Plus, ESPN is the most expensive content about any cable carrier provides. Their program costs are high. People have also realized that you can watch any football game for free on the net from content outside the US.

If I want to watch a sports event (which happens rarely), the local hangout has three plasma TVs, and they don't have to all be tuned to the same show. This is a basic mom-and-pop with plywood walls, holds maybe 75 people when everyone is stuffed in. I imagine just about any crossroads bar in the US offers similar opportunities.
My son has recently bought a new smart tv and dropped his cable, the same thing thousands of people are doing....He's not missing anything, as it's all available online.....
It is odd that so much of major sports media is so PC... almost as if they feel the need to compensate for the fact that their field demonstrates racial and gender differences so clearly.

In the context of sports discussions, what does that even mean? Seriously - what are you guys seeing on ESPN that is so politically-motivated? It's freaking sports!

There is endless speculation and hand wringing in sports media over alleged underrepresentation of protected groups in various roles, or whether some remark someone made was racist, homophobic, misogynist, anti-Semitic, etc.
It has to do with their mix of sports. Also the amount they are charging for their programing.
