Best believe that the investors at ESPN have calculated this move. All this does is create an ESPN diaspora of recognizable face for viewers to latch onto on multiple channels/platforms, thus raising the viewership of all the channels.
Fox Sports (which needs to grow to make up for the losses at Fox News), other channels, and internet outlets are about to eat. Hell, with this presidency, I wouldn't be surprised if people like Kraft and other big-wigs want a deregulated league, which allows them to negotiate their own individual media rights.
I know its way out there, but then again, 2017 has taught us expect the unexpected.

Idk if Disney is trying to help Fox, NBC, and Turner out. They pretty much compete with those entities in everything.

Damn...

ESPN brought this upon themselves, losing subscribers and overpaying for the NFL tv rights

When that Bristol area code pops up

Always comes back to blaming black people. They wont dare find the names of the people doing the firing and hold them accountable, rather scream at the black coworkers

Has Will Cain been fired

 

[King Jove]

and these cacs talk about loyalty in sports when athletes leave.

For those still employed at ESPN, don't pick up the phone today

This sucks, but like Tre said, MLB Network gonna be eating real good off of this, and I'm in for that. MLB Network comprises of ATLEAST 60% of my TV viewing.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Soccer is probably next on the chopping block......they opened a whole fukk ton of lanes for other folks to step into. NBC does NHL and Premier League right. Fox's MLB coverage was reviewed pretty good last year. I guess this means ESPN is planting their flag on the NFL, national college football games, and college basketball hill
