It's far from over. When these players/crybabies/doctoral candidates sit down to negotiate their next contract but the revenue streams have dried, they'll make pennies instead of millions. I look forward to that day.
THIS! The very fact that they are all ENTERTAINMENT companies before sports leagues is why I took my attention elsewhere years ago. Sports leagues would not put up with players making millions while they make weekly headlines as criminals as well.
'But we stopped racism and transism and misc. other liberal pet causes so it was all worth it'. Oh, those Chinese sweatshops? Lol let's just not talk about that.
Remember a few years ago ESPN went to Cuba and Was there live for a few days sucking Castro off. An ESPN guy was live on the street and a Cuban dissenter ran to him to denounce Castro and begging for help ESPN guy pushed him off. He probably was executed soon after.
i remember a decade ago when i had cable 100% just because of ESPN. stopped watching ESPN a cpl years after that. took a few months after that before i realized hey i dont need cable at all.
suck it ConCast, Suck it ESPN, Suck it NFL i would say suck it NBA but they ruined pro basketball earlier than that.
MLB... you can suck it too but i will totally run back to you if you get your shit together
I'm in my 30's. When I look back at how I religiously followed sportsball, it's so damn cringeworthy. Maybe one day I'll look back at how I follow national politics the same, but Trump is a different beast. I never cared about Red Vs. Blue much before, saw 'em all the same. But yeah, sportsball is cringe.
I’m a 33 y/o woman. While other kids my age were watching MTV or BET 20 years ago, my tv always had ESPN News on. Even in the middle of dead summer when there was absolutely not a goddamn thing going on. Haha
The problem is branding they want their brands to be universal. Take coca cola they want you to see and know what it is be it in the u.s. argentina or china. Same with mcdonald's and same with espn. At least mcdonald's and coca cola know to shut up those media companies have no fucking idea on how to not dig their own graves
Yep. The "reporters" who spend more time talking about SJW things and the management that wants that need or go, not the behind the scenes support staff.
You don’t like a bunch of attractive women who only got the job because they look good in a tube dress calling you SEXIST!! when you mention how they don’t know shit about sports?
Haha, really? I'm not hating, man. But exceptions prove the rule, right? My mom coached youth league basketball. But for some reason they wouldn't let her coach me.
The way ESPN explains it I thought millions of their viewers were dying from Covid or are afraid to touch their remote controls for fear they'll catch it.
Funny they blame the 'rona for their financial troubles, while people are 'locked down' with nothing better to do than watch millionaire jigaboo sportsball
EXACTLY FUCKING THIS. Everyone is home and watching TV
This is the surest sign of people saying "Fuck that". Ha, I love it. America speaks with our wallet.
I bet the NBA is literally scrambling to back away from China and the left....after the election.
They all will. Watch them turn tail and start with "Hey you kids got any more of that PEEPEE MIGA".
The internet doesn't forget and neither do we. I've actually been making sure everything I can buy or need is made in the USA. Trying to stay away from cucked companies as well but that's hard.
Many people believed, including myself, that George Floyd was straight up murdered. Of course many companies would come out in support for BLM when that happened. But they have no excuse now, everyone now knows that Floyd killed himself with a drug overdose.
I grew up in Youngstown in the Kimmelbrook projects. I was beaten nearly to death several times by blacks as a child. I remember asking my mom 'what's a honkey' because I truly didn't know. Little black girls would put rocks in their purse and chase me home hitting me over the head with them.
So I'll say jigaboo if I want. I earned it with the scars all over my head and hands.
Oh yeah they liked to stab you with pencils too
Ever had pencil lead broke off in your forehead? I have, twice.
Also I have mixed race children so I have a honorary race card. MFers.
Yea I see racism to this day at work. Supervisor is always uber critical of whiteys, but black colleagues are sacrosanct despite numerous fuck ups. Actually heard the term, "my people," to defend this shit. Cool dude despite this shit, amd have a good relationship, but its blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain that this sentiment runs deep in the community.
I am the most anglo saxon looking motherfucker in existence. And I think racist jokes and terms are hilarious. White black chinese japanese indian jokes whatever. And I don't apologize or hide it. People think I'm an asshole and I don't care.
New Jersey blamed a mall shutting down on the Corona Virus. Malls haven't been profitable in 10+ years, and their new built mall went out of business 'mysteriously'.
Pretty soon we will learn that Disney is hurting much more than we originally thought.
I think it was Yellow Flash that pointed out releasing Mulan amidst corona indicates they are strapped for cash, and releasing it on other platforms indicates they are VERY strapped for cash.
ESPN is fukt, but we're only focusing on it because it's something we can see and quantify right now.
when the parks are open, they can spend upwards of $10000 per day just on the 9PM 15 minute fireworks show at the Anaheim location. How much more do you think the rest of the parks cost to maintain? And they’ve had zero cash flow in for months
almost everyone stopped caring about Marvel after Endgame
Star Wars is not the cash cow they were hoping for (except for Mandalorian, maybe)
the live action movies also haven’t been as profitable as hoped, but again, they also can’t release them in theaters
ESPN is hemorrhaging money, and that’s only accelerated this year
none of this is expected to change in the near future since California is run by morons
And Cuck Governor of Cali Gruesome Newsom just told Disneyland they can't open this year even with strict guidelines, despite the fact Disneyworld and Disney parks in other countries are open.
He's sticking to his stubborn attempt to obliterate the California economy and then beg for handouts whoever wins election. I hope the Fed government under 2nd term Trump tells Cali to go eat shit. We should NOT bail out a horribly run dictatorship that purposely is ruining their economy because 'we gotta hurt Drumpf!'
The majority of people buy the propoganda out here, so it is a fool's game to do anything too wild. Not a vast majority, but a majority nonetheless.
I know groups of people that seem pretty level headed and reasonable, but once it shifts to politics you find out they drank the "Republicans are evil" Kool-Aid. The multi-pronged brainwashing of entertainment, education, news media, and family traditions has been fairly effective.
The MCU is the most fucked franchise in the world right now.
Captain Marvel was supposed to be the new face of the franchise but no one cares at all
Black Panther was actually popular but then the actor died
Guardians of the Galaxy...who the hell even knows? The director might be a pedophile.
