#1 ...amidst tremendous disruption in how fans consume sports.

..they're not eating up our s**t anymore. The sponsors aren't willing to pay rate for no audience.

#2 Viewers are turning away from the sporting world's woke bullshit.

Enjoy learning to code.

#4 I cut the cable several years ago and ESPN and FOX went away with a lot of crappy stations as well. I still have a ROKU connection via WI-FI. I have saved a bundle of money over the years and don't miss cable one bit. I get more TV than I can watch. NewsMax is a decent replacement for all the lying MSM/Dem propaganda.

#5 I watched a lot of ESPN up until about 4 years ago.

Loved Mike & Mike in the morning but go back to the days when Allie Sherman talked about the NFL and you could watch Aussie rules football. The more mainstream they got the less there was of interest.

#6 Followed the MTV model. Instead of covering the topic they went to an animated fashion magazine.

Sixteen with sports pads.
