The NFL/ESPN partnership to push leftwing horse shit politics onto America is a bust but as almost everyone knows, the left does not give up control of a business that they find useful merely because they are driving it into bankruptcy.

Disney Could Sell ESPN, Due To Massive Subscriber Loss - Breitbart

Lachapelle then makes her case, citing how much of a disaster ESPN has become: “…ESPN has continued to weigh on Disney’s results as the NFL struggles to keep viewers. A Nielsen report showed that ESPN, ESPN 2 and ESPNU lost more than 600,000 subscribers from October to November. ESPN’s NFL ratings have suffered a 17 percent decline this season, according to Nielsen data as of last week. Separately, Disney’s ABC network is faring the worst among the top broadcasters, with ratings down 11 percent for the season as of Nov. 9 versus a year ago.”

Lachapelle is not alone in talking about Disney getting rid of ESPN: “Last month, billionaire John Malone — the dealmaker of all media dealmakers — speculated that Disney may spin off or sell ESPN, along with maybe ABC. He then went so far as to say Apple Inc. may be interested in merging with Disney after the split. The Edge, which analyzes spinoffs, has written about a Disney breakup, too, noting that the media networks and the rest of Disney “lack sufficient synergies and have vastly different outlooks and business model challenges.”

Some market analysts believe ESPN has kneecapped the entire media networks division at Disney: “Now, RBC Capital Markets analyst Steven Cahall is jumping on the bandwagon. In a report Monday, Cahall wrote that ESPN “has almost single-handedly de-rated Disney by about 3.5 to 4 turns” of its Ebitda multiple. After the stock got a small pop Monday, Disney was valued at 10.7 times the Ebitda it generated in the past 12 months. That’s down from a multiple of nearly 14 about a year ago, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.”

Nice to see the snakes fighting each other instead of going after us mice.
 
That would be hilarious.

I watch actual games on ESPN, but that's it. No Sports Center, or any other sports talk shows on the network.

Typical BS from Breitbart

ESPN's ratings are suffering, but they're far from the only ones. Here's who else is on the wane
 
I'll bet in 10 years or so, cable will be a thing of the past. You'll be able to stream almost anything, and libturd narrators can be muted.

 
That you cannot grasp that many sports fans are patriots and do not want Marxists spewing their anti-American hatred in the sports they watch is very telling about YOU being the person swallowing the BS, dude.

Self proclaimed Marxists are some of the most annoying people you will ever meet, but I highly doubt you have ever actually met one. You guys throw out the word 'Marxist' like liberals do the word 'Racist.'

We will eventually be hooked up to a "mind-net" that can scan our brains from cell towers using the nanobots that we will all have inside of us keeping us healthy and biologically around 22 years old.

You will surf the "net" by changing your thoughts in your head, triggering some prepared app "daemons" and a few hand signals.

And no one will ever again be able to try to control what the public will know ever again.
