>LeBatard doing a "restro guest list" today.
That seems like somebody from there is getting fired.
>inb4 espn announces format change to mexican ranchera music AM station
>>75509634
what's a restro guest list
>>75509681
I think he meant Retro Guest List. Which is probably a highlight show rather than a Live on-Air one
>>75509699
No it means he's bringing back all his favorite old guests, bring on all the ESPN guys who are about to get fired and won't be allowed on the show anymore after the 1st.
>>75509715
Its been more celebrities and people that visited the show often from that. So its more of a last chance for the radio show to talk to them on air.
>>75509766
so lebatard single handedly creates the anti white culture at espn then mourns their loss
>>75509109
so many white men
please fire all WHITE PEOPLE
>Jon Gruden fired
FUCK
>>75510281
what? no way
No way they lay go of any big names. It will be all behind the camera people.

But never feel sorry for whitey.
>>75510439
Man fuck NBC. Outside of NFL and some EPL, they're garbage.
>>75510941
We're sad because eds doggo is sick. It's good that ESPN is firing all of these talented people because they can now work for a good outlet instead
>>75510953
They're all white
If Jemele Hill isn't fired ESPN will have to do the same shit 3 years later
>>75510952
depends. espn is letting the contracts expire. we don't know if most people had a parachute clause. probably not.
>>75509408

>>75510959
Fuck off they have IndyCar and f1 and nhl, as well as the Olympics, etc they are currently the best the sports channel followed by fox, then MLB Network. NBC certainly blows the fuck out of ESPN

here's the worst part: these people all own houses in Bristol. ESPN is the only volume high-income employer in Bristol.
Imagine 100 McMansions going on the market at once. These people are gonna take a bath.
>mfw they change their name to BESPN
there's nothing funnier than a company who has no idea what the real problem is and they're just doubling down on the cancer. I'm sure these people will finds jobs elsewhere it's a blessing in disguise. Getting out of a sinking ship

That seems fairly proportional for the type of people they're firing desu, hosts are more likely to be black, but for the most part the these are more often white.

amerilard logic
The thing that you have to remember about ESPN is that - especially in the 90s and early-mid 2000s when they were the only show in town - ESPN execs genuinely felt like they could not just report on or grab what sports people were popular, but actually influence their popularity based on what they were and weren't reporting. Read one of those 'expose' books like These Guys Have All The Fun - they saw themselves as King makers/breakers with their coverage (they felt like they had basically 'created' NASCAR and buried the NHL), and that they could push for lower rights fees and stuff with some of these leagues in return for favorable coverage.
Now, there are more companies bidding for more sports, and they're getting into bidding wars for things like MNF and it's killing them. The only real events they do that whole "let us show you in return for shilling you" thing with anymore are MLS, the CFB playoffs, and the Masters. A lot of others are just either splitting off into their own networks or partnering with non-cable companies like Twitter streaming and things like that.
I have no idea whether "We feel we can influence the country's sports discussion" translated to some of the current "we feel we can influence the country's racial/political discussion" but I'm sure this thread has more than enough Hot Opinions on that one.

I kekd at that too
>>75511123
Not really a logic thing, people want to see people like them hosting shows, most sports fans are black.
Most people who go to college for journalism are white, sort of makes sense when you see it that way
>>75511148
>ice hockey
Is there another kind of hockey? Water hockey? Grass hockey? Dirt hockey?
>>75511148
>hockey dying
No, but espn is
>>75511167
Field hockey you jungle nigger
>>75511148
It's hockey and no it isn't, it just isn't as popular in southern states as it is in Canada and the northern US. it is a niche sport.
>>75511174
Wait, is this really a thing?
>>75511148
No, American Football is a dying sport, Hockey is actually growing in some parts of the US. Also ESPN's Hockey coverage was always minimal and shit anyways.
>>75511148
No it's just returning to a more sustainable level. The strike ended hockey as a national sport.
>>75511105
wtf i hate 4chan now
>>75511183
Yeah basically Argentina and Netherlands play it. It's irrelevant compared to real hockey.

