espn burn.

Not only that, but dish and cable have competition. I have Roku TV, which is cheap because many channels have no charge, and others I can choose to subscribe and pay for individually, unlike Cable where I pay for the whole set whether or not I watch all of it.
