Dear ESPN

You're a rightie and they fired people for being leftists.

Yeah, guess you're right. They did fire the wrong people.

The leftist bosses who made terrible decisions regarding MNF and the NBA kept their jobs and the other lefties lost theirs.

ESPN still sucks whether I'm right or left.

 

[Rightguide]

Of course not. Offending large blocks of your current or potential customers over things that have nothing to do with the entertainment you are delivering could not possibly come with any negative consequences.

At a time when you're having to adjust the shifting market conditions, that's probably the very best time to engage in unwelcome social experiments.

It's amazing how inherent left wing posturing never has anything to do with media failure, despite the fact that left wing media fails all across the board when compared to more balanced or conservative broadcasting.

I stopped watching ESPN after they made Bruce Jenner "Freak of the Year". I didn't recognize any of the names of the employees they let go.

He was awful but still very recognizable. I got a list of similar folks for the NFL network if they ever decide to purge.

ESPN

East Coast Sports Network!

How many talk shows can you have on in a row to hash the same topics and express the same views just different ways? There are at least three in a row on the west coast between ESPN and ESPN 2 depending on Cable network.

ESPN has overpaid for every contract they have entered into NFL,NBA,MLB,NCAA not to mention this and that College Network. Why do I see ESPN in Spanish at 3 am? Don't force feed me.

ESPN laid off aka fired
Dr. Jerry Punch 30 years CFB,NASCAR,

Ed Werder 17 Years NFL Most reliable besides Motensen and Adam Schecter.

Jason Stark 17 Years MLB

Not to mention Trey Wingo and Britt McHenry who are partaking in the NFL draft and have been told they are done. Props to them.

But ESPN keeps the likes of Stephen A Smith who causes trouble stirs the pot daily and is very outspoken. Makes you think.

Well obviously you didn't because they were doing breast cancer awareness years before the others existed and black lives matter was at least a year before the thing with that asshole.
And why would anyone have a problem with the breast cancer campaign? Do the pink shoes really bother you that much?

It was the cumulative buildup, the rules changes, and then the final straw was when a guy, raised by white people, elevated by white people, and paid out the wazoo by the team owners and the fans who filled the stadium to cheer him on decided that he was going to make a statement about how unfair life is for minorities...

Dear ESPN:

Thank you for playing the Joe Mixon video last night and letting all of America see NFL 'integrity' in action as well as their deep concern for 'personal conduct.' The same can be said for his school who has no qualms whatsoever about having an animal on their campus as long as he can play football.

'probably know' or be 'generally aware' of air being let out of a ball or smoke a joint while chilling out at home and you're suspended. Up to a year for smoking weed which is now becoming legalized. But beat a woman? Have it on film so it can't be denied? Welcome aboard!

Despicable.

ESPN is shit even if it is affiliated with politics. Bunch of bastards.