Endgame was a total disaster on every level - Thor got fat and played Fortnite, Captain America cucks an alternate timeline version of himself, Hulk dabs in a diner (literally)
Far From Home is such a bad Spider-Man sequel that it somehow makes Amazing Spider-Man 2 look okay somehow
Black Widow movie is coming out after the character died (look how that worked for Star Wars with Solo) and gets delayed on top of it
No one will ever, ever care about The Eternals. If the Guardians are discount Avengers, The Eternals are discount Inhumans.
The one-and-only good show they've ever done (Daredevil) got cancelled
The future of Spider-Man is some convoluted fan service multi-verse bullshit that will crash and burn harder than the Clone Saga comics from the 90s
The MCU is a zombie.
They are dead already, but they built up so much momentum over the past decade that the franchise will march forward for a few more years still. Which means they are going to continue doing massive damage to the franchise without realizing it.
DC has sucked for ages. But they're actually in a better position right now because The Joker was a good reset, and they can build a new series from there. Hell, even SONY is doing better. I'd rather start fresh off of something like Venom rather than shuffle forward with the dead weight of the MCU post-Endgame.
Spider-verse is a single solo spin-off that uses a multi-verse to play to fan service and references. It's basically LEGO Batman but with better animation.
Maybe that can work as a start of something new. But you can't take dozens of movies and smash them together five, ten, twenty years later. Guaranteed crash-and-burn.
The plot of Infinity War set Thanos up as this complex villain with complex motives, and I thought to myself, a cool way to end the next movie would be for them to show Thanos that his believed "utopia" was actually hellish and that he was wrong, leading to a redemption arc and a reversal. They spent an unreasonable amount of time in IW trying to explain his motives and making him relatable only to just do the monolithic badguy routine in Endgame. What happened in Endgame you could have replaced him with any random "I am evil hear me roar" badguy in any superhero movie ever.
I thought it was a colossal waste of storytelling and left some chekov's guns unfired.
But I guess it was a mistake to expect great storytelling from Disney anyway.
Ah I don't have a NYT account so it's not letting me read that. I guess the blame ultimately falls on Kathleen Kennedy, I don't know if she was a diversity hire but she was there before Disney bought them anyway
Also, remember that Disney went on a buying spree, buying all these intellectual properties for billions of dollars, so there is unpaid debt. Had they just came up with their own ideas, they'd probably be okay right now.
When that company finally dies we can begin a counter attack on rolling back copy right laws to what they were before Disney lawyers bribed Congress to extend them.
Oh there's been some rumors. If they were to be believed, Disney is actually shitcanning a lot of people responsible for the SJW culture that's infected it and brought their empire to a mountainous splash.
They supposedly sunk a ton of money into trying to reopen Disney World before being told "woops, we're gonna keep you locked down a bit longer there pops," and flushing it all down the drain.
IDK how much of the rumors are true, but the complete silence form official channels all but confirms at least some of it is.
So I’m old enough to remember when ESPN cared about sports and sports stats and sports players and sport sports sports.
Then they shifted to be more “hip” and their viewership fell like a rock and you had writers going “10 reasons ESPN sucks” and all of them going “I JUST WANT TO WATCH [sport]!!”
Surely alienating what little audience you had left by calling them all racist for.. something? Is a great business model.
Don't worry, the rich white people in DC and Techwokia will soon tax us to pay for ESPN and Hollywood. Demeaning people for having light skin color is a matter of national security.
Dont you know that the woke crowd is the new demographic they cater to now? I mean it's such a huge, vast market. So big that we've never seen them.
Never understood why these companies abandoned their key demographic customers for people who have very little interest in what they sell. They just fall victim to Twitter mobs and assume that's the majority of Americans talking to them.
If you go on Reddit and make a comment that says, "I just want to watch sports without politics or social commentary", you get immediately downvoted and called a bigot.
This is not an extreme position to take, if anything it's a centrist position. It shows how far left Reddit has gone and how anything moderate to right leaning gets censored. It's an echo chamber so far from reality it's laughable. This is why Trump must win in a landslide, their worldview must be crushed.
Let's pray every morning and day. Trump must win so these leftists scum take it in the ass another 4 years. It would hopefully redpill so many of them to wake up.
I read a post either here or somewhere else recently saying only about 20% of American adults are on Twitter, and of the people there only about 10% account for the majority of the content. So most of the Twitter trends that the MSM loves to push and that leftists use to inform their world view actually represents ~2% of the population; that's why they keep getting surprised by things that happen, for example when Boris Johnson won in a landslide in Britain, none of them saw that coming because they essentially live in a fantasy rather than reality. I'm confident that if that's true about Twitter it probably goes double for Reddit.
Yup, I've seen those figures about Twitter before. These tech companies have crafted their own leftwing paradises through censorship. Reality will come crashing down soon enough.
It's bigger than that. The right's values are American values. The left's values aren't. There are a LOT of Americans who no longer have American values. We must drag them kicking and screaming back to the real America.
Programming can be learned, but good programming is intuitive. There's a lot of really bad programmers out there, speaking from experience in seeing some of the bloated, memory leaking, crashriffic, shit out there.
I mean, really. Do you need 400 lines of code slapped into a custom micro controller, when you can do it all with a PLC that costs $25?
Programming can be learned, but good programming is intuitive
Wow, so it's like photography (what I do).
It's what I tell everyone about it... but more along the lines of "okay photography can be learned, but really good photography is intuitive".
You can still be okay at it and make bank, though. Turns out most people like trash, and can't really tell the difference between Peter Lindbergh quality and Johnny from the block quality.
Never knew that with photography, but it makes sense.
The guy I apprenticed under almost 30 years ago as a mechanic used to tell me, even people bad at the job could become mechanics and make a living do it. But they'll always miss the warning signs of something else. He always drilled into me "learn by rote, feel by skill." Or would say "trust your gut, it's almost always right."
Nothing I enjoy more than coming home from work and turning on the game and be lectured by a bunch of millionaires about my whiteness while they prance around in clothing from chinese sweat shops. Get fucked ESPN.
