Yeah, dumping big salary for low salary is the way of the world, regardless of quality. Even better if you can get rid of an old white man and replace him with a diversity hire.
Disney ruins everything they touch.
Well to be fair ESPN was pretty sorry before Disney also.
I worked with ESPN in the late 80s then started my own company around 1992. ESPN allowed our company to receive 22 National Sports Emmy awards, the Edward R. Murrow award and many others.
To say that ESPN has always been bad is not only wrong, it is insulting! ABC and ESPN have been one since 1984! Disney bought them in 1995. Wide World of Sports set the standard for Saturday Sports Coverage!
I don't think any Network has much of a chance to make a lot of money anymore. That's just the way it is.
That includes TNT, NBC, CBS. Just the way the future is going to be
I don't mind people trashing ESPN, Just remember, there are real people behind Networks.
