ESPN tossed 3 of their 4 NHL writers doing the NHL playoffs damn

Seeing these names as well as putting faces to these names made me realize I haven't watched sportscenter in years wow.

Fat Dan got the boxing niche...he and Teddy so set.

 

[Mr210]

Antoniette Collins, Elle Duncan, and Lindsey czarnick all survived these first cuts

 

[Koapa]

This is typical business bs. The top mofos make bad business deals and the bottom people pay for it. Trust me, the behinf the scene people and hourly workers got that work first.

Steve Jobs wife is the largest shareholder of Disney, plus after 2018 or 2019 Disney CEO is most likely retiring, with no replacement.

No Steve Job's wife isn't the largest shareholder of Disney.
Robert Iger, the current CEO is the single largest shareholder of disney.

Disney like every other major company has a secession of CEO plan in place, and if they didn't and Iger was to step down the Board of Trustees would select a new CEO. This shyt is common

Fat Dan got the boxing niche...he and Teddy so set.

Seeing that ESPN doesn't even have a boxing product to show, I don't see Teddy being around or Dan unless they both took major paycuts to stay on board, talking about making 5 figures a year max

Could see that...but they're also imho so niche they could be spared. As shytty as Fat Dan is he could easily translate to Fox Sports.

Folks actually think this cutting cable.....hustling passwords shyt gonna work forever.

Actually, Netflix knows ppl share passwords. And instead of being a jerk about it, they embraced it by allowing separate viewer accounts under the same master account

And for that, I think it endeared ppl to them even more.

More cuts today? Or next week

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

Sad to see anyone lose their job.

It's all the top executives fault who wanted to control every city, county and state in the market..

Overpaying 15 billion dollars for nfl rights

Then they signed a 9 year deal with a depleted NBA where fans knows only 3 teams each year have a chance to winning, so nobody gives a fukk till playoff time really

Didn't they lose 70 million alone on that raiders texans game...

So it's fired the workers because of the shareholders and top brass mistakes

You do realize NBA ratings have been up last 5 years,(this year,like all sports was down because of the election cycle) attendance is at record high, streaming is high, merchandising is up, website clicks & social media activity is highest amongst all sports.

Depleted? U sound like a bitter NHL cac fan on Twitter

 

[Rekkapryde]

Yep you are so right on jokers sharing passwords and shyt. Jokers don't understand that these companies sit around all day and think of ways to stop folks from working around the system and they will again.

Remember how everyone was ditching land lines for cell phones cause the land line was 200 plus a month but you could get a 3 cell phone plan for less than 100 bucks. Phone companies and the government got hipped now your ass paying 200 plus for 3 or 4 cell phone plan and 30 bucks a month a land line....


Cell phone bill taxes use to be like 10 bucks. Now the taxes alone be 30 or 40 bucks....



Folks actually think this cutting cable.....hustling passwords shyt gonna work forever.

Yup internet prices will rise if too many cords get cut

 

[Tide Run This]

They should squash the circle jerk espys

FS1 is in deep with PBC, seems to me that would be a PBC call, Haymon might hit them with the hold up if Fat Dan is to be the face of thier boxing.
