Report: Another massive round of layoffs could be coming at ESPN
ESPN has experienced a couple of rounds of layoffs in recent years, and according to reports, another massive round could be hitting soon.
Per Front Office Sports, the Worldwide Leader will potentially try cut tens of millions of dollars from its budget.
The report states that as many as 700 employees, many of whom work in behind-the-camera roles, could be laid off in the coming weeks:
ESPN could lay off hundreds of employees in the coming weeks, sources told Front Office Sports.
One source pegged the potential number of job losses between 300 and 700 employees. Another estimated 400 possible lost jobs.
Some on-air talent could also be impacted, but for now, it seems to mostly be behind-the-scenes workers in jeopardy.
The network’s highest-earning employees and executives could also be asked to take pay cuts.
Adam “safe space” Spencer and the rest of SDS staff may want to pay attention to the main cause.
Go woke, Go broke.
1 million percent agree with you, Mr. notttttTrudawg!
Sports are supposed to be an entertaining escape from the stress of the day to day. When the sports themselves and the media covering become propaganda arms of the Communist Party, they get what the NBA and ESPN are currently getting.
Does Adam Silver believe that removing the Communist logos from the court will convince fans to return to watching the game? ESPN could announce that starting next year, they will be 100% apolitical, and their ratings will not return in any great amount. People old enough to know what Communism is really all about never forgive or forget. Just like other cold war enemies, the only solution to the Communist is to drive them out of existence.
So, instead of paying for cable, we cut the cord. Then, we sent our remaining TVs to Goodwill. As a type this, I have Glenn Beck on Pluto TV, which is free online. I will have Dana Loesch on at 11AM, and then later, I will have Ben Shapiro on. In between, I will tune in OANN. Get the picture, you Connecticut Yankee Commies?
I failed to mention that my go-to cartoon is the Bugs Bunny episode called, “Southern Fried Rabbit.” It’s highly recommended and should be essential watching.
“The first dang Yankee that steps out of that dugout gets his head blasted off!” That’s all folks!
It literally has been many years since I actually watched a NBA game. I made that decision over a decade ago.
“Communism”, you keep using that word although it’s clear you don’t understand its meaning.
“He don’t know the meaning of that word. In fact, I seen his grades. He don’t know the meaning of a lotta words.”

You can tell by the fact that he brags about OAN and such that he’s geriatric and thinks the world should revolve around him. He’s also probably prone to believing wild conspiracies. All we have to do is invent one and before long it’ll be all over r/thedonald.
Get woke, Go broke. NBA learning that right now.
nottttt…totally agreed +1.
Finally! It’s nice to have a political article to distract us from this football season.
LOL – Well played Weagle99…well played
But of course it’s the behind the scenes folks who lose their jobs…how about laying of Kirk crybaby Herbstreit and big mouth Stephen A Smith or Max Kellerman…
On air personalities that are already making millions stay while those making an appropriate wage get fired. Why not fire 3 over payed loud mouthed people and save 700 jobs. Didn’t Stephen A Smith just get a raise recently? Who would missed that obnoxious jerk.