Barry Melrose is safe right?
>>75511127
That's interesting. I remember in middle school/high school, literally all guys would talk about was what they saw on SportsCenter/ESPN. It was huge. Definitely a much simpler time.
The fact of the matter is, ESPN definitely added a political tone to their coverage. Whether or not this hurt them is clearly debatable, but all we know is 1. They started talking politics more, and 2. They're doing poorly now. One didn't necessarily cause the other, but there you go.
>>75511127
You didn't need to post this twice faggot. Nobody bothered to read it the first time.

Nobody goes to ESPN for hockey you dumb cunt
>>75509109

Sad part is it was most likely due to him being white. ESPN gotta get more diversity hires.

Wait did they kill Barry Melrose?
>>75509408
Wew lad
>>75511183
Yes you favela monkey
>>75511207
I remember this too. I remember actually feeling self conscious a couple of times because I hadn't seen sportscenter the night before and didnt know what people were talking about
>>75509109

>people want to see people like them hosting shows
first time I've heard this
>most sports fans are black
I don't believe this in a country where they are 14% of the population
>sort of makes sense when you see it that way
it was badly expressed, you can't say something is 'more likely' but the opposite 'happens more often', it's a contradiction
>>75511183
it's a game played by women
>>75511234
I want /pol/ to leave, he wasn't fired solely for his whiteness and if you think the sad part is that he was white there's a lot going on in your head and you should probably get off /pol/

When will we get a 30 for 30 on the rise and fall of ESPN?
>>75511176
its hockey on ice, so ice hockey. its to differentiate from the olympic sport

That black people want to see black people on TV?

Well, that's how it's becoming in the West, have you looked at the French national team? Have you not seen that meme?
>>75511148
No matter how hard ESPN tries to push that belief no it isn't.
>>75511281

Funny that ESPN's resident "Brands are people too" sycophant Darren Rovell hasn't said a word about this. Darren, isn't this important to the "Sports Business Landscape"?

I liked/still like Outside the Lines/30 for 30/E:60 but the Sportscenter pieces were fucking crap.
Also the fact the WWE section of ESPN.com has almost as many articles per day as NHL in the playoffs makes this make more sense
>>75511201
To be fair the draft sucks now that it takes 3 or 4 days. It was way better when your team would get a couple guys the first day, then a couple more the next.
It's also in philly, gross
>>75511207
It's a whole mixture of things
>increased competition
>increased availability of material online (entire websites of highlights for pretty much any sport, probably some analysis channels on YT)

What does ESPN stand for?
>>75511207
Yeah, it's not the only reason, but when the ship is sinking I'd think it best not to alienate the middle aged white guy that still pays for cable and has basically watched you forever.

Because ESPN made it about race by race baiting (They have been slowly doing this for quite some time look at what they turned Cold Pizza into years ago) and their anchors and personalities have been openly liberal and in your face about it. If I'm on the left I'll watch MSNBC or CNN and if I'm a conservative I'll watch Fox news. But if I'm in the middle and I'm tired of hearing about how evil Trump is and how much him and Hitler have in common and muh Russia and I want to escape it I might put on ESPN but if you spend more than five minutes watching it you will realize that this channel is even more biased than the news shows.When people put on the sports channel they expect to watch sports highlights, we are witnessing the same "Transformation" that happened to MTV all those years ago but to ESPN this time.

holy shit if this is the same guy you're fucking retarded. If MOST hosts are minorities, and minorities are 10% of firings, that is the opposite of proportional. And the overwhelming majority of sports fans are white males, blacks are literally no where close for any sport even the nba, that's skewed more towarrds blacks than the NFL but in terms of sheer numbers white people far surpass them
>>75511395

