“Stop telling people to go to a website to save a multi-billion dollar deal,” McAfee said. “Nobody cares what you have to say.”
McAfee is urging all parties involved to find common ground so that fans can find easier access to ESPN’s sports coverage. McAfee believes sports plays a major factor in societal unity, so it’s paramount to reach a swift agreement.
“We need to be able to access this [expletive] easily,” McAfee said. “And also, sports are a unifier, man. Come on. We don’t want to hear about business [expletive].”
Yet, McAfee is realistic about the challenges that are currently halting any progress.
“Any time both sides feel like they have leverage and they feel like they have to to survive, that is a tough deal to get done,” McAfee said.
