Football ESPN is Garbage - Page 4

I wanted to vent off here about this because it's way overdue. ESPN was once a great sports media back when guys like Stuart Scott, Dan Patrick, Rich Eisen and Kenny Mayne were doing their nightly casts. Or even before that when Bob Ley had just started Outside the Lines. Their main attraction was the iconic Monday Night Countdown with Chris Berman and Tom Jackson. They also aired the very successful NHL 2Night on ESPN2 with John Buccigross and Barry Melrose.

Today, ESPN is heralded by woke trash like Stephen A Smith. Their only great anchor is Mike Greenberg. They got rid of the only watchable football anchor in Trey Wingo. What really annoys me most though is their sports app. Every single time you click on the box score it shows the entire team lineup as if they designed it only for NBA games.:-)

Back in the day, ESPN was story driven and reported sports like the news. Now, ESPN is opinion and faux outrage driven. During summer breaks when I was a kid, I would watch sportscenter every morning. Now, I don't remember the last time I watched a full on episode of it

I have no fucking idea. Nothing about a guy from NY talking about his metrosexual life really jumped out as great commentary, but whatever.

You’re definitely a woke cult member considering how often you throw around racist, misogynist, etc.

So it’s not at all surprising that you aren’t bothered by the woke bs.

Simpler times. Back then they could dominate tv contracts and provide news and video highlights like nobody else. Now there's lots of competition to their bread and butter. So then they started worrying about clicks. They're seeing fallout to becoming a gossip show. So now they see the big opportunity for power and money is to take over college sports which they'll eventually destroy. At some point they have to be like blockbuster and recognize they will never be what they used to be.

This forum is packed with racism and misogyny and dipshits don’t like being called out on it.
