If you thought espn shows and broadcasts were unbearable before just imagine how bad this will make it when they keep plugging it every ten seconds

Not only on shows but marketing/digital

I can hear the notifications and commercials now.

Espn as we know it will change

A new vision

Money

Penn dumping Barstool for ESPN can't be good for the go woke go broke crowd

Why I read this like ESPN B.E.T.

I thought Madd Sports was making a comeback

 

[Dreamchaser]

Disney finally pulled the trigger. They have to be divesting Espn into a standalone business because this is doesn't follow the traditional company brand. I thought this was the move 10 years ago with Fanduel and draftkings on ESPN all the time.

Terrible step for sports and sporting news.

ESPN & BET mashup would have been crazy when BET still meant something

 

[SchoolboyC]

ESPN is already known for manufacturing drama/rumors to add to their content, it seems like a conflict of interest for them to have their own betting platform

Could see similar drama to what happened with Shams & FanDuel with his draft coverage

 

[MikelArteta]

Easily imo. DK and Fanduel don't have the actual product, ESPN now has the product and the betting infastructure. That's gonna hurt those two companies

yup espn will have all their announcers mentioning it. ESPN bet adds during games, commentators on some on this drive if chiefs get a td thats +200 type ish

 

[Apprentice]

If I’m already signed up to barstool Sportsbook do I still get the ESPN first bet bonus?

 

[Taadow]

Why I read this like ESPN B.E.T.

I did the same thing. I was like "Oh hell..."

 

[Reality Check]

Damn they went for Barstool’s neck with that move…
