Used to LOVE CNN Sports as well.
We were getting our scores from CNN Headline News at :50 after the hour. Van Earl Wright was the man!

ESPN got involved in the race issues last summer by having Obama on a couple of times, and also with the speeches by the NBA players at the start of the ESPYs. I could see that bothering people.
I doubt the Schilling firing did much damage because both conservatives and liberals realize Schilling is a moron.
Civil Rights are a Liberal position?
I think the point is - it ain't sports. There are heap many places to go for that if you want it. Most people tuning into ESPN aren't tuning in for that.
Weather Channel is also dying because technology passed them by. Who waits for the weather on the 8s now? Smart phone app gives me everything right now.
F-ESPN
The actual problem is that these racial issues are turned political by the intolerant less Liberal among us.
For like the thousandth time you can opt out of politics.I understand the frustration about ESPN and its pushing of political views. It's the same frustration many members of this site have with the large number of political threads visible on the front page, especially if they are unable to block the political threads. People are turning in for sports coverage, not political lectures.
Quoting my own post...i will wake up at some point and be annoyed by something. OFF goes the internet!Only time I watch anything after a game is if i fall alseep.
Headline News. There's another channel I used to love that has gone to ****. If I wasn't watching ESPN, I had Headline News running in the background while I did other stuff around the house. I loved their format.We were getting our scores from CNN Headline News at :50 after the hour. Van Earl Wright was the man!
Didn't expect this to turn in to a cave thread...

right, and one of those reasons doesn't make any damned sense. Or do you no longer see a dentist because the last dentist you had was a liberal? You've stopped reading any newspapers because the Register printed a column you didn't like. You can't even watch the news anymore because that one guy on that one station is a complete leftist hippie.
Its more like people don't go to the dentist to get a lecture on politics. People look to sports as an escape from politics and real world problems. That's why when ESPN incorporates political opinion in their shows more frequently it turns people away.
