ESPN digs hole deeper

[CharlesDavenport]

You would think that with the lack of programming available with all the cancelled sports that ESPN would be careful about alienating the few people still tuning in. Nope. Megan Rapinoe is one of the hosts for the ESPYS this year. Everyone excited to tune in to that now?

Disclaimer - I never watch the ESPYS anyway.

Awards shows should be banned. Also, I don't watch ESPN for sports any more, thanks to satellite, and I'm supposed to watch it for some bullshit awards show?

Who is this Megan Rapinoe that you speak of?

lesbian activist women’s soccer player. She refused to stand for anthem. She barred a black Christian player from the national team because she wouldn’t wear a special gay pride flag on her uniform. She was the face of the women’s lawsuit demanding equal pay. They just lost in court because they negotiated their pay themselves.

They just lost in court because they negotiated their pay themselves.

Not to mention that it was discovered that they actually make a good bit more than the men do based on the percentage of revenue they generate. That was quite humorous.

**** the ESPY'S (whatever that is).

 

[wig]

The Espy's is an award show where ESPN gives little statues to the athletes who have done the most to misdirect attention away from the fact that they are the wealthiest, most successful and recognized people on the planet who do little other than feed their own egos and desires.

 

[Steelr4evr]

You would have to pay me to watch that show with Eat a Hoe hosting it.

**** just play sports! We watch sports to escape bullshit and now they just keep ******* with that too.

 

[Steeltime]

Meaghan Rapahoe is the reason why for the only time in my life, I rooted against a US team.

Ever.

Why does anyone give her that much thought?

Why does anyone give her that much thought?

It's media driven, for the cause.

She signed a "Defund The Police" letter. - https://dailycaller.com/2020/06/02/john-legend-megan-rapinoe-jane-fonda-defund-the-police-petition/

Wouldn't surprise me, but who knows what true anymore.

Surprising to nobody, the ESPY ratings tanked spectacularly. It seems very few people want to be lectured by rich athletes.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/espns-espy-awards-ratings-tank

"The prior low for the ESPYS came in 2011, when the show drew 1.98 million total viewers. This was less than one-quarter of that audience.”
