Shame.

I guess that makes sense... I was flipping through channels and saw a marble world olympics on ESPN2. They jokingly called it ESPN8 (the ocho).

So you're telling me Sportscenter's ratings are crashing without sports to cover?

Interesting.

I saw the rock skipping championships on there. That was pretty good but about the only sports I have seen except for some Tiger Football games from last year.

They should break out their old log rolling competition footage.

^ exactly...

I’ve heard they’re running the national yodeling championships this weekend...

They might as well cut sportscenter and just replay old classic MMA and boxing matches.

NTR

I would have though that this would be the perfect time for sports journalists to do more in-depth writing, like investigative journalism. I guess they don't want to bite the hands that feed them.

Furloughs and layoffs.

They've taken it upon themselves to report on the all the protesting and stuff, sports has become secondary to them now. The SP in ESPN stands for social and political now.

Before today the only sports to report on were the Bundesliga, Korean Baseball and Asian horse racing. What were they supposed to do?

Um they did that. You just didn't like what sports writers investigated(BLM/COVID-19 and its effect on sports, NCAA corruption, etc). And that's fine. You don't have to like everything. Everybody has their own likes and dislikes.

Lord

NBA Ratings were way down in April and May

So were the French Open and the Tennis Channel

It was either because Roger Federer and LeBron James spoke up, or because they were not actually playing.

That is a poser

Wow. You would think with no sports they’d have great ratings? I don’t watch much as I use to but I do enjoy SVP at night. He’s a pro.
