Say Goodbye to those ESPN Personalities Ya'll Love So Much: Official ESPN Layoffs Thread

[Ronnie Lott]

Biggest cut to me was Kanell they pretty much just killed off national radio show especially with russillo getting the "limited role" treatment

Yeah Kanell was pretty good. I really had no beef with him. Dude was pretty knowledgeable and likeable on air

It's the revenge of the poor, working class whites. Enjoy the ride. They've had 8 years of pent up anger during the Obama years. Don't shoot the messenger.

Those trash people would be angry and saying the same shyt regardless. There's no "revenge" because there's nothing to get revenge for. They werent wronged, they werent neglected. They're just miserable trash people. So yes, fukk them.

that show was bad tho..since svp left and not like it was stellar can't-miss radio when he was there. i expect ryen to be gone too, they'll figure out how to slot SAS in for that whole time

 

[Skooby]

Another anchor!

 

[Savior]

Another industry thats undergoing massive change....the number of cord cutters is only gonna increase every year. Honestly dunno how this is gonna affect sports as a whole because theres no way these networks are gonna pay this kind of money on the next contracts especially NBA. Either theres gonna be a bigger movement towards paid streams or republican cacs will put in draconian internet laws to force people back to cable.

just wait til they get 1-2 more years into actually paying out their new nfl and nba tv contracts while losing millions more subscribers. its going to affect everyone, down to the players in the leagues contracts becoming much lower. money just wont be there

Nah.. when the next contracts come up it will be Google, Microsoft, Facebook and amazon buying the rights

Or Espn will find a way to monetize online better

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

It's the fact that the content holders still want to stay in bed with the cable/internet companies

Those guys are the real enemy of progress

 

[Originalman]

The crazy part is that they're not mad at the white people in power who actually did all the firing

They're only mad at black people

As always.

 

[cartierhoe]

Yea they're talking about people getting laid off at their place of employment because we're talking about it on the coli.

Every show on air addressed it as well, what type of dumbass assumption.....

 

[He Who Posts Well]

If some of these people weren't part of the layoffs, I would never know they worked for ESPN

 

[philmonroe]

Outside of the Kaep comment The Coli said the same shyt about Caitlyn and Michael Sam. How soon we forget

Some of these cats just as stupid as the white folks they hate on the other side. Oftentimes got the same fukking views but swear they so different. Outside of race which is obviously big just about anything else dudes feel the same and don't even see it. Outside of the Kaep stuff I agree.

Jason Stark....I don't fukk with baseball coverage but I remember that dude. Always seemed enthusiastic to talk about the game.

MLB network would be crazy not to scoop him up
