And so, let the bribery begin!
ESPN is no longer a sports network, but that’s an understatement, isn’t it? We’ve known for a while that the former sports network giant forewent its humble beginnings as a network for the sports junkie in all of us to no less than a political arm of the Progressive wing of the Democrat Party.
There was a time when sports was all that mattered to ESPN. They grew up in Bristol, Connecticut, at a time when there was a dirge of sports coverage outside of Sports Illustrated and the New York Times, or the Daily News and the Post. Once men (and women) viewed this 24/7 sports network for the first time, it was all they could do to contain their naked joy as they dash to the kitchen for a beer and the chips.
ESPN grew so exponentially quick as to seem impervious to fear or trepidation and risked losing nothing when it came to how much sports coverage they could cobble together in one hour-long update. When a network could reference Olympic curling with the zeal of a Viking, you knew that ESPN was on the path to greatness.
Of course, that is, until social justice waltzed into the picture. It’s no secret that ESPN is in financial straits these days. It’s no joke that they shut off funding of extra buildings on multiple purchased lots in the Constitution State. It’s also no exaggeration to reference the many hundreds of employees that have gotten their pink slips in recent years.
Why all this upheaval and top-heavy teetering? Let’s just say that the National Football League (NFL) is at the center of their troubles and it didn’t start with “taking the knee!” Read on the next page about the rapid decline of both ESPN and the NFL!
Yes and yes
So now the NFL supports terrorists financially. After all their patriotic BS after 9/11.
It cannot possibly work!!!! This isn’t even close to a “NICE TRY”, it’s pathetic and unreasonable!!!
Those entitled NFL “slaves” still haven’t learned. I put the word “slaves” in quotes because even though the players are the property of their teams, they can retire and walk away from football any time they want to. Plus, how could a professional football “slave” own his own home and make lots of money playing a sport that the majority of us only dream of playing? The spoiled rich NFL player needs to learn that he’s not irreplaceable. Some hungry lower salaried free agent can take his job, or he can suffer a career ending injury. And of course, the fans are no longer paying to see these entitled multimillionaire players. You just have to look at the pictures of the empty seats at the stadiums. My hope is that enough fans fail to show up at the games that the games are blacked out on TV in the home teams’ cities. Maybe not being seen on TV will jolt the protesting players back to reality.
Who cares.
Doesn’t matter still not watching
Boycott!
How many more will ESPN lay off before they get rid of the right people. You know, the ones that thought politics should be talked about instead of sports. Why should a sports network talk about SPORTS?
And when they all start protesting again, how much will they demand. Negotiating with terrorists is never a good idea.
Too late. We already know how they really feel and I resent they’re getting rewarded for their disgusting behavior.
