I don't watch them, but not a sports guy. I am the only one that stated that I would never spend money on a Disney Movie again (theater or buying DVD) aside from the Marvel movies already in the pipeline that I was committed to seeing with the wife. Now down to just the last two Avenger movies.
To be honest, that's the only thing that would change ESPN. People have been leaving their network in droves. They don't care. Want to make them care? Let some of this stink splash on the mouse. That's the only way it'll stop on those platforms.

I stopped a long time ago. The only time I tune in now is for Monday Night Football, and that's 16 games a year. ESPN just isn't what it once was. It used to be a bunch of people clearly having fun, and turned into a corporation trying to be politically correct while making money. At some point they stopped reporting sports and started hyping teams that made them a profit.
Although I do still hit their site for scores, headlines, and fantasy football (our league is there and it's free). Their site simply has the best layout for that stuff.I do go to other sites for the in depth stuff though as all the talented people have left ESPN.

Actually, the mouse is rumored to be thinking of dumping ESPN. It's just not making money. They way overpaid for the NBA and SEC content and are now figuring out that the audience for both is a lot lower than they thought. I always find it fascinating when an entity believes the hype it created for a product. ESPN blatantly favored the SEC for years and then discovered that despite them talking about the SEC non-stop, nobody outside of the south gave a fuck about the SEC. In fact, they hated it. Meanwhile, unless a game involved Cleveland or Golden State, nobody watched NBA games last year.

Some fucking judge actually approved this saying he'll "put in provisions to make sure no one abuses the use of information."
The bullshit has been granted under the guise of an investigation of an anti-Drumpf rally somewhere where some vandalism occurred.

That seems to have a lot less force than a court order.
