"ESPN is poised to slash an estimated $80 million in salaries and other costs in coming weeks," sources tell Sporting News.

The third round of layoffs in two years at the Disney-owned sports network is expected to come down after Thanksgiving and before Christmas.

Sports commentator Stephen A Smith mentioned ESPNs left wing political takes are a major reason to their sagging ratings and viewer counts.

Stephen A is onto something......These dolts think that the public wants to get into the politics of sports. Ratings show them wrong.

Folks can only take so much when they tune in looking for actual sports on the field, court, track, course, etc. And folks care even less about some biased exjock's opinion.

There's a lingerie football league out there somewhere that will attract a helluva lot more viewers than Stephen A debating Skip over some lackluster topic. Stick to what people want, not what some exec feels to be societal awareness better known as elitist guilt......

Not watching sports (or award shows and late night shows) to hear politics. Some of these hosts think they can pick their audience.....sorry assholes, it's the other way around.
Tell half the viewers you don't want their business, you will get their wish. Two years from now, the surviving entertainment/sports offerings will be completely different. The smug, one-sided entertainment organizations will be in BK. #RevokeNFLAntiTrustExemption and you will put the billionaire owners and spoiled millionaire players on their knees begging to have things like they used to be before this nonsense.

I'll start watching these pussies when they get back to Ray Nitschke and Tommy Nobis football. These jackass players of today are a bunch of asswipes. They get paid the big bucks and don't have to take anywhere near a hit like the previous FOOTBALL players did. Fuck these new day players.
