Yep, BET agrees.
I think Enfuego you would agree on 1 thing.. all the blacks on espn need to stop race baiting, and adopt a Men first attitude. Also, they need more white representation.
To fix espn, they need to be men first... the answer isn't a race thing.. it's a man first, women are dummies thing.. that chick on first take needs to be forced to wear a tshirt with no fkng bra,
And everything she talks they need to throw a cup of water at her tiddies.. lol
Now that SHIT WOULD GET SOME RATINGS!!! LOLOL
it's not about black and whites... it's about being funny, and NOT BEING TOO GDM SERIOUS...
Tiddies... beer... and goofiness!!

I liked the RX Thread that explored the contributing factors to ESPN's demise cuz guys introduced ideas ("whys") that hadn't occurred to me, some real "Out of The Box" thinking by guys, in that thread. Appears that thread got deleted though cuz I can't find it. My opinion is that "Cord-Cutting" is the main reason for ESPN's decline, combined with a Deja-Vu-like inability to find a way to monetize Online Platform, similar to how the Big Record Companies failed to adapt.
Personally though I don't know that "adequately" Monetizing Online Sports Platform was even a viable goal....managing to get enough paying subscribers....for ESPN or any Sports Information outlet.
How anyone can view the direction that ESPN chose to take: Siding with Liberal Ideologies and Obvious & Embarrassing Pandering to Black People as anything other than a decision to wave The White Flag of Surrender, is beyond me. First Year Business Student could have identified that this was simply not going to work, where the goal was to sustain ESPN.
TateHill's recommendation would have been infinitely better: Focus on Breasts. Make Titties the Sun within your Programming Universe.
Its easy to imagine how Political Correctness could derail that, put The Kabbutz on that idea but concluding that PC/Liberal Consultants/Staffers at ESPN managed to get Disney & ESPN's Handlers to agree to just "Take The Red Pill" is much more difficult.
Personally I'd really love to see the research that was done which led to ESPN's decision to Paint It Black, and Minutes from the meetings that led to the decision to embrace the Content they've chosen. Man, that would be fascinating. I do expect some very good books to come from this, along with some real valuable Business School teaching material, Communications...Sports Broadcasting as well.
Those who go "Big Picture", view The Panaroma 360 degree View see the possibility of some Teachable Moments within Schools of Philosophy, Sociology and American Studies as well via the birth, from this particular Black Hole Implosion that is ESPN, of the question:
"Is The Appropriate Attonement for White Privilege & Correct Punishment for The History of White Heterosexual Males in America for "CIS-Gendered" White Guys to Kill Themselves?"
ESPN appears to have arrived at "Yes", in answer to this question.
Occam's Razor answer though feels like Disney is maneuvering a real nice Tax Write-off here, and the decision to sink the ship is about a longer-term +EV $$$$ situation for Disney than it is "political correctness."
I certainly could be wrong on that though....."PC" Crap has as large a role as you seem to believe, enfuego....man, that would be utterly fascinating.
Eighteen, yeah I had no idea. That many wound up in that post
yeah, 18 is too many.What "truth"? That "truth" that exists only within the brains of guys Most Primitive among us here, on Earth? Guys that are of the very Lowest Intelligence of Mankind? That "Truth" that a human not born Male should be treated as a lesser being? 2nd Class Citizen? Inferior?
To Man?
Inferior? To a "Man" such as yourself?
You're not a Man, you're a Suicide In Progress. Just too cowardly thus far to "pull it."
No Possibilty exists that anything could be Inferior to yourself, males like you who've come to believe that Females are "Sub-Human" or whatever twisted thing it is that you believe, in that regard.
Somewhere along the course of your life something went dreadfully wrong.
My Main Want, my whole Life has been: Peace On Earth. Being of the opinion that Raising Up via Encouragement & Support our Daughters, Sisters and other Females would be to behave in a manner most conducive to as Peaceful a planet as possible. Fanatical Misogyny like you're afflicted with, can only contribute to the opposite of Peace on Earth, and Peace within one's own Self. No way that you harbor such a deep degree of Despise for Females that you do and are anything but absolutely Miserable. Maybe by even replying to you I am just trying to destroy the walls of The Prison that you've made for yourself, and that you're now trapped in withering away. Being Supportive of Females does not require a guy be a "feminist", a "homo" or any of the other labels you apply. Its "Wrong Thinking", dude: to be so deeply Anti-Female as you are. I've not "seen" this degree of despise for Girls too often and never ever seen this have a Happy Ending, for that Hater.
Start, lolz69, by watching UCLA and Nicole Kornet on Saturday vs. BOISE who they should get past to advance to face Texas A&M who they may very well lose to but if they don't then they will have to face a team from Connecticut with a coach named "Geno" and is a team that is....
pretty good. Pretty Pretty.....Good. As Larry David would put it.
Nicole & The Bruins on a Crash Course with UCONN. Getting past TX A&M a Big Test. Which if they pass.......then Nicole and The LadyBruins face The Biggest Test of All lolz69.

