What happens if you say no

Commentators love to talk about how players should take a team friendly pay cut so they can win and deride players who take more money to play for lesser teams

I wonder what theyll say now that they are being asked to take a company friendly pay cut so the janitors and secretaries don't get canned

Sticky this statement

On point. Now let's see who's real and who's fake?

I'm gonna post your quote on Twitter too breh

 

[Black Bolt]

That's an extremely light request, would be career suicide not to opt in

 

[Sauce Dab]

I’m sure The Mouse didn’t “ask” for shyt they told the commentators that they’re taking 15%

They been paying $5M for Beadle to sit at home for almost a year and do nothing

 

[JLova]

There won’t b sports for another year so it makes sense

 

[Inferno]

Makes sense, I work in the travel industry and my company had some layoffs recently.

I was safe and got a raise right before that tho

 

[Dilltastic VolWon(derful)]

I didn’t even know they still had 100 commentators still on their payroll

What happens if you say no

Career suicide. Disney will be sure to leak the names of those who didn’t buy in. Who wants to be known publicly as the 1% not willing to sacrifice for the 99%?

will she take a paycut?

 

[Sghost597]

Why are commentary folks getting paid at all?

Why ESPN ABC folks need a 100 of them in April? They only use like 8 people max.

I really want to see them ask their football guys to take a paycut...

And remember there will surely be more ESPN layoffs once of all of this over.

Yeah you’ll still get paid the remainder of your contract (as long as you don’t take another job) and the money that you refused to give up, but you will be hard pressed to make that type of money outside of ESPN with the next contract. Surely they should have foreseen this coming the moment that the highups took a pay cut.
