Clearly you haven't watched in several years, which I commend you for. Aside from the Bruce Jenner bullshit, ESPN inserted itself into several politically-motivated stances over the years.
nice thread hijack.
A), the ESPN layoffs had absolutely zero to do with any political stances by anyone, and were about diverting resources away from labor costs, and towards rights fees and the corp bottom line.
ESPN and Disney are still basically printing money, so i wouldn't rush to take up a collection for them.
B) you can't discuss the sports landscape 24/7/365, and not sometimes cross paths with politics.
C), the ESPN layoffs have absolutely zero to do with Fox News' personnel and management fiascos, (and Watters must be more brain dead than the idiots he seeks out to interview). so wrong thread.