Disney Could Be Buying a Substantial Part of FOX, Which Is a Huge Deal for ESPN
Wow. Big news today.
From CNBC:Walt Disney Co. and 21st Century Fox are closing in on a deal and it could come as soon as next week, according to sources familiar with the matter.CNBC has been reporting that Disney has held talks with the Rupert Murdoch-controlled media company to acquire its studio and television production assets, leaving Fox with its news and sports assets. Fox is also talking to CNBC parent company Comcast, but the talks with Disney have progressed more significantly.The deal contemplates the sale of Fox’s A&E, Star, regional sports networks, movie studios and stakes in Sky and Hulu, among other properties. What would remain at Fox includes its news and business news divisions, broadcast network and Fox sports.
Disney will reportedly get FOX’s regional sports networks, which are basically everywhere there is not a NBC Sports regional network. What the deal won’t include, however, is FS1.
The deal will have a huge impact across the entertainment and media landscape, including sports. If it goes through as reported, Disney (ABC, ESPN) would instantly have a sports network in a substantial number of major cities. That would include the broadcast rights for, oh, just the Thunder, Cavs, Cardinals, Hawks, Braves, Mavericks, Spurs, Heat and Yankees, among many others. FOX would retain FOX Sports (network broadcasts) and FS1.
On the surface, this would seem like a great deal for Disney (ESPN) since regional sports networks are indispensable to sports fans– even those who cut the cord wind up with a service like PlayStation Vue or YouTube TV, which pay fees to those networks. Some Tweets on the matter:

This is the story of the day. From Disney's perspective, I totally get it. From Fox's? Unless they are bailing on sports entirely (NFL, CFB, etc) on the broadcast net and Disney is just saying NAH to FS1...I don't get it. https://twitter.com/ericjackson/status/938055430160314369 …

Stop what? ESPN: HUGE affiliate fees. RSN's: HUGE affiliate fees. FS1: OK affiliate fees. Fox broadcast: has lagged (particularly relative to CBS) growing affiliate fees. The business models look different to me and the RSN/ESPN version looks like a much better model to me. https://twitter.com/medic564/status/938064933966745601 …

If this winds up being true, you cannot overstate how massive a paradigm shift this is in sports media. Most Fox Sports profits come from RSNs. Wonder if/how these could be integrated into ESPN OTT. Wow. https://twitter.com/ericjackson/status/938055430160314369 …

What’s more, last year FOX Sports cited in their own press release the importance of regional sports networks:FOX Sports today released the results of “The 5th Network: Regional Sports Network Passion Index,” a Nielsen Media Analytics Primary Research study finding that sports fans rate regional sports networks (RSNs) as their most essential non-broadcast channels.
Just spitballing here, but ESPN has lacked a “TV” (now including streaming video) presence in individual markets, leaving sports fans to turn elsewhere for local game broadcasts. They won’t get one everywhere now, but they’ll have one in a lot of cities, which suddenly makes for a no so fast, my friends to those hastening the demise of ESPN. We can all do without First Take, but can we do without our hometown MLB and NBA games? Probably not. I wouldn’t be shocked if an eventual ESPN streaming option included local sports in the cities where they would own RSNs, making it a must-subscribe for sports fans.
Meanwhile, FOX has an increasingly polarizing FOX News, and FS1, which is good for basically nothing but Villanova basketball and making fun of Nick’s Wright giant fucking nose.