>>75511588

You mean, relegated to Fox Sports?
Have they fired a single black or brown person today?
Is this even remotely true?
>>75511495
Yes thats my point. Its also about how men work together with men and the culture and organization that arises out of that and women first and foremost gum the works up completely
Anytime you see something that went to shit you can practically rest assured that women got hold of the levers of power somehow. Theres no quicker way to ruin something. And having women integrated into the workplace culture is also a slow road to ruin
>the city of furpuck
Lmao. Not even FS1 will pick these guys up. No one cares about that shitty sport.
>>75511565
what people are forgetting hereis that all espn people are probably contractors. They have no rights, and cant be "laid off", or even fired really. Theuy just get told "youre contract is terminated" or "it wont be renewed".
Most people never really understand contract employment law basics.
>>75511612
The fact that any of us even know his name and where he works makes him famous enough

It's more or less the same here. If they made a formal mistake you can get it declared void but they will soon find a valid reason to get rid of you.
But you get to milk the company for like another 1-2 months

He still works at TSN so he's fine. He probably did more overall stuff for tsn (especially on camera) anyways
I really wish ESPN would go back to the old sportscenter mold. It's kind of cumbersome to go to all these different websites to watch different highlights, look up scores, look up standings, playoff picture, etc. It was real nice to have that in a one hour block that repeated it's self hour after hour.
Now they air women talking about their etch-a-sketch

Maybe to one segment of the population.
The biggest fuck up ESPN has made is not adjusting to how people follow sports now. Why the fuck would I go and watch (and pay) ESPN for highlights when I can find entire games on YouTube or any play on a ton of different sites? Even worse they responded to losing viewers by trying to appeal to celebrity gossip and less sports. So the political shit turns off some people, but there aren't enough people left who need ESPN for sports coverage anyway, regardless of their political beliefs.

this is just internet killing the video star
why would you need espn. what does it provide that you cant get online for free? every highlight, opinion etc thing you can think of is on the net now
the only use for them is 1.live sport, but people just stream it for free or 2.old people who cant work the internet but all old people are racist trumpites and theyre probably fed up of espn being sjw central now

Wrong
KMP and GSSTV survey data clearly shows that the shift in consumption accounted for less and 15% of viewership changes. This was surveying done with over 40,000 subjects, MUCH more than needed to have an accurate representation of the population, let alone the sports watching population.
Over 68% said the politicization of sports coverage on ESPN was their reason for tuning out.
So why not next time try looking up concrete data, instead of being a huge faggot and just writing off someones opinion as "anectodal." Stay mad, and stay the fuck out of adult conversations.

I don't honestly care with Russillo and Kanell to be honest, but I'd be sad if ESPN even mentioned one of the Mikes in the layoffs talk. I think I should have listened to Baseball Tonight more so I could feel a little pity of the guy.

from what i heard ESPN went to some of the people and offered them up to 50% of their contract if they would leave.
and if they said no then they would basically be taken off air.

I remember when I was getting into football watching NFL countdown with my dad as a kid and it was pretty informative, older experienced players explaining game plans, schemes, formations
They had the one goof Kenny Mayne segment, and one nice emotional story, but it fit nicely and wasn't too convoluted or drawn out
I tried to watch it after a hiatus and it was twice as long, full of young players fresh out of the league without insight, half of it was garbage opinion pieces

All the /pol/ in this thread is missing the real point- the people getting canned are the on the ground reporters and analysts.

>ESPN presently pays $1.9 billion a year for Monday Night Football. (This is a wild stat, but did you know that every cable and satellite subscriber who has ESPN is paying $21.50 a year for Monday Night Football games? That's whether you ever watch those games or not. That's the NFL tax that ESPN passes along to consumers.)
>I've been writing about the sports rights bubble for years. Most recently doing the math to point out that the NBA's insane new television deal from Turner and ESPN means that every single cable and satellite subscriber in the entire country is paying a jawdropping $30 a year for NBA games.
