More proof ESPN has completely changed course and is distancing itself from politics...
They're buying out Jemele Hill and sending her packing.

Dan le Batard is blasting ESPN's new policy of "no politics".
ESPN is a business whose bottom line was getting battered when they were discussing politics. That's why John Skipper is out. Ratings were in the sewer and the #1 complaint was people watch sports to avoid shit like politics. There's a reason the "Get Woke, Go Broke" phrase exists.
I hate this line of thinking so fucking much. "If you don't absolutely agree with me, YOU'RE RACIST!!!!" Way to fight bigotry with bigotry."If you're not calling it abhorrent, obviously racist, dangerous rhetoric, you're complicit."

ESPN is also under fire for their biased high school football player rankings.
Gee Scott Jr. has had the best offseason by any WR. It's been so good Rivals, Scout, and 247 all have bumped him to the top 50 players overall and around 10 for WRs.
ESPN dropped him to 200 and #20+ for WRs.
They're getting roasted on Twitter by several fan bases for that one and other suspicious rankings.

I'm assuming his bosses at ESPN can't be thrilled. ESPN already saw flagging ratings the last time they got political and had to reverse course. Now they signed the SEC for way too much money and need people to watch. The rest of the country already hates the SEC, and now you've got Kellerman insulting the very audience you need to tune in.
Imagine if your company had a sales person who ranted about the ignorance to one of its biggest customers directly to the face of the customer. How long do you think they'd be employed?

Not shockingly, Mark Jackson's Twitter has been scrubbed. He removed everything, including him celebrating a player's season ending due to injury. Why was he celebrating that? Because the player is a Trump supporter.
Tolerance!

New CBS ad during this Steelers-Titans game just took a big shot at ESPN.
It opens with a talk show that looks like Around the Horn. You see that it's a sports news network, but all the panelists are discussing politics.
It then cuts to two CBS Sports Network anchors who talk about how their sports news network will actually talk about sports news.

ESPN cutting jobs and blaming Covid.
Yeah, I'm sure it has nothing to do with piss poor management, constant sexual harassment, letting all your good talent go, signing billion dollar deals with the NBA/SEC/ACC that only small segments of the U.S. watch, talking politics non-stop on a sports network, or your clear bias in pushing leagues you're in bed with (SEC/ACC/NFL) over everyone else pissing off a majority of sports fans.

Well, they did have 6 months without any sports. Which is a pretty fucking big hole for a sports company.Leisher wrote: ESPN cutting jobs and blaming Covid.

Of course, but they were in trouble before that. Those massive contracts with small audiences put them way behind the 8 ball.
