ESPN is learning a really tough lesson. People are really, really sick and tired of being preached at while trying to enjoy sports. Deadspin tries to explain why customers are treating ESPN like the network’s got head lice:

Over the last several years rights fees have skyrocketed, with ESPN now paying over $3.3 billion annually just to broadcast the NFL and NBA. Simultaneously, ESPN’s subscriber count and viewership—the fabled dual revenue stream that has made it the most envied television company in the country—have tumbled. While the loss of 12 million subscribers over five years is mostly due to generalized cord cutting, and not subscribers specifically dropping ESPN, it doesn’t really matter: It still amounts to losing almost a billion dollars annually. The status quo is unsustainable, and with rights fees already locked in for several years, salaries are one of the biggest areas available to cut expenses.

You may remember that ESPN laid off 300 employees in 2015, then had to get rid of on-air talent too. According to Sports Illustrated, ESPN let go “tens of millions of staff salary from its payroll, including staffers many viewers and readers will recognize. Those with contracts coming up would be particularly vulnerable, sources said.”

Gee, I wonder why? Could it be that we’re sick of our values being mocked by condescending liberals? When writer Clay Travis wrote this, he absolutely hit the nail on the head:

“Middle America wants to pop a beer and listen to sports talk, they don’t want to be lectured about why Caitlyn Jenner is a hero, Michael Sam is the new Jackie Robinson of sports, and Colin Kaepernick is the Rosa Parks of football. ESPN made the mistake of trying to make liberal social media losers happy and as a result lost millions of viewers.”

ESPN needs to realize what they’ve done… Hopefully 4 to 8 years of Trump can make sports fun again.
