Not nearly enough AFAIC. I'd love to see that place disappear altogether.

The good part is that these idiots are so blind, they have no clue as to what's actually going on with their has-been channel.

If anyone follows Clay Travis he has been an absolute thorn in the side of ESPN for the last year or so. He predicted these cuts and ESPN adamantly denied it several months ago. There's no avoiding it now.

Their President John Skipper is a flaming liberal scumbag. I hope they crash and burn sooner rather than later.

I remember speculation last year that Disney would sell ESPN if ratings and subscribers continue to diminish. Maybe Viacom / B.E.T. could buy them

They just could not help themselves. Maybe the few left will hear the sucking sound just before they all exit down the drain.

Dilly, dilly!

Another for the clueless file, the networks think NFL ratings are down because there’s too many games on TV.

It makes me smile when the liberal's chickens come home to roost. I think that 2018 will be another satisfying year in that regard.

In other news, wasn't this the company that was going to save the world according to the liberals protesting any petroleum production?

The Tesla management is taking heat for their underhanded way of conducting these layoffs. I guess years of massive spending with no chance of turning a profit is biting them in the ass. sounds like typical government thinking.

Goodell always has been an idiot but now he rides the league right into the crapper.

The NFL's once-golden network TV numbers continue to drop.

NFL games averaged 15.1 million viewers through Week 7, according to Nielsen data obtained by Sporting News. That's down 5.1 percent from 15.87 million viewers during the same period last season and off 18.7 percent from 18.35 million viewers during the same period in 2015.

Espn being one one of the oldest cable channels has a sweet deal. Something on the order of $5 per month of your cable bill goes directly to espn. With so many people "cutting the cord " as they say, espn better figure out a way to make due with less

Good Mr rscalzo:

I suggest you lay off Tesla/Solar City, ie, Elon Musk. After all Musk is too busy working on a high speed train from NY to LA, a passenger rocket that goes from NY to Shanghai in 39 minutes, and preparing us to live underground on Mars when conservatives ruin planet Earth. To ask for Tesla/Solar city to actually turn a profit for one quarter a decade is too much.

(Which really means I agree with all you say).

Seems to me likely ESPN/NFL et al may well continue to collapse, the whole while they will deny the cause of their demise. And if you deny the cause/eliminate the correct solution, whatever you do instead will fail.

Looks like $6.10 subscriber fee going up a bunch more in 2018.

Wonderful news hopefully. Hopefully even more after that.

It's been pretty obvious for a while now that they are more of an agenda driven network than a sports driven network.

I went to Fox Sports a while back and haven't missed ESPN one bit.

And yes, Clay Travis has been all over this for a while now. When you promote skin color over talent, it will eventually affect your business.

Yep. When ESPN decided to become the SJW channel instead of covering sports that was enough for me. I have converted to Fox sports as well.

Good riddance.

ESPN won't hit rock bottom until they rehire Keith Olbermann.

The NFL is going to be in a terrible position to negotiate their next TV deal. That means less money for everyone involved. Soon that will start filtering down to the players salaries. When their union goes gag over that eventually there will be a lockout.

You will have hundreds of somewhat rich thugs stating that they are the reason the fans watch. That will be countered by 32 mostly pretty smart billionaires. The players will threaten to start their own league. If I'm one of the 32 I tell them to knock themselves out. It is a lot easier for 32 to be resolute than 100's of players.

However, I think the NFL needs to lose their antitrust exemption.

Listening to SI Sports Media host Richard Deitsch, is amazing to hear all these talking heads discuss all the possibilities except for one. The one of course, they completely dismiss as being a loud but, very small minority, who's impact is miniscule. Deitsch epitomizes the leftist media and their established support system, minimizing Jamelle Hill but, excoriating Schilling, Sage Steele and Linda Cohen. One look at his Twitter feed will give you an idea of who's water he carries. Would love to by a fly on the wall if/when Bob Ley (ESPN's biggest conservative BTW) goes off on Deitsch and ESPN's Skipper.