The country is locked down. TV ratings should be record breaking. They should be so high that they will never be topped. Instead it’s the complete opposite for the MARXIST FAGGOTS!!! 😂😂😂😂
Yep. Sports should be outdrawing their peak numbers from years ago. But everything is down. And some big. When a guy like me who watched almost every NASCAR race since 1990 ditches cable, the writing is on the wall. The bubble burst.
The new beta bitch generation isnt pickiny uo the baton either. If you shun half your audience, thats half of your base that will not be exposing their children to your product. They'll just go off amd play video games or more exhilarating shit that doesnt require a large time investment.
Yeah, I had taken my son to three or four tracks and was planning on hitting all of them in the south. Not now. That’s a potential fan likely gone forever. These soycucks don’t have kids.
All these idiots had to do was to basically follow the script they had. Sportscenter just about almost all day, then actually sports, then sports center till midnght then weird ass sports midnight to five.
All these sports pros had to do was to play the sports and shut the fuck up because they are nothing without the fans support. Those 100 to 200 million dollar contracts are because of the fans and our support. Hard working fans, who really put the red white and blue in America, all we want is a bit of an escape.
but nah bro, y'all fucking Kapernicked yourselves. It ain't because your black, it's cause you went 1-11.
So all you go fuck yourselves. You aren't worth my time no more.
I don’t understand why ownership bends the knee to these players. There’s plenty of players who would love the opportunity to play in the pros and will check their politics at the door.
Oh fuck yeah. Thank you. I cannot STAND televised basketball because of that squeaking! It's my misophonia, same thing that makes me want to punch someone who's smacking their food.
But also on a big screen TV basketball is so irritating to watch because the camera whips back and forth trying to focus closely on the players to get that highlight reel shot and it's just nauseating to watch.
I just can’t understand it...why do these businesses feel the need to virtue signal in the first place? Why can’t businesses just shut up and provide their service? The whole point of being in business is to maximize shareholder value, and they’re not doing that by alienating half the country. As Michael Jordan once said, “Republicans buy sneakers too.”
I took a required SJW class for college and I had this black lesbian socialist in the class. She actually believes wealth redistribution is the right way to go about solving black inequality (it isn’t).
But even SHE was against making traditionally white characters black.
She agreed with me that it was lazy and very disrespectful to both blacks and whites.
I told her that if your gonna make black characters then make black characters, but don’t just take Superman make him black and then tell the audience that Superman was always black.
It’s disrespectful to whites because your destroying their cultural icons, and it’s disrespectful to blacks because it shows that you were either too lazy or too incompetent to come up with new black characters to write about and instead had to steel from white culture to make up for it.
Well said. It has to be one of the most irritating things to me that these woke SJWs do. And Tink isn't just an iconic character, she's also a Disney mascot that appears in many Disney things, like Mickey and Jiminy Cricket. Also, a ton of her own fairy movies as well. Now suddenly she's black. And not for nothing, but there is a black fairy among Tink's friends in the fairy movie. So they don't have to change her. Ariel infiuriated me enough, but seeing them do it to Tink really aggrivates me.
A little bit unrelated to get woke go broke but it makes me sad seeing people I idolize or like turning into never trumpers. I can't tell if they just got caught up in the madness but it aways breaks my heart seeing another one
Arnold who's films I've watched since I was a kid and the guy who's poster I've had since I was a freshman
Steven king who wrote two of my favorite books of all time(wizard and glass and 11/22/63
Taylor swift who I had a gigantic crush on in high school
There's even a streamer who I like watching who's starting in on it.
There where a few other I can't remember. Even bruce lee's instagram (that's run by his wife) came out against trump.
Idk man. I try to be open minded but it gets harder and harder
it's the reality of the world we live in. battle lines are being drawn. brother against brother, like ACW round 1. I have family and friends who will be on the other side. to say nothing of actors and artists i like, as you say.
Go ahead and kneel for the National Anthem all you want now. Put rapist and murderers names on your jerseys in huge fucking letters. Suck commie cock till your belly bursts. Nobody cares anymore.
Play sports and not politics. I don't go to a debate to watch a basketball game break out. If you can't leave politics out of sports, I can surely leave your sports out of my life!
it almost seems as if they don't care they're going broke. the whole thing has been taken over and used as a communist propaganda machine. what's really going on here?
They probably told the players their salaries are gonna get cut in half next season because of all the lost ad revenue, only reason I can see them backing off this blm horseshit.
I got to watch as many of my coworkers and people I’m friends with got laid off. I then got to watch businesses being torched... and to top it all off, I was lectured by some multimillionaire sportsball players about how I have some sort of privilege due to the color of my skin (even though, if anything, it can be argued that it put me at a disadvantage most of my life).
Im glad they are gutting these companies, but unfortunately it’s going to fuck over a lot of the good employees. Do you think the woke as fuck whore in HR is going to get axed? Of course not.
The most amazing part of these huge ratings drop is THE WHOLE AUDIENCE IS AT HOME. Never in the history of televised sports has such a large portion not been at the games or out at the bars or lowering ratings by being at a friends house. This was their biggest opportunity to increase viewership, it was presented on a silver platter, and they fucked themselves in their own ass.
I guess espn hasn't figured out their audience isn't a bunch of gender fluid, purple haired, fat, mentally ill, retards or black skinny jean wearing, basement dwelling, noodle armed, black masked, bike lock wielding, unemployed slackers with mommy issues.
This is what happens when you hire people with gender studies degrees and a complete reality disconnect to run your company, and bow to a minority voice of mentally ill SJW's.
I bet they still don't get it. I bet they still think Cuomo and CNN are telling it like it is. Even after Hillary's defeat I bet they still think there's like 3 inbred, uneducated, toothless people playing banjos living between CA and NY and can't figure out how she lost. And those that do understand are fleeing like rats from the agents arresting people for human trafficking and child molestation.
Lets say you were a black man who really truly believed you were being oppressed. Do you want to be constantly reminded of it, or do you just want to watch a damn game?
The dumb thing to me is, do they not have marketing people that understand their demographics? I feel like most hard core sports fans could give a shit about supporting any woke initiatives...
