ESPN announces 150 layoffs

[Stevenson]

Make love to ESPN and everyone who takes a paycheck from them.

ESPN chose to get political. Anyone who thinks that hasn't hurt them is hitting a Windex-filled vape.

We all better hope Skipper does well and keeps his job because when he retires or if he is pushed out they are going to make a play to give that job to Wildhack and we will be back without an AD

This I don't get. When I do watch ESPN I don't see it as political or having political views forced upon me. I mean we live in a crazy world so every now and then sports and politics cross over so I get they must cover "some" stories. But where have they gotten political I just don't see it? What Jamel Harris tweets isn't her going on her 6pm sportscenter being "political" in my opinion.

She tweets as a member of ESPN. Her having her job is political in and of itself.

Still, who cares what she tweets on her own time off of TV

This is 2017 polarized America.
Jemele Hill tweeting and calling the President a white supremacist is going to hurt her show.

She can do what Stephen A. does and go on CNN and Fox and talk about what he believes without doing what she does.
The Six ratings have tanked from what Lindsey Czarnik was getting because of Jemele.

well you could save some money by losing the roving side line eye candy. hand the mic to a hot cheerleader and feed her 2 or 3 innocuous questions to ask halftime and post game gratis . do they really add that much ?

I can't possibly see how having an alum and former AD being in charge of ESPN a bad thing. As a matter of fact, it would be quite amazing. We'd find a new AD and he'll have the head of ESPN on speed dial.

Not a bad thing I just don't want to see SU go through having to hire an AD again. And then if that AD doesn't like the current football coach (or basketball coach by then) we could be in a mess

What do you mean she tweets as a member of ESPN? I hold a job when I tweet or post here I am not tweeting representing my employer, I tweet representing ME.

It's people who don't agree with her who have their feelings hurt and want to shut her up. Let's just call it what it is.

our school just published a guideline that including such things as replying to things using our school email as the return too as being not allowed. i think the line separating work and play has been drawn pretty thin these days.
