No sports is tough for a sports network, especially one that has alienated half of the country with their political stances. I only watch them when my team is on, which is getting pretty rare with more spread out contracts.

espn has turned me off completely over the years. Watch CFB, but that's about it

MLB TV has been the bomb. Games 6,7 of the 1952 world series was run this weekend and other great games of years past the past 2 months

ESPN has been awful for a long time...and I'm not talking about their political stance. Instead of sports reporting...they've devolved to putting an endless, lame comedy routine. Unwatchable...IMO.

I watched ESPN more the last few months than the last few years.

Reruns of old football games and WWE pay per views.
I will drop them as soon as sports start back up.

Now that all the sports have their own networks and with nbc and cbs and fox with their sports nets. ESPN for a while now doesn’t have it all to themselves. Also they just suck.

Yes there is no live sports to talk about, but you dont have to sink down into the gutter of politics. I too have stopped watching ESPN.
Colin Cowherd can talk sports without getting political.

Their play-by-play announcers, particularly with football, are horrible.
They turned Monday Night Football into a game of little interest.

Football announce team- 100% non essential.
Most are morons at best, some even mentoring future morons.

The BEST game EVER broadcast what the Jets game one Saturday, in December, with NO TV crew -only the stadium PA system.
Hands down the best game ever.

Used to love MNF until ESPN got hold of it and filled the booth with mental midgets.

The bolded is redundant. Just typing ESPN means the same thing. ESPN used to stress the S in their name. Now they stress the E, but not by showing sports.
