ESPN

ESPN alienated their audiences politicizing sports, and caused themselves financial distress.

ESPN was told by common sense not to politicize sports, that they were just entertaining escapism. They chose to go the other way. Now they're damn near going bankrupt as viewership is way down, advertising is way down, and the trends for the future look way down. So what did we learn?

Examples

2019.02.06 Assassination "Joke" - Jemele Hill (of ESPN and the Atlantic) made a tweet (now deleted) saying AOC should interrupt Trump's next State of the Union address, with the following quote, "GETCHO HAND OUT MY POCKET". This was what one of Malcom-X's killers said before murdering him. Jemele deleted the tweet and apologized, but few believe it was a joke. Without consequences.
Jemele Hill - Racist ESPN reporter that was finally fired for questioning the Cowboys fans. It wasn't multiple years of racist posts, or lies about the President.
