I think ESPN has jumped the shark....they've made some bad, bad  positioning positions ( i.e taking the Asian-American broadcaster Robert Lee off of a Virginia football game). Don't piss off the paying customers in order to be edgy and "with it"

Their decision to pivot from including MLB and NHL in their coverage and to instead pour most of their resources into the NBA and NFL definitely demonstrates they had cultural demographics in mind. Even FIFA to bring in the European crowd. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. 

That and their complete shift to Democrat party politics and talking points has sealed their fate. They brought Olberman back for Pete’s sake- this guy is completely unhinged, but he’s brought back? Yikes- eson is a network dying a slow, painful death. For sports networks, I never understood this idea... even Michael Jordan said “Republicans buy shoes, too.” Why would you deliberately lop off a significant portion of your audience/customer base?