People are still on lockdown in some states, like say.. NY for example, where they are said to be the mecca of basketball fans and overall talent, and while having all 4 major sports to broadcast and discuss while a lot of people are pretty much held as a captive viewing audience, ESPN still somehow cannot manage to get it right?
I spin through ESPN once a week or so, and even in their sports talk bits, they some fucking how shoe-in race issues. Hell, those dumbfucks said something about Dak not getting big money because of race.. meanwhile, his own black teammate, Zeke got PAID..never mind Wilson's contract, or god forbid.. Mahomes (black QB). How Teddy B got a starting job, how Cam got a starting job..how the Washington Potatoes rolled out Dwyane Haskins for weeks til being benched.. it was a totally one-sided, devoid of facts conversation.. fuck ESPN and that whole ensemble of human waste.
I haven't watched any NFL this year. The fact that the Falcons suck hasn't done them any favors in drawing me back either. So, Monday I decided to to switch over to MNF just to see what was going on.
Literally, the second I turned over, a BLM-type commercial came on and I was like "nope, I'm out!". That channel can F off. I'd like the money back from those Disney a-holes too that make everybody have to have that crap on even basic packages.
I dropped NFL in ‘16 with the first round of kneeling. I’ll watch T-giving and the Super Bowl out of sheer inertia, but that’s it. Life is much better without it. I can’t believe the amount of time I burned on it.
Something worth keeping an eye on is that advertisers know this happening and will not suffer loses for any reason. When the money isn't there anymore they will pull out or slash payments into a fraction of what they offered before. Getting your hands on those specific numbers next year tells the full story more than anything. When the sponsors start to go you know the ship is sinking.
That was NASCAR’s death spiral that started several years ago. The sponsors. Once you go from having quality companies to solar Ponzi schemes and Marcus Lemonis as some of your main sponsors it’s over.
ESPN, the sports clowns, writers have down AMERICANS a huge favor as has Hollywood. Weaning people off of being just spectators and hero worshipping people who can simply catch or .throw a ball, or even hit a puck.
It's time Americans started valuing the real skills that actually keep America moving & push civilization forward. PDJT is waking people up to this.
Play stupid games...
This comment has levels
I like to think it has layers like Barrys birth certificate psd
It's far from over. When these players/crybabies/doctoral candidates sit down to negotiate their next contract but the revenue streams have dried, they'll make pennies instead of millions. I look forward to that day.
I expect quite a few teams will need to sue for relief from their player and venue contract obligations.
I'm all tore up over that.
Their first name is literally "Entertainment", but they forgot the meaning of the word.
THIS! The very fact that they are all ENTERTAINMENT companies before sports leagues is why I took my attention elsewhere years ago. Sports leagues would not put up with players making millions while they make weekly headlines as criminals as well.
OTOH, they probably had to agree to go woke to open back up without a bunch of complaints.
nice name haha
Dayyuuummmmmm
OHHSHIT
What about cakes? Cakes have layers.
Parfaits!
Everybody loves parfaits!
true, you don't think about them until you see them offered and only then do you remember how much you love parfaits!
You keep peeling back layer after stinky layer until nothing is left but tears.
Yeah but there's always hope you'll get to the end of the rot. If it's an apple though...
Levels, Jerry. Levels.
I just don't see how you'd be comfortable like that
Like garroting themselves until the head comes off.
Yup.
Not even sure the lack of head will stop their SJW waving...
Win stupid prizes!
Abso-fuckin-lutely...
'But we stopped racism and transism and misc. other liberal pet causes so it was all worth it'. Oh, those Chinese sweatshops? Lol let's just not talk about that.
Go ahead and joke but where are we gonna get WNBA washouts lecturing us on politics now? This is so fucked, I’m literally shaking😡
Ummm... Footlocker?
Ummmm, excuse me sweety, the Chinese are not of European lineage therefore they are 100% diverse. You are not allowed to question them.
*sweaty
They are literally unleashing a campaign of soft ethnic cleansing to make all of China 100% Han Chinese.
Manchuria, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan, Sichuan, Tibet, and Qinghai are being colonized by Han Chinese settlers and displacing the local natives.
Need a genius like sandy cortez to lead it for real socialism to work
Perhaps white people found other things to do.
"That's ok, we were trying to enter the Chinese market anyways" - ESPN
Remember a few years ago ESPN went to Cuba and Was there live for a few days sucking Castro off. An ESPN guy was live on the street and a Cuban dissenter ran to him to denounce Castro and begging for help ESPN guy pushed him off. He probably was executed soon after.
😭
Bet that video got scrubbed fast than Kamala’s date too.
i remember a decade ago when i had cable 100% just because of ESPN. stopped watching ESPN a cpl years after that. took a few months after that before i realized hey i dont need cable at all.
suck it ConCast, Suck it ESPN, Suck it NFL i would say suck it NBA but they ruined pro basketball earlier than that.
MLB... you can suck it too but i will totally run back to you if you get your shit together
From the comments on the aeticle:
Yes that’s it, thank you. I really doubt that brave man survived the night.
I'm in my 30's. When I look back at how I religiously followed sportsball, it's so damn cringeworthy. Maybe one day I'll look back at how I follow national politics the same, but Trump is a different beast. I never cared about Red Vs. Blue much before, saw 'em all the same. But yeah, sportsball is cringe.
I’m a 33 y/o woman. While other kids my age were watching MTV or BET 20 years ago, my tv always had ESPN News on. Even in the middle of dead summer when there was absolutely not a goddamn thing going on. Haha
You mean to tell me that ESPN actually at one point talked about sports?
Right.
And I'm sure CNN at one point was "credible".
/s
And MTV played music videos. Had some interesting jazz and modern stuff going on.
The problem is branding they want their brands to be universal. Take coca cola they want you to see and know what it is be it in the u.s. argentina or china. Same with mcdonald's and same with espn. At least mcdonald's and coca cola know to shut up those media companies have no fucking idea on how to not dig their own graves
Diversity for China!
Tencent is in worse shape than softbank
The thing is, they won’t lay off the right people. The reporters driving the viewership down in the first place.
Yep. The "reporters" who spend more time talking about SJW things and the management that wants that need or go, not the behind the scenes support staff.
