Nigga turtle? Disney Channel is fucked they went full retard SJW
NEVER go full SJW
being bad at analysis and pushing a political narrative isn't profitable apparently
huh
most of the people getting laid off are behind the camera people, not announcers, analysts, hosts
No m8
The initial layoff was 300 camera operators and board operators and such. This one is specificaly on camera talent. Hosts and analysts. Contract buyouts expected.
How in the world can you afford to lay off 300 camera operators. How many do they have?
Have you seen how many college football games are streamable on watchespn
I sometimes change the channel when the radio shit comes on like Lebatard or Mike n Mike. They alone have like 20 people minimum in production.
>television is 47% of disney's income
>yfw espn takes down the company with it
Alot of those people aren't full time employees though
You mean Mike and Kike
desu idk WHO the Star Wars rights should belong to
they weren't great with Lucas at the helm
you dream too big
all they have to do is shit out another awful ironman or star wars movie and they'll recoup a year of losses from espn
they'll just jack up the prices to Disneyland again
let me guess this has to do with the retarded amount they payed for the NBA?
>ESPN
>sunday night baseball game
>over by the first inning
man ESPN just cannot catch a break
Their Sunday Night Baseball commentary team is atrocious as well.
Proof Trump is ruining our country
I want them to burn and suffer
Maybe
They've also lost a lot of viewers and subscriptions so they're losing profits.
They do that even when things are fine
They're going to just layoff all the white people
Michael Smith, Jemele Hill, Stephen A Smith, Linda Cohn, Doris Burke, Jessica Mendoza off the top of my head can all go bye bye. You also don't need a 3 team booth anymore. Too much yackety yack. Sideline reporters can go to. You don't need to interview a coach or manager right before the game starts or talk to them before/after halftime.
>Proof Trump is ruining our country
Good.
Yeah, Trump is going door to door telling people to cut cords or he will kill them...
This.
they aren't going to get rid of Hill already when they have invested so much to make the "6" as obnoxious as it is.
Unless it has hurt them enough, does anyone know the ratings/figures for it?
They have a woman commentator now
Who?
And why?
Also Ive grown to love my local FSSW announcer. Me and Tom Grieve go way back now.
Jessica Mendoza.
She unironically compares her college softball experiences to Major League Baseball
about 20% of people watching espn at 5:59 turn it off at 6 when it starts
please gas that bitch doing the spurs commentary
...
>She unironically compares her college softball experiences to Major League Baseball
Bravo ESPN
>Moving all these contracts to hire based Bill back.
ESPN would've been better served by firing half of their on air talent in order to pay Skip Bayless's contract
he was one of the very few on that channel worth watching and him with Stephen A was perfect
>More sports/entertainment jobs going away
>All entry-level positions in the sports/entertainment business have been replaced by unpaid internships and volunteer work
>Will never, ever be fixed because the U.S. economy has been bad for nearly a decade now
Please kill me.
>yfw FS1 surpasses ESPN in viewership despite having no major rights deals
Skip gets like 5 viewers on FS1. If he was that big of a draw he would be doing better than that.
Won't happen. There's some law in America that ESPN must be on in every single bar/gym/office/public place
They already did. At least the seasonal pass for disney world went up. I just renewed.
5 viewers and Shannons granmawmaw
I hope it includes all the foreign cunts on ESPN FC. They should be arrested and deported immediately.
I wonder what the real viewship is, I don't know one person who still watches
I'd love to know how many tv's not in restaurants, bars, and casinos watch espn programming
Boone is alright, but yeah the other two are beneath of the street tier.
Sexist and racist detected sad
no one watches FS1 either you fucking dope
I just flat out don't understand why ESPN needs to have live sportscenters on so often. They know that people aren't really coming there to watch highoights since they can get them online now.
Just have like three Sportscenters. One in the morning that you replay on down hours until ATH/PTI.
One post-ATH/PTI that you replay in empty space until the Van Pelt midnight one, and replay that one or whatever all night
Get rid of the los angeles studio.
They are just so stuck, because they have to have live sports rights to stay alive as a sports channel, but the fees are not equivocating with a drop in cable subscriptions.
unironically this
the network is dying so they will do what all dying companies do and pander solely to minorities and talk about how diverse they are, which strangely attracts white libshits
I hope you're not serious
ESPN is owned by Disney. Disney is owned by Jews. If anything, Trump would make ESPN great again. Most likely won't happen tho. The Jews will continue to put SJW's and feminists on ESPN. So glad I was never a subscriber
If Tony or Mike are gone I'm done forever
>tfw leaf sportscenter is better than US sportscenter now cause of that sc6 garbage
what are they thinking
but lebatard is actually good. mike and mike is the shitty show with bland sports talk
Mike and Mike was the beginning of the end for ESPN
I want Sup Forums to leave
but no one really listens to radio that much. e!spn was still good for like 7 years after they joined. the end was the brett favre drama
HOL UP
WE

>TNT
>discussing actual sports
>comfy lighthearted jokes and genuine warm moments
>ESPN
>inflated statistics
>gossip
Don't watch ESPN unless a game is on. Just saw a commercial for that negro sports center. They were playing dominoes with ice cube.
whoa I can relate to that!
