I gave two reason. Cutting the cable AND perceived political bend. I meant those to be two mutually exclusive reasons.
Do you have any examples of the political leanings? I haven't watched ESPN a ton so I'm sure I missed it.

They have black people anchors and show highlights with blacks playing sports - so it must be liberal
They featured a lacrosse highlight the other night. That's pretty "conservative".
But it's weird, because these threads always have 99% of responses saying how they don't watch. But it's kinda like the Kardashians, somebody must be watching or the shows wouldn't be on anymore.
So much this. The B1G model of conference expansion was entirely predicated on uninterested eyeballs still subscribing to cable TV and giving ESPN their carriage fees. This model hurt teams like ISU, with dedicated fan followings that don't dictate a large amount of TV market. The bust will hurt the financials of every college team, but ISU will likely come out of it better than most of the teams relying on TV markets that don't even know they exist.A bubble is guaranteed to burst for all of televised sports when the smart financial payday move for a conference with sports brands like Michigan and Ohio State is to add brands like Rutgers.
Well, in ESPNs defense those shows require on air "talent" that is already under contract and nothing else..Yeah, I personally hate all the opinion/people yelling at each other shows but obviously people are watching them otherwise they wouldn't be cancelling everything else in favor of that type of show.
right, and one of those reasons doesn't make any damned sense. Or do you no longer see a dentist because the last dentist you had was a liberal? You've stopped reading any newspapers because the Register printed a column you didn't like. You can't even watch the news anymore because that one guy on that one station is a complete leftist hippie.

The article I linked to gave about a half dozen.Do you have any examples of the political leanings? I haven't watched ESPN a ton so I'm sure I missed it.
Not any actually persuasive ones unless he's found new ones since the last time he took this stupid position.Do you have any examples of the political leanings? I haven't watched ESPN a ton so I'm sure I missed it.
ESPN is garbage. I can remember a time where I'd rarely turn anything else on. Now, unless it's coverage of an event I want to watch, I avoid it at all costs.
The other day I was at a restaurant from about 3:00 to 5:00. The TV next to me had ESPN on and while I couldn't hear it, all the shows had a bar on the side setting forth the topics being discussed. It was literally 3 different shows of them talking about the exact same thing.
Nah, that's most played on the coasts so it's a liberal sportThey featured a lacrosse highlight the other night. That's pretty "conservative".