You don’t like a bunch of attractive women who only got the job because they look good in a tube dress calling you SEXIST!! when you mention how they don’t know shit about sports?
Imagine having a female head coach.
I love women. We have the best women, folks, believe me. But I'm not running through a wall for a woman.
Sports was one of the few things men will not give up for their women.
Need to trade the truck in for something that can handle car seats? No problem.
But want to go a friend’s wedding in the middle of the playoffs and your team is the number one seed? Bitch, bye.
I’m the opposite. Hell no the truck or motorcycle ain’t going. Don’t give a fuck about sportsball though
I never got into sportsball growing up.
My mom was all about it. Not me though.
I ended up getting into computers and guns.
Watch out. My momma coached High School football in the 1960's. Offensive and defensive line no less.
Haha, really? I'm not hating, man. But exceptions prove the rule, right? My mom coached youth league basketball. But for some reason they wouldn't let her coach me.
Was she 6'5 350?
Nope, but her son was only four inches short of that. Damn close to being the Alabama high school state powerlifting champion a few year later.
You ever squat 600 lbs? It's pretty cool.
The way ESPN explains it I thought millions of their viewers were dying from Covid or are afraid to touch their remote controls for fear they'll catch it.
Funny they blame the 'rona for their financial troubles, while people are 'locked down' with nothing better to do than watch millionaire jigaboo sportsball
EXACTLY FUCKING THIS. Everyone is home and watching TV
This is the surest sign of people saying "Fuck that". Ha, I love it. America speaks with our wallet.
I bet the NBA is literally scrambling to back away from China and the left....after the election.
They all will. Watch them turn tail and start with "Hey you kids got any more of that PEEPEE MIGA".
The internet doesn't forget and neither do we. I've actually been making sure everything I can buy or need is made in the USA. Trying to stay away from cucked companies as well but that's hard.
What company is NOT cucked? GOYA is about the only thing off the top of my head.
red bull
Black Rifle Coffee Co
Goliath Marketing
Taco Bell, WWE, UFC, Home Depot, New Balance, Revlon, LL Bean, Shell Oil, CVS Pharmacies ... just off the top of my head.
Oh, and don't forget Jordan sneakers.
"Republicans buy sneakers too" was his answer when they were pushing him to get political a long time ago. Gotta love the man.
Well shit
Hey, even Trump donated to both Biden and Harris before. People can change, corporations too
Dang, I just looked that up. Trump really has come a long way in realizing who loves and who hates America.
Pepsi spun off Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut years ago. They are now Yum Brands. And that company is BALLZ deep in ChYYYYna.
Well to be fair.
Many people believed, including myself, that George Floyd was straight up murdered. Of course many companies would come out in support for BLM when that happened. But they have no excuse now, everyone now knows that Floyd killed himself with a drug overdose.
The problem with that is even though it says made in the US, the parts were probably manufactured in China.
Exactly. People are tired of it.
I grew up in Youngstown in the Kimmelbrook projects. I was beaten nearly to death several times by blacks as a child. I remember asking my mom 'what's a honkey' because I truly didn't know. Little black girls would put rocks in their purse and chase me home hitting me over the head with them.
So I'll say jigaboo if I want. I earned it with the scars all over my head and hands.
Oh yeah they liked to stab you with pencils too
Ever had pencil lead broke off in your forehead? I have, twice.
Also I have mixed race children so I have a honorary race card. MFers.
Yea I see racism to this day at work. Supervisor is always uber critical of whiteys, but black colleagues are sacrosanct despite numerous fuck ups. Actually heard the term, "my people," to defend this shit. Cool dude despite this shit, amd have a good relationship, but its blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain that this sentiment runs deep in the community.
Idk, whatever, pin me, pay me.
I am the most anglo saxon looking motherfucker in existence. And I think racist jokes and terms are hilarious. White black chinese japanese indian jokes whatever. And I don't apologize or hide it. People think I'm an asshole and I don't care.
If I had a dollar for every racist joke i have told , some black guy would surely rob me.
you forgot the /s
Anyway 'racism' is as real as the tooth fairy
Just because you are a kid who chooses to believe it and money appears under your pillow in the morning doesn't make it 'real'
I'm sure it will
How bout this
Bahhhhhh says the sheep
Low energy fag
Right. If anything, covid would be driving TV viewership up, if that was the only thing at play.
New Jersey blamed a mall shutting down on the Corona Virus. Malls haven't been profitable in 10+ years, and their new built mall went out of business 'mysteriously'.
Pretty soon we will learn that Disney is hurting much more than we originally thought.
I think it was Yellow Flash that pointed out releasing Mulan amidst corona indicates they are strapped for cash, and releasing it on other platforms indicates they are VERY strapped for cash.
ESPN is fukt, but we're only focusing on it because it's something we can see and quantify right now.
Disney is gigafucc’d. Consider the following:
when the parks are open, they can spend upwards of $10000 per day just on the 9PM 15 minute fireworks show at the Anaheim location. How much more do you think the rest of the parks cost to maintain? And they’ve had zero cash flow in for months
almost everyone stopped caring about Marvel after Endgame
Star Wars is not the cash cow they were hoping for (except for Mandalorian, maybe)
the live action movies also haven’t been as profitable as hoped, but again, they also can’t release them in theaters
ESPN is hemorrhaging money, and that’s only accelerated this year
none of this is expected to change in the near future since California is run by morons
And Cuck Governor of Cali Gruesome Newsom just told Disneyland they can't open this year even with strict guidelines, despite the fact Disneyworld and Disney parks in other countries are open.
He's sticking to his stubborn attempt to obliterate the California economy and then beg for handouts whoever wins election. I hope the Fed government under 2nd term Trump tells Cali to go eat shit. We should NOT bail out a horribly run dictatorship that purposely is ruining their economy because 'we gotta hurt Drumpf!'
I'm surprised that california residents havent hung him from a light post yet.
In minecraft.
You have to fill me in on the 'in Minecraft' meme, I'm out of the loop.
It's a very popular video game.
Oh, thanks. That clears it up.
-owner of almost every console since NES
Yeah I don’t get it either.
