But ESPN ran a pro refugee bullshit thing tonight. Stick to sports assholes.

With that said, TV is in decline in general. people don't need ESPN to see daily highlights anymore. just like people don't get their news from network television anymore.

The one time ESPN went deep into politics that I thought was interesting and made sense was when the MLB games were in Cuba and they played the Dan LeBetard story of his parents being Cuban refugees and how hard it was for him to see America and baseball and ESPN embracing Cuba now.

For me that worked since it was personal and enlightening and it seemed that the story was the agenda rather than a specific political bent.

But as a rule, yeah, it doesn't work.

The town halls about race they do are insufferable. If someone wants to tune in to watch politics espn would be the last place that they go. ESPN is great with live sports. But their other content needs a remodel. If there is even a market for nonlive sports content anymore which there may not be.
