ESPN is just sports edition foxnews lite. How do people fall into the same player formulas with worse spokesmen? They’ve played the same game since 2006

People hate it, myself included, but that’s the audience in 2026. Washed frat boys into obscure poly market bets and say “I’m politically neutral……. BUT…” is big business.$60 million a year for McAfee

pat brings in the audience. not sure how that translates to actual dollars, but the clicks/viewership probably justified them making that deal. same with SAS when he is up.
disney spending 250Ms on Moana live action didn't help. as a former $DIS shareholder, some of the companie's decision makes me just

Just a quick search, didn’t reify, but pat’s numbers overshadow a bunch of other people’s and shows. I don’t know how bloated that is with him being on screen damn near all day, but I’m sure their math is checking.pat brings in the audience. not sure how that translates to actual dollars, but the clicks/viewership probably justified them making that deal. same with SAS when he is up.

Sports betting being huge shifted things as well. People aren’t going to espn for “sports” like they used to. It’s just a platform now

Aren't tv ratings for espn besides live sports all down across the board? In the year 2026, their stupid, repetitive all day long debate shows mostly get viewership from gyms, doctors / dentist offices, and bars just leaving their TV's on the channel. Yet they stupidly pay crazy high salaries for 3 network personalities that most people can't stand or hate. greenberg has the personality of a rock. Yeah he's a company man who will host whatever show you give him but someone making a quarter of his salary can also do that.
I'm still mad Around The Horn was cancelled. That was the last good show left on the network.

People get fired during their shift all the time. Not saying it's right or ok but that's the game.
Would it have been nice if ESPN let RC go before or after he finished the show? Yes.
Ultimately, your employer as well as mine don't owe us that.

Getting fired while filming live television? Yes, I do think they owe someone that. Talking about a 20-30min difference here. “That’s business” isn’t 100% correct and gives these people a pass. I’ve been part of business ownership. This idea of cut throat, screw everyone over for a dollar, bs isn’t “business”. That’s being an ***. Part of business is having people want to work with you for as long as you’re standing. If who you work for things they don’t owe you nothing but a paycheck you need to work somewhere else.
If someone is fired during their shift then they most of been doing something seriously wrong.

I wonder how much most of these folks are actually making and what cost savings they’re trying to get.

You and I have had different experiences. I worked for an employer that fired someone right after they got back from lunch. In our department there was 40-50 people that witnessed this person get fired. If you take RC firing at face value he got fired towards the end of his shift. Many people get fired that way.
I personally got let go from a job and all I got was an email link to a town hall speech by one of the executives. I was let go 2 hours into my shift. It ain't right or fair but they didn't owe me anything.

Where the hell where you working, and what position? Yes, they do owe you something. Basic human decency is owed to everyone. It’s sad that you feel you’re not worth the bare minimum

Man the workplace culture is a dumpster fire
For people to believe they're not owed that at least that is wild
Most ppl in general are owed alot more lol. Including you and your former peers