The majority of people buy the propoganda out here, so it is a fool's game to do anything too wild. Not a vast majority, but a majority nonetheless.
I know groups of people that seem pretty level headed and reasonable, but once it shifts to politics you find out they drank the "Republicans are evil" Kool-Aid. The multi-pronged brainwashing of entertainment, education, news media, and family traditions has been fairly effective.
Marvel kept going after Endgame? It was such a disappointing end to the whole MCU anyway.
The MCU is the most fucked franchise in the world right now.
The MCU is a zombie.
They are dead already, but they built up so much momentum over the past decade that the franchise will march forward for a few more years still. Which means they are going to continue doing massive damage to the franchise without realizing it.
DC has sucked for ages. But they're actually in a better position right now because The Joker was a good reset, and they can build a new series from there. Hell, even SONY is doing better. I'd rather start fresh off of something like Venom rather than shuffle forward with the dead weight of the MCU post-Endgame.
I unironically loved Into the Spider-Verse. Then again, I still have the Peter Porker one-shot.
Spider-verse is a single solo spin-off that uses a multi-verse to play to fan service and references. It's basically LEGO Batman but with better animation.
Maybe that can work as a start of something new. But you can't take dozens of movies and smash them together five, ten, twenty years later. Guaranteed crash-and-burn.
Yep -- I heard that the writers of MCU recently said they're going to "introduce more diversity". Which never, ever, EVER brings more quality.
a bit off topic but let me just say....
The plot of Infinity War set Thanos up as this complex villain with complex motives, and I thought to myself, a cool way to end the next movie would be for them to show Thanos that his believed "utopia" was actually hellish and that he was wrong, leading to a redemption arc and a reversal. They spent an unreasonable amount of time in IW trying to explain his motives and making him relatable only to just do the monolithic badguy routine in Endgame. What happened in Endgame you could have replaced him with any random "I am evil hear me roar" badguy in any superhero movie ever.
I thought it was a colossal waste of storytelling and left some chekov's guns unfired.
But I guess it was a mistake to expect great storytelling from Disney anyway.
Your idea is worlds better than a poorly concocted time traveling MESS that ruined all the movies from 2014 and on.
I will never forgive Disney for what they did with Star Wars.
A great childhood series ruined by SJW diversity hires.
It's even leaking into their games.
To be fair they did do 1 thing right with Star Wars.
Every piece of star wars media that’s come out since Disney bought it has made EXCELLENT use of Darth Vader.
It doesn’t matter what medium, whenever Darth Vader appeared on screen he consumed it with badass vigor.
Diversity hires, what? JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson ruined it.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/22/movies/star-wars-last-jedi-women-run-universe.html
Ah I don't have a NYT account so it's not letting me read that. I guess the blame ultimately falls on Kathleen Kennedy, I don't know if she was a diversity hire but she was there before Disney bought them anyway
Their own doing by letting Kathleen Kennedy take a dump on the franchise.
Also, remember that Disney went on a buying spree, buying all these intellectual properties for billions of dollars, so there is unpaid debt. Had they just came up with their own ideas, they'd probably be okay right now.
When that company finally dies we can begin a counter attack on rolling back copy right laws to what they were before Disney lawyers bribed Congress to extend them.
Oh there's been some rumors. If they were to be believed, Disney is actually shitcanning a lot of people responsible for the SJW culture that's infected it and brought their empire to a mountainous splash.
They supposedly sunk a ton of money into trying to reopen Disney World before being told "woops, we're gonna keep you locked down a bit longer there pops," and flushing it all down the drain.
IDK how much of the rumors are true, but the complete silence form official channels all but confirms at least some of it is.
Disney World is open.
Florida is open
Disney Land in Cuckafornia is closed.
That's top kek right there. A new one for me.
alpha men with guns don't use reddit
I don't mean recently. That happened earlier, and it was a rumor, could have been in Land.
This was the only rumor I remember coming here:
https://thedonald.win/p/GIuou2oq/disney-in-a-death-spiral-guess-s/c/
The rest I heard through vfx industry talk.
Imagine fucking Disney up, I don’t even know if I could do that while trying to do so.
It’s really remarkable.
So I’m old enough to remember when ESPN cared about sports and sports stats and sports players and sport sports sports.
Then they shifted to be more “hip” and their viewership fell like a rock and you had writers going “10 reasons ESPN sucks” and all of them going “I JUST WANT TO WATCH [sport]!!”
Surely alienating what little audience you had left by calling them all racist for.. something? Is a great business model.
Don't worry, the rich white people in DC and Techwokia will soon tax us to pay for ESPN and Hollywood. Demeaning people for having light skin color is a matter of national security.
White people that are white until they need (((victimhood))) status.
Dont you know that the woke crowd is the new demographic they cater to now? I mean it's such a huge, vast market. So big that we've never seen them.
Never understood why these companies abandoned their key demographic customers for people who have very little interest in what they sell. They just fall victim to Twitter mobs and assume that's the majority of Americans talking to them.
Spot on. Never bow to the woke mob. Your apology will never be enough.
If you go on Reddit and make a comment that says, "I just want to watch sports without politics or social commentary", you get immediately downvoted and called a bigot.
This is not an extreme position to take, if anything it's a centrist position. It shows how far left Reddit has gone and how anything moderate to right leaning gets censored. It's an echo chamber so far from reality it's laughable. This is why Trump must win in a landslide, their worldview must be crushed.
Let's pray every morning and day. Trump must win so these leftists scum take it in the ass another 4 years. It would hopefully redpill so many of them to wake up.
I just want to watch sports while being barraged non-stop with themes and messages of American Exceptionalism and traditional values.
So we need a new patriotic sports network like early Fox
I read a post either here or somewhere else recently saying only about 20% of American adults are on Twitter, and of the people there only about 10% account for the majority of the content. So most of the Twitter trends that the MSM loves to push and that leftists use to inform their world view actually represents ~2% of the population; that's why they keep getting surprised by things that happen, for example when Boris Johnson won in a landslide in Britain, none of them saw that coming because they essentially live in a fantasy rather than reality. I'm confident that if that's true about Twitter it probably goes double for Reddit.
