I'm really wondering about this. Maybe I just don't watch enough ESPN, but what agenda?

ESPN has shows?

I didn't realize it had anything other than Monday Night Football and

Jayhawk basketball...

Who would have thunk? :shrug:

Fine by me. Too much East/West coast bias. Can also toss in SEC bias as well.

Good riddance.

Can't believe they went with Michael and Jemele for prime time sportscenter. Guess they are going full Winn Dixie/KFC over there.

Agree on all points.

Live sports is the only reason to watch ESPN.

MLBN & NFLN have killed ESPN as far as I'm concerned. Breaking news I go to them instead of ESPN.

A little of both. ESPN tends to push their agenda a little too hard for my taste.

They USED to be my go to watch way back in the day when I worked nights. I always enjoyed watching the worlds strongest man competition, Aussie Rules football and they used to show a lot of boxing. I can't even watch SC anymore. It's not sports driven anymore, it's star athlete driven. If you want to hear about something other than the biggest most popular or most controversial athletes ESPN isn't the place to go.

Maybe spending $125 million on that new set wasn't such a good idea.

Giving Bruce(Caitlyn)Jenner the Arthur Ashe Courage Award for heroism, endorsing militant pressure group Black Lives Matter at the ESPYs, firing Curt Schilling for not being more supportive about transgender bathrooms and awarding President Obama a spurious “First Fan” award as part of its MLK Day tribute.

There was also the NFL-National Anthems controversy in which ESPN seemed to sympathize with the anti-American actions of Colin Kaepernick, and when the network turned a blind eye when panelist Kevin Blackistone called the national anthem a “war anthem.”

This is exactly what they need to do; show the obscure stuff.

Cable

KODI

Was just about to say that without Berman hosting the Countdown/Primetime shows, I now have zero reason to watch any ESPN programming at all... I hope they go bankrupt

The new 6 pm Diversity!!! sportscenter is an abomination

Exactly. If you're not some urbanite metrosexual drone who has a Tom Brady jersey hanging next to a Stephen Curry jersey next to a Kris Bryant jersey next to LeBron James jersey next to a Peyton Manning jersey, thinks soccer is great, buys into the notion that Bruce Jenner and Colin Kaepernick are ****ing heroes, roots for Kansas or Kentucky in basketball even though you couldn't find either state on a map, and thinks that Coors Light is the best beer in the world, they do not seek your business.

This is a big part of their problem. ESPN has positioned itself as a network for (a) people who religiously follow the NBA and (b) people who aren't really sports fans, like millennial SJWs

Cable TV is what it is, it's a dying business, but ESPN is doing themselves no favors by pissing off every workaday sports fan out there.

Remember when it was all highlights and stats and it didn't seem like you'd tune in and ever see the same thing twice? When they showed sports besides basketball more than every once-in-a-while?
