exactly. I'm not discounting that people are annoyed by the non sports, social stuff. I am too. But people aren't cancelling their entire cable package because of ESPN's political views. Not in significant numbers, anyway. That's illogical. It's just not the reason for the drop in subscribers.
I agree it is a minority. That said, we've had plenty of threads on the forum in the past on people deciding to cut the cord or not and a very common reason for staying was not wanting to lose out on ESPN and other sports programming...and it was their ONLY reason. So if a person is already tempted to cut the cord and tired of paying the huge bill each month, it just seems very reasonable that this could have pushed them over the edge.