Reddit is far more suppressive than Twitter which leads to like 10x the delusion.
Yup, I've seen those figures about Twitter before. These tech companies have crafted their own leftwing paradises through censorship. Reality will come crashing down soon enough.
It's bigger than that. The right's values are American values. The left's values aren't. There are a LOT of Americans who no longer have American values. We must drag them kicking and screaming back to the real America.
Learn to code?
ESPN is based in the shit hole state of CT, which is still locked down. Good luck.
Programming can be learned, but good programming is intuitive. There's a lot of really bad programmers out there, speaking from experience in seeing some of the bloated, memory leaking, crashriffic, shit out there.
I mean, really. Do you need 400 lines of code slapped into a custom micro controller, when you can do it all with a PLC that costs $25?
Wow, so it's like photography (what I do).
It's what I tell everyone about it... but more along the lines of "okay photography can be learned, but really good photography is intuitive".
You can still be okay at it and make bank, though. Turns out most people like trash, and can't really tell the difference between Peter Lindbergh quality and Johnny from the block quality.
Never knew that with photography, but it makes sense.
The guy I apprenticed under almost 30 years ago as a mechanic used to tell me, even people bad at the job could become mechanics and make a living do it. But they'll always miss the warning signs of something else. He always drilled into me "learn by rote, feel by skill." Or would say "trust your gut, it's almost always right."
Nothing I enjoy more than coming home from work and turning on the game and be lectured by a bunch of millionaires about my whiteness while they prance around in clothing from chinese sweat shops. Get fucked ESPN.
Was there anything worse than Kuck Herbstreet crying about his whiteness? Good lord.
Don’t know. Didn’t see it. Don’t have cable.
Did he really? No longer watch espn. When did he do that?
ESPN Gameday two weeks ago on that Saturday morning.
I imagine it was pathetic and nauseating. Glad I missed it.
The country is locked down. TV ratings should be record breaking. They should be so high that they will never be topped. Instead it’s the complete opposite for the MARXIST FAGGOTS!!! 😂😂😂😂
Yep. Sports should be outdrawing their peak numbers from years ago. But everything is down. And some big. When a guy like me who watched almost every NASCAR race since 1990 ditches cable, the writing is on the wall. The bubble burst.
The new beta bitch generation isnt pickiny uo the baton either. If you shun half your audience, thats half of your base that will not be exposing their children to your product. They'll just go off amd play video games or more exhilarating shit that doesnt require a large time investment.
Yeah, I had taken my son to three or four tracks and was planning on hitting all of them in the south. Not now. That’s a potential fan likely gone forever. These soycucks don’t have kids.
All these idiots had to do was to basically follow the script they had. Sportscenter just about almost all day, then actually sports, then sports center till midnght then weird ass sports midnight to five.
All these sports pros had to do was to play the sports and shut the fuck up because they are nothing without the fans support. Those 100 to 200 million dollar contracts are because of the fans and our support. Hard working fans, who really put the red white and blue in America, all we want is a bit of an escape.
but nah bro, y'all fucking Kapernicked yourselves. It ain't because your black, it's cause you went 1-11.
So all you go fuck yourselves. You aren't worth my time no more.
And just basic financial calculation.
Why fall on your sword for 12.7% of the country when it is going to at least annoy half of the 73%
Unless Chyna
A lot of it is Chyna, but that's not going to work out for them either if we win this election.
The quicker that professional sports are dead, the better. I am tired of black millionaires telling me how racist I am.
I don’t understand why ownership bends the knee to these players. There’s plenty of players who would love the opportunity to play in the pros and will check their politics at the door.
The sound a basketball makes on the court is annoying. Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.
Oh fuck yeah. Thank you. I cannot STAND televised basketball because of that squeaking! It's my misophonia, same thing that makes me want to punch someone who's smacking their food.
But also on a big screen TV basketball is so irritating to watch because the camera whips back and forth trying to focus closely on the players to get that highlight reel shot and it's just nauseating to watch.
Those are the players' shoes squeeking, not the ball.
ya for real you guys are confused
Me & GeneralTsoTofu are confused?
no the people that never realized it’s their shoes squeaking not the ball
Gotcha
Sneakers.
It doesn't matter because they have infinite Disney money to support them, and because they are viewed as an indispensable part of cable packages.
Thanks for posting that link.
I'll do what I can.
Sad, but you are correct. The only reason I have You Tube TV is college football on ESPN.
Soon as the season is over I will cancel it. That is literally 99% of the TV I watch all year.
sportsurge.net
stream it without supporting espn
I just can’t understand it...why do these businesses feel the need to virtue signal in the first place? Why can’t businesses just shut up and provide their service? The whole point of being in business is to maximize shareholder value, and they’re not doing that by alienating half the country. As Michael Jordan once said, “Republicans buy sneakers too.”
Disney continues to plummet, hahaha. That's what happens when you blackwash longtime favorite characters like Tinkerbell and Ariel.
Fun fact
I took a required SJW class for college and I had this black lesbian socialist in the class. She actually believes wealth redistribution is the right way to go about solving black inequality (it isn’t).
But even SHE was against making traditionally white characters black.
She agreed with me that it was lazy and very disrespectful to both blacks and whites.
I told her that if your gonna make black characters then make black characters, but don’t just take Superman make him black and then tell the audience that Superman was always black.
It’s disrespectful to whites because your destroying their cultural icons, and it’s disrespectful to blacks because it shows that you were either too lazy or too incompetent to come up with new black characters to write about and instead had to steel from white culture to make up for it.
Well said. It has to be one of the most irritating things to me that these woke SJWs do. And Tink isn't just an iconic character, she's also a Disney mascot that appears in many Disney things, like Mickey and Jiminy Cricket. Also, a ton of her own fairy movies as well. Now suddenly she's black. And not for nothing, but there is a black fairy among Tink's friends in the fairy movie. So they don't have to change her. Ariel infiuriated me enough, but seeing them do it to Tink really aggrivates me.
