John Clayton out at ESPN

Rugby Saint II · 05-31-2017, 01:26 PM

They might be successful if they didn't shove their liberal views down my throat. I'd rather watch stupid jocks on the NFL channel.

And to add, I have noticed that anything that may be worth reading, you have to pay for a subscription. That turned me off big time. Cause all we are left with on the website is garbage reporting.

Not to sound like a Southern Baptist Deacon, but I'll segue...

This site does have costs too, but you can donate what you can when you can, though Halo does get a regular bill and expenses...

I'd say consider what you can afford vs what you get in entertainment value here vs other entertainment expenses (well, maybe not those that Forever has used his parents' credit card to enroll)...

Anyways, that's my plug for this great site...

Yeah, and it got progressively worse after they implemented that. I agree with you.

All they'd have to do to figure out their problems is fire up 30 minutes of Sportscenter from the 90's and compare it to today's version. It's kind of sad, really.

I was thinking about this earlier. I remember being a kid in the 90's and watching Sportscenter every morning before school. It was just one game's highlights after another and it was a thing of beauty.

Sadly, ESPN's solution to their problem is firing all of the reporters and X's and O's guys and going all in with what has led to their downfall.

Only watch ESPN when they have a Saints game. 68% of NFL players are Black and 74.4% in the NBA. It is unfair that we have quota's for anything in life! You earn what you get and you don't get a damn participation trophy. ESPN forgot where they came from and that my friend is why they've lost it. They've overpaid to televise everything and aren't getting the revenues from Advertisers that some dumbass projected to get his yearly bonus. You make ****, you breathe ****, you are ****!

The really sad part is the rocket scientists who made these decisions get promoted...

...till their top of the pack and then are retired on a multi-million dollar package...

Where's the accountability for thinking sports is rocket science and making these gaffes?!?

Ironic, we've got this spirited discussion all over John Clayton, Saints Hater...

This commercial was one of their better ones though...

Clayton always reminded me of Yoda without the logic!

I don't watch ESPN for all the reasons already mentioned.

I never liked Clayton - I had a specific reason for it at one time but I've forgotten.

Meh.
