This is sad. Now even less people will be watching ESPN.

They let all them go but kept Perk???

THe downfall literally started the day they got political! Just do sports

Does Dan not realize that DirecTV dropped NewsNation. Since Disney owns ESPN and ABC news which employs Dan can they FIRE him

During the years I've had ESPN on cable, it changed from being sports to being a herd of people *babbling about sports.* Boring.

I FEEL BAD FOR ALL THOSE MILLIONAIRES FIRED BY A BILLIONAIRE.😂. People have to eat.

Pat McAfee got all those people fired. Plain and simple

Most of ESPN's talent was highly overpaid!!

I miss The Dan Lebatard show ( With Stugotz ) on ESPN Radio 📻 & Highly Questionable with Papi !

Performance doesn’t matter anymore in corporate

ESPN should get rid of Kendrick Perkins. He’s the worst

The biggest problem is that cable sports has gotten so repetitive with the same programs with different names on all day that people drifted to podcasts and talents like Pat McAfee because they were offering something new with a lightness that stopped being on cable sports. McAfee was funny. He didn’t lecture people about issues. The gang on his show laughed more. One guy smoked a cigar. People wanted to watch sports programming and chill. One ESPN program with Max Kellerman and Keyshawn Johnson and J Will had little chemistry between Max and his fellow cast mates. Max mostly watched them talk. Podcasts offered change and inventive ways to approach sports programming.

Troy Aikman makes more than Stephan A? Wtf? Does he even do anything besides one NFL game on ESPN a week?

…yet they keep Stephen A…..ad nauseum

They only need one sports commenter and that's Field Yates

Stephen A Smith is horrible.

First things first on fs1 tops anything any other programming has anyway. No politics. Just basketball and football with a trio+ of funny guys. Love it And..you can listen to it in podcast form daily on their KZfaq channel. It’s amazing!

The biggest problem with ESPN? They just plain forgot how to call sports...

If everyone would stop watching espn per layoffs issue in protest...i bet ,that would change their minds and bring those fired back to work... big Corp don't think they are acceptable, if made to 😔

ESPN overpaid for the NFL games. But this network has been sinking for a minute already. All of their opinion-based shows parrot each other's inane content daily. If you watched from the morning until the evening, you would hear repetitive garbage getting dissected to a point of morbid unrecognizability. On two shows in particular, "Get Up" and "First Take," they give their viewers 20-minute segments on a particular subject; that's _at least_ 15 minutes too long. They can only argue a point _to_ a point before it becomes a battle of egos to see who can defeat who-like a sport. Also, during those two shows, it's the middle of baseball season, but all they talk about is either the NBA or NFL. And I get that those two sports are far more popular than the MLB. But we're in the middle of the baseball season! The All-Star Game is only a week away! ESPN is an alleged "sports" network, which means they cover _most_ sports, even baseball. The NBA just ended; although the draft just happened, they'll talk about that for weeks! The NFL officially begins in September. So _right now,_ they _should be_ talking about baseball. ESPN sucks anyway. Those who were fired could pool their cash and start a new sports channel, although I would advise against it. Because the television medium isn't long for the dinosaur bone yard. They should just write where they can make cash and run their own podcast. Or just go to other networks. But really, WHO CARES!? These people have more cash than all of us COMBINED. They'll be JUST FINE.

Queue Shannon Sharpe, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. Great moves. No one listen to the bums they let go anyway😂😂

Espn got real competition with KZfaqrs, Barstool Sports, and FoxSports. Even Bletxher Report is competition.

The slow transition to actual robots doing our jobs. At least their starting with the rich and famous.

Disney is bringing in fresh faces

I never care to watch ESPN anyways. Food Network should have one too. Just report - f your opinion shows

Good riddance..

Now if only they would do the same to Dan Abrams with his right leaning kiss A** talking points...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤣🤣🤣

Pat should of stayed. Tbh idgaf what an old punter has to talk about with other sports other than football, and even football is a push.

How much of this is the internet and youtube is taking over.?

not sure how i feel about Abrams facial hair, doesn’t work for him

I miss Stuart Scott he brought that extra slang and lingo to espn it was so much fun to watch the highlights at night and in the morning with him loved it all I see on espn now is people arguing and yelling at one another when sports is supposed to be fun not political I stopped watching it thanks! I still watch the NBA On NBC on here lol 😂

Because sports...just dont matter

So all these houses that no longer subscribe to ESPN representing Billions of lost revenue, begs the question, why did they go? Oh, could it be WOKE go Broke? Don't pee on my boots and tell me it's raining. I'm one of those homes. About the only time I would tune into ESPN was for an actual game of interest. None of the talk shows, just games.

Go woke go very very broke

Losing money

Get Woke go BROKE

One question… what do you think is driving the cord cutting? If you guessed that half the country is tired of paying to be exposed to all the left leaning content. It’s crazy to say that we are cutting people because business is bad… you have to point to why business is bad.

Because they have become too woke

espn forgot sports and grabed woke. bye espn

This dude u interviewed is def left leaning! 😂

Noone will watch sports.

Get woke Go broke

New nation quoting breitbart. 🫡
