ESPN has asked its 100 most highly paid commentators to take 15% pay cut

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
A lot of them love to harp on how much they love and appreciate the producers of their show who make it possible. Let’s see if they keep that same energy enough when it comes to helping save their jobs.

Sounds bout right to me
Lers see how charitable they are when it is their own money
No..Money..Mo..Problems
it is what it is
I wouldn't take a pay cut there still gonna furlough the regular employees anyway. Since it's a contract they have to pay out big companies never like taking loses on the chin.
Incredibly lucky situation to have your entire reason for a job disappear and yet you still getting paid millions to just kill time. But I don't entire trust ESPN's motives here.
They should call ESPN out, refuse to take the cut, and instead give away 20% of their salary directly to employees who got cut or furloughed.
That talent makes big money but ESPN plays with figures way higher than that. Take control over the situation so you determine where the money goes rather than just helping them protect their own pockets.

I’d only take the cut if they were giving it to employees who don’t have the same security. Otherwise, fukk them.

ESPN should be contacting the NBA AND MLB along with the NCAA to get refunds on games they paid to broadcast but did not receive.

NFL had their shyt iron clad that they get paid regardless I believe
Well they haven't lost any games with the NFL. Plus they'll still get the draft in some fashion.
Butt u think Disney is gonna eat those losses and still pay those other leagues in full when they got fukked over with the content???
I wouldn't, but NFL knows they have the leverage. Someone will pay if Disney/ESPN drops them. That's the problem.

Unless they all get behind doing that it's a bad idea . Hell, the top two commentators there would need to be behind it for it to work.

I didn't say to drop the leagues. but if they paid for X # of NBA/NCAA/MLB games in the 2020 season, and u don't get them, they should sue those respective leagues to get some of that money back right? I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened.
