Hammer falls at ESPN .... 100 on air gone

the dookie-V network became way too over-the-top pro puke and way too political from 2008-2016. Touting Colon Kaperprick every hour on the hour, making everything about race all day long takes a toll on 80% of the country. People cut the cord with ESPN. Loss of viewership and therefore add revenue = drastic cuts.
 
Right? Here's what I don't get. About 50% of the country leans right, politically. Sure it's not exactly 50 percent, but for our purposes of this discussion, it is. So why in the world would you actively condone and encourage your on-air personalities -- most of whom probably lean left -- to talk politics on the air? You're alienating half of your potential customer. It's why I never understand why companies make politically-charged ads. Unless you're a mega corp like Coca-Cola or Apple where you have billions of customers and you won't feel it if a couple million walk away, then you should stay away from supporting a political side. It isn't good business.
See the last idiot Super Bowl adds. More political BS, I tuned them out after the first couple of timeouts...
 
Ha. No but she is gorgeous. Morning Sportscenter seems to have 20 hosts. Plenty of others to cut from that show.
 
The new "SC at 6" is a microcosm of the downfall of that network.

I heard the dude from that show (I honestly don't know his name) defend "Mr." Ball's comments about "winning with white guys" by saying it's not racist because he "doesn't have power."

That's just dumb. I don't care what your politics are. Their show is so overtly racial I have no idea how anybody ever thought it was a good idea.

Michael Smith, and he actually did say it exactly like how you said it. He was like "come on, this dude doesn't have any power. It's not a big deal." For some reason, I found myself watching it on the day they talked about that. It's one of like 3 times I've watched the show, each for about 3 minutes each.

Another time, they showed a video of a player (don't know what sport or team) getting arrested for public disturbance for refusing to cooperate with police. And Jemele Hill straight-up was questioning police and saying "I didn't realize you could get arrested for that..." and being all sarcastic and judgmental.

Like, come on.
 
Something tells me Michael Smith and Jemele Hill would be singing a different tune if I made a YouTube video that went viral in which I pointed out that only one black QB has won the super bowl in my lifetime (Wilson) and tried to use that as rationalization that black players didn't have what it takes to play QB in the NFL - even though I have no power. They'd use that as a talking point for a month, and tear me to shreds.

I was going to add Doug Williams, but then saw the part about "in your lifetime" and figured you were born after 1988.

Jemele Hill has always been a race baiter. She is their female Jason Whitlock.
