ESPN Profit Plummets As Network Turns Left

How else to explain the network's fixation on Tom Brady's friendship with Donald Trump? Did any athlete have to explain his or her friendship with Barack Obama? I don't recall it.



But of course you wouldn't recall it.



Because rather than explain that friendship every athlete was praised to the high heavens for being friends with Obama.



How else to explain the lionization of Colin Kaepernick for taking a knee during the national anthem or the Missouri protesters for their fake protest that has nearly killed the university? How else to explain the continued coverage of each athlete who doesn't visit the White House or the every critical word of the king of triggered millenials, LeBron James? How about the villainization of Peyton Manning for a twenty year old mooning, Ryan Lochte for peeing outside, and Grayson Allen for having the absolute gall to trip someone during a basketball game?



ESPN is so desperate for white guys to behave badly that they treated Manning, Lochte, and Allen like the white horsemen of the apocalypse. How dare these guys moon, pee, and trip?!






Who the fukk is this guy? :scust:
Racist piece of shyt

Exactly the executives at ABC just felt all the sports needed to go to ESPN. The NFL wasn't crazy about it but ESPN was still gonna pay crazy money for it even though it was on cable. Plus the NFL saw how the NBA was going the cable route with no reduction in money from the cable network so the NFL was cool with it.

This was actually a Disney corporate decision. The network execs have never had full autonomy like that. ABC barely has a sports department anymore, as it was absorbed into ESPN's operations.

Plus ESPN are hoards and don't want to share shyt in the Disney model.

Years ago before ESPN was bought out by disney they shared games with other networks with no problem.

Case in point Sunday Night Football was on ESPN and TNT. TNT would get the first 8 games and ESPN would get the last 8 games.

ESPN under disney has just gotten too big and too greedy. Just look at college football and how all the games are on ESPN. They won't even play that shyt on ABC which is stupid. You need network tv to get the advertisment dollars from the corporations.

Breh, you ain't heard of ABC Saturday Night Football? :gucci:

They air College Games all the time on ABC, they just use ESPN Graphics
