Espn to cut 150 employees

...and there will be a next time....they need to allow for a fan vote. They need the layoffs; they're just not laying off the right people.

Sadly it makes sense. Outside of tuning into ESPN Gameday to see the creative fan signs and watching the games themselves, ESPN is largely unwatchable at this point. I don't care to even watch the next morning highlights. 

There's no real investigative journalism there anymore. All of the great writers or reporters have been let go. Those who remain are blowhards like Stephen A. Smith and Jamele Hill who define news as inviting LaVar Ball on the set and getting into screaming matches. That's all it is. Generating responses and pissing people off.

ESPN has become a microcosm of the larger media world. There is no more reporting the actual news. It's just pissing contests, twitter wars, and finding ways to politicize everything that any athlete says or does. 

Yeah, ESPN used to be awesome before sports became an afterthought to them.

There is nothing ESPN can do that the individual league networks can't do better.  For example if I want baseball highlights, MLB Network is FAR superior to ESPN. 

I hate to see someone EVER lose their job;  however, I was surprised at how they pushed for coaches to get fired ALL the time.  They were careless in what they said on air and what they typed on line.

Please be jamelle, please be jamelle.

GO BLUE!!

I stopped watching ESPN for the obvious reason. I feel for the employees being let go, but it's diluted by the extreme bias and obtuse opinionism spewed from this organization.
