Would have been neat about 10 years ago. It's too little too late at this point and ESPN will die no matter what.
so it's basically CBS sports
is this it? Will kabaddi finally become the #1 sport?
>>77463792
actual programming will just be a replay of all the BLM marches will speeches about institutional racism and sexism
I've been waiting years to watch the Flameball finals on ESPN.
