ESPN lays off Ed Werder day before the NFL draft
And that's just the beginning of the bloodbath. Up to 100 ESPNers are expected to be axed, including a lot of on-air folks. So consider this the ESPN Layoffs Megathread to track all the victims.

Sucks about Len Elmore. I liked him. He was always a reasonable human on the air.

It can't be a salary thing. Gruden would be out the door. He doesn't relate to milenials. What about LeBatard? He's a nuance focused guy. What about Golic. WTF is he ? Does he even do anything? Last edited by Buehler445; 04-26-2017 at 08:14 PM.. |

George Soros attempts at cultural Marxism via ESPN have failed! MAGA!

That may be the most interesting aspect of this for people like us who are sports fans. Have we reached the peak? Most all of these leagues make big money off these rights fees. Will ESPN continue to pay to air all these sports or become more of a CNN or Fox News type channel where people just argue about sports all day? I imagine this is where groups like Amazon Prime and Netflix might step up during the next TV negotiations... one day one of these leagues is going to move to a streaming service. But will it be as much money? |

Too bad Mike and Mike, and Stephen A. Annoying Smith are still employed. Horrible.

I wonder if they could save some money by dumping on air talent and buying stuff like Aussie Rules Football, Cricket, and other sports for cheap to fill the air time.

I don't think it has much to do with their perceived politics because the stats bear out that people that would be offended by ESPN's perceived move to the left are probably not cord cutters. The vast majority of cord cutters are Millennials while older Americans aren't. |

I guess this churn explains Katie Nolan going after Hannity on twitter the other day.
