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

[cartierhoe]

Not sure why anyone would think cats like Screaming A, Mike and Jemele would be getting canned they get the most advertising out of anyone whenever I see ESPN on tv at home or at bars commercials stay on loops. They at the top tier of who ESPN pushing in this era and Bomani had just signed a new deal he wasn't even an option.

Yep them cats are extra safe, commercials play every break lmao

If all of these people are losing jobs, the CEO and his administration should go too.

right? those are the idiots who didn't take changing viewing habits into consideration prior to bidding on these contracts, let alone admittedly overbidding just to spite competition. now they got a product peo0ple aint even watching on their network which they footed the entire bill for. gonna be real interesting when these contracts come up for renewal in the mid 20's, the leagues are either taking a big blow or i fully expect sports rights to be equally divided between broadcast and streaming such as prime, youtube, facebook, etc.

Really don't get why cacs hate Mike and Jemele so much, there's been a bunch of other sports talking heads that talk politics but I guess since they don't agree on their views...

I have a strange feeling that it's not over and that they'll start cutting NBA reporters after the finals.
