The mere existence of Jamele Hill on your network has poisoned the well for at least two decades. Who would go back to watching after such an in-your-face display of contempt for white Americans as putting her in any role of importance?

uuuuuhhhhhh, No $hit Dick Tracy, but you still had to pee on that electric fence a few times before you finally came to that conclusion, didn’t you.

This is the antithesis to “get woke, go broke.” Someone at ESPN saw that happening and brought in new leadership to turn things around, is what this looks like. A welcome sign.

LOL. Unbelievable gaslighting. Literally last week I saw ESPN on in a restaurant and they were pushing “criminal justice reform” on a program. AKA Christmas for Criminals. I guess liberal orthodox is not “politics” to the cultural Marxists running ESPN.

Doh!... That took way to long for ESPN to figure out.

Like movie stars and other celebs... The opinions of sports figures and commentators really do not matter to the common people. Their ratings are down the tubes and will continue that way until they cover sports... That’s kind of why they existed in the first place.

Our internet provider is Comcast Business, and the picture quality seems to get better with each update.

It is a very fast and stable internet platform.

At first we had some delays in getting a video picture, and that has been eliminated.

Our tv is 4 years old and the picture is excellent.

We did the same and we are saving over $200/month.

“I am one of those millions who were paying $6 a month to ESPN from my cable bill. I cut the cord specifically because I no longer was going to support them or CNN, MSNBC, PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. Never going back. They lost me forever. I am free at last.”

I won’t do business with Comcast. Partly due to MSNBC. Partly due to having worked for Comcast. I was talking to a customer on the phone and had to mute a tv in the next cubicle that was unoccupied. It had some ghetto movie where every third word was the effenheimer. I did not need that bleeding over into a business call. That got me fired, with the manager calling me a racist white mfer.

People love to hear ignorant know nothing jocks ramble on with poor opinions.

Especially when we compare jock ignorance to other well formed smart talkers in a competition of ideas.

Let me simplify.

Jock is stupid.
Seasoned talker is smart.

Why stay tuned to ESPN? NEVER.

Alex Jones dominates you.
Rush Limbaugh crushes ESPN dicks.
Dennis Prager destroys you.
David Knight humiliates Sports losers.

ESPN are losers.

I know ESPN is low IQ. But this makes sense. Jocks are losers.

Great comment. That is right. Each of us consumers are evolving to pay only for a Connection only.

It is the consumer’s money to choose what they want on that connection. Whether your cellphone or TV entertainment, it is not the connection company who should decide what to watch.

I welcome the evolution to busybody free internet connections.

I just discovered Pluto TV for nanny free mindless movies.

Too late, ESPN.

You are forever on my sh!t list.

5 years now with an antenna, and I’m perfectly happy.

I belie e he got the wrong message. By covering politics we began to see who they (ESPN) really were. And they can cover all of the politics they want.

We just don’t want ESPN. We have seen who you really are and we reject you out of hand!!!

Just go away.

Do you watch ESPN regularly?

Not for years.

Which sports do you like?

Hockey.

Frankly ESPN is going to fall under the "to little, to late" category. This is unfortunate for them.

But you have to wonder what brainiac thought mixing sports with politics was a GOOD idea.
