Say Goodbye to those ESPN Personalities Ya'll Love So Much: Official ESPN Layoffs Thread

[dora_da_destroyer]

I don't get the hate for ESPN's current embrace the debate format cause pre-cold pizza days was horrible for live content lol it was looped sports center and chess competitions all day. Even with the repeat opinions I think they do a pretty good job at building hype for athletes, teams, and the weeks games which ultimately is what there suppose to do.

how many shows in a row do you need people debating the same exact topics and in the same fukking order? this is the social media era, "personalities" and hot takes are a dime a dozen and people gravitate to the more "authentic" voices nowadays, not the big corporate celebs. there is so much more ESPN can be doing with their channel(s) that still revolves around sports but doesn't include 4 hours of first take, 2-3 hours of NFL live followed by an hour of NFL insider

good

what type of fukkboi response is that? people about to lose their jobs right in the middle of the holidays in an industry that's quickly contracting....that's fukked up

I think bold is the problem. You can tell fake from authentic views nowadays. You have certain stories that are discussed one way on espn type shows that even when you have the discussion here has different takes. People can see that where before the internet they couldn't. That's why I think that style is dying out and they could also use some new blood that at least feels more "authentic"

Yeah they're all saying the same exact things too. Nobody needs all that. Especially since BSPN is PC so there's only so much they can say anyways

ESPN probably leaked this shyt just to scare their employees and get them to toe the company line and stop talking about Trump and the bullshyt with the NFL.

Y'all do realize the result of all this will not be more creative programming for ESPN but them replaying games on all their networks.

She should. She's cute but also mad annoying. Can't stand listening to her. She's definitely one to watch on mute.