>ended up being a game til the 8th
fuck you
FS1 has better rights deals than espn
NASCAR > NBA
tnt crew is good
espn is shit
Trump is buddy buddy with the jews though
>huge Isreal supporter
>let his daughter marry a jew and convert to judaism
MISERABLE Sup Forums MEMES AND SHIT
fuck off back to your proper boards
Do you mongoloids seriously not know how ratings work? Still? Literally every thread!
IF IT IS NOT A NEILSEN BOX (hint: bars don't have neilsen boxes) IT DOESN'T COUNT
this
No one cares what the coaches have to say during the game. They're all Belichick in that regard. Better off just showing replays.
espn is failing because the core concept of the channel is obsolete, all of their shows are replaced by the Internet. the only thing they have left is live sports.
Racists like Jemele Hill, Bomani Jones, and Sarah Spain have to go first.
Wow it's almost as if people don't like being talked down to and having everything being politicized.
Less subscribers and leagues charging more each year to broadcast their games so their profits are dropping. FS1 is losing subscribers also just because people are just cutting cords all the time. Anyone that thinks it unironically has to do with politics/sjw's is delusional.
she also talked about when sliding to base the runner should act like they got to base before a tag because the umps look at the player's actions
it was during a mets game against the dodgers or someone and after I heard that I immediately went to listen to it on radio and switch to another game
I don't mind having a woman, we have men who never played the game do analysis and work, but this shit boils my blood.
Women shouldn't be allowed comment on sports, I don't need some cunt who knows nothing of what she's talking about, becoming a protected species because refusing to respect a retarded slut pretending to know sports is sexist
As I said you can know sports and not have played them.
If Happy Hour + Highly Questionable and Mike x2 get fucked I'm dropping ESPN
Literally the only shows I watch now, except for when I'm feeling like sitting through NFL live when important stuff is happening
KANGZ
I fucking know it already. Theyre gonna get rid of White men like Isola and Paige on ATH and keep muh faggot Israel and stronk dyke Fagan
Fagan is good though.
They should get rid of Spain instead
Kek, wrong.
You've never had an athletic victory in your life so I wouldn't want to waste my time on your armchair commentary either
So you think Buster Olney is shit? Ken Rosenthal?
What we're you so talented at? Ran away from Emus fastest?
Two words can save ESPN.
Lumberjack Games.
wow poopeelia btfo
saved to my American wit scrapbook
>tfw ESPN Deportes is the only decent thing left
Stephen A Smith busy counting his money
Never forget
star wars is long dead la, time to let go
recipie for success for ESPN:
1) Have only 1 sportscenter, played in the morning recapping what happened the day before and setting a schedule for what is to come
2)Use ESPN 2 STRICTLY for memetastic shows like around the horn and PTI (fyi, if you watch that shit, youre a sheep being told what to think)
3)Play live sports on ESPN.
4) Become the worldwide leader in sports again
5) Have it continuous, only commercial breaks at timeouts, and breaks in play.
6) On stupid random, slow moving days, play crazy shit like badmitton or extreme chess.
7) ???
8) Profit
honest to god, its not that hard to become profitable. just broadcast sports. literally thats all you need to do. is broadcast sports. Not become a sports news channel. you have a multitude of sports to choose from, and many more without broadcasting contracts in which you could literally set the price for.
So far, your biggest are as follows: MLB, NBA, Masters, shitty football games (no MNF), and Wimbledon.
Do you really dump all of your cash on these? the Masters and Wimbledon are kinda fucking retarded too, theyre literally memes. you need to give the NHL a contract, you need to expand worldwide and show cool shit like olympic meme type sports. deathmarch every now and then didnt hurt anyone.
Im just saying, and this wont reach the right people ever, but theyve really gone off on a tangent here with these sensationalized meme shows with retarded faggots spewing retarded shit for a larger audience.
I mean that shit was cool in 07 because it was new, it was a fresh meme, but this shit isnt fresh anymore. its an old meme..
go back to sports. for gods sake
>remove everything that's profitable from ESPN
>8) Profit
Americans are so fat and stupid.
>profitable
>ESPN
Do you know what else is profitable? Having a job.
please dont fling your excrement on the keyboard, you sound retarded.
my 8 step process is flawless
