Why doesn't ESPN just play sports center or sport-specific wrap-up shows all day?

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

I was just thinking about this. Maybe I'm growing a bit conservative these days but I just can't take most of these shows and the announcers trying to be the focus of the highlights on every highlight all day and night. One or two personalities are cool but every second of every show, c'mon man. Most of them are lame as hell.

Highlights of home runs going on and we're hearing about ties matching socks. It's some kind of obscure shyt being talked about on every highlight unless it's a major, major sporting event

And they swear we want to know all about the goings on at the Bristol compound like its Magic City. I don't give a fukk about Bristol.

Who said u gotta watch every show tho?

It's always the try hard "I don't watch ESPN" nikkas that stay b1tching about ESPN

It's called conflict bias. All these "news" channels whether it's political channels like Fox or sports channels like ESPN have a conflict bias. Putting people on the air to shout and argue with each other brings ratings. So they keep doing it. Anything that would require hard work on their end or anything of substance gets the

At the end of the day, we have no one to blame but our selves. America gets dumber each year.

This is it right here. The climb of reality shows is what started this shyt. Who Loves New York, Flavor Of Love, Survivor, Love and Hip Hop etc. have always been based on the arguments, nobody really cared about who won it was all the drama inside of the show.

I'm one of the people who don't watch ESPN but I don't bytch about it either. When I was younger I saw the start of PTI and ATH, I watched Sports Reporters and Outside The Lines on Sunday and enjoyed the hell out of the shows. I think ESPN has over saturated their programming but it doesn't matter because they're still making money and I don't watch so they could care less.

what are ya'll shiftless ass nikkas doing all day that allows ya'll to have the time to watch all these daytime shows anyway. Watching ESPN all day was cool when I was 14 and stayed home sick from school, it ain't the move now as an adult.

Some DVR and some work the Night Shift...not every one works during the morning

Its why the Weather Channel doesn't show weather 24/7 anymore unless there a Hurricane, Blizzard, or Tornado Outbreak. There's hundreds of weather apps out there.

I used to love Storm Stories.
Those tornado episodes

You don't have to watch them to know that is what's being shown.

then my comment doesn't apply to you breh, the OP crying about this shyt being on during the day, go do or watch something else.

I only watch a couple of those on DVR and I know they all come on as well, my point is if you're(the OP) complaining about an 8hr block of daytime TV, then you need to go and get involved in something

Not to cape for dude but you could say this about any thread on the coli.

shyt I miss ESPNnews and SportsCenter being shown all the time because I could come home at anytime and catch highlights. I work two jobs now and sometimes get off late as fukk and have to jump on the laptop or use my phone to see highlights. I'd rather be laying the bed watching those highlights on my 50 inch in the bedroom but there is nothing for that anymore.

Point is I get what he's saying and I also get what you're saying.

Obviously as a consumer of sports and sports media we have the right to complain. I'm telling you why I don't watch a lot of the programming. I'm also telling you about what I would prefer to see. It's not like I'm sitting around with my arms folded watching and complaining.

It's no different than watching a sitcom you liked the first three seasons of and then not liking the next two. You just say what you would like to see them do with the show. It's not that you hate it, you just don't like the direction.

 

[onthereal]

I haven't sat down and watched sports center in over a year. I'm one of those sports fans who loves highlights and analysis and ESPN has been doing less of both.

wrong thread

 

[J-Fire]

Once beadle got Stephen A suspended in 2014 I stopped watching! Talking heads getting suspended over opinions??!?...what part of the game is that?

And let's not forget what happened to Rob Parker....

Those two incidents drove me away from ESPN. Too much agenda garbage and only one opinion allowed. Turned into Fox News and msnbc.