A little bit unrelated to get woke go broke but it makes me sad seeing people I idolize or like turning into never trumpers. I can't tell if they just got caught up in the madness but it aways breaks my heart seeing another one
Arnold who's films I've watched since I was a kid and the guy who's poster I've had since I was a freshman
Steven king who wrote two of my favorite books of all time(wizard and glass and 11/22/63
Taylor swift who I had a gigantic crush on in high school
There's even a streamer who I like watching who's starting in on it.
There where a few other I can't remember. Even bruce lee's instagram (that's run by his wife) came out against trump.
Idk man. I try to be open minded but it gets harder and harder
it's the reality of the world we live in. battle lines are being drawn. brother against brother, like ACW round 1. I have family and friends who will be on the other side. to say nothing of actors and artists i like, as you say.
Ha, we should demand that. Like start "take a knee to deport Lebron" events and play chinese anthem ironically.
People really don’t like lefty politics mixed with their freetimes
any politics. I watch sports for sports, not politics
Go ahead and kneel for the National Anthem all you want now. Put rapist and murderers names on your jerseys in huge fucking letters. Suck commie cock till your belly bursts. Nobody cares anymore.
Play sports and not politics. I don't go to a debate to watch a basketball game break out. If you can't leave politics out of sports, I can surely leave your sports out of my life!
it almost seems as if they don't care they're going broke. the whole thing has been taken over and used as a communist propaganda machine. what's really going on here?
They probably told the players their salaries are gonna get cut in half next season because of all the lost ad revenue, only reason I can see them backing off this blm horseshit.
Looks like they can’t ignore it.
GWGB confirmed.
I got to watch as many of my coworkers and people I’m friends with got laid off. I then got to watch businesses being torched... and to top it all off, I was lectured by some multimillionaire sportsball players about how I have some sort of privilege due to the color of my skin (even though, if anything, it can be argued that it put me at a disadvantage most of my life).
Im glad they are gutting these companies, but unfortunately it’s going to fuck over a lot of the good employees. Do you think the woke as fuck whore in HR is going to get axed? Of course not.
I am so not sorry.
Hey asshole leftist shill downvoting every comment. FUCK YOU IM STILL VOTING TRUMP!
The most amazing part of these huge ratings drop is THE WHOLE AUDIENCE IS AT HOME. Never in the history of televised sports has such a large portion not been at the games or out at the bars or lowering ratings by being at a friends house. This was their biggest opportunity to increase viewership, it was presented on a silver platter, and they fucked themselves in their own ass.
I guess espn hasn't figured out their audience isn't a bunch of gender fluid, purple haired, fat, mentally ill, retards or black skinny jean wearing, basement dwelling, noodle armed, black masked, bike lock wielding, unemployed slackers with mommy issues.
This is what happens when you hire people with gender studies degrees and a complete reality disconnect to run your company, and bow to a minority voice of mentally ill SJW's.
I bet they still don't get it. I bet they still think Cuomo and CNN are telling it like it is. Even after Hillary's defeat I bet they still think there's like 3 inbred, uneducated, toothless people playing banjos living between CA and NY and can't figure out how she lost. And those that do understand are fleeing like rats from the agents arresting people for human trafficking and child molestation.
Not even that.
Sports is an escape.
Lets say you were a black man who really truly believed you were being oppressed. Do you want to be constantly reminded of it, or do you just want to watch a damn game?
The dumb thing to me is, do they not have marketing people that understand their demographics? I feel like most hard core sports fans could give a shit about supporting any woke initiatives...
They figured they can brainwash them into believing the lie. Failed terribly.
NBA, NHL, and NFL should never be allowed to operate on US soil again.
Dont forget MLB.
Defund Disney
People are still on lockdown in some states, like say.. NY for example, where they are said to be the mecca of basketball fans and overall talent, and while having all 4 major sports to broadcast and discuss while a lot of people are pretty much held as a captive viewing audience, ESPN still somehow cannot manage to get it right?
I spin through ESPN once a week or so, and even in their sports talk bits, they some fucking how shoe-in race issues. Hell, those dumbfucks said something about Dak not getting big money because of race.. meanwhile, his own black teammate, Zeke got PAID..never mind Wilson's contract, or god forbid.. Mahomes (black QB). How Teddy B got a starting job, how Cam got a starting job..how the Washington Potatoes rolled out Dwyane Haskins for weeks til being benched.. it was a totally one-sided, devoid of facts conversation.. fuck ESPN and that whole ensemble of human waste.
Too bad the dipshit wokenians won’t get fired, just the ones who likely do the real work behind the scenes who could care less about virtue signaling.
OhNoAnyway.jpg
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I guess the Alyssa Milano line of “pink Raiders pussyhats” aren’t selling as well as previously thought
I haven't watched any NFL this year. The fact that the Falcons suck hasn't done them any favors in drawing me back either. So, Monday I decided to to switch over to MNF just to see what was going on.
Literally, the second I turned over, a BLM-type commercial came on and I was like "nope, I'm out!". That channel can F off. I'd like the money back from those Disney a-holes too that make everybody have to have that crap on even basic packages.
I dropped NFL in ‘16 with the first round of kneeling. I’ll watch T-giving and the Super Bowl out of sheer inertia, but that’s it. Life is much better without it. I can’t believe the amount of time I burned on it.
Something worth keeping an eye on is that advertisers know this happening and will not suffer loses for any reason. When the money isn't there anymore they will pull out or slash payments into a fraction of what they offered before. Getting your hands on those specific numbers next year tells the full story more than anything. When the sponsors start to go you know the ship is sinking.
That was NASCAR’s death spiral that started several years ago. The sponsors. Once you go from having quality companies to solar Ponzi schemes and Marcus Lemonis as some of your main sponsors it’s over.
Every single sport's TV ratings crashing while people have been locked down for 7 months should have told them something.
ESPN, the sports clowns, writers have down AMERICANS a huge favor as has Hollywood. Weaning people off of being just spectators and hero worshipping people who can simply catch or .throw a ball, or even hit a puck.
It's time Americans started valuing the real skills that actually keep America moving & push civilization forward. PDJT is waking people up to this.
This makes me happy. I can only hope the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB all have similar outcomes.
Funny how the polls that exist in reality are different than the ones that exist on twitter feeds.
Also, LOL GET FUCKED LEFTISTS.
