Shock: Days After ESPN Releases New Guidelines on Political Statements From Employees, They Bounce Conservative-Leaning Host In Favor of Liberal-Leaning Host
Sage Steele, whose name was really built for either a porn star or a sexy elite assassin employed by Lex Luthor, was one of the few conservative-tilting people at ESPN. She's complained that #Resistance "protesters" caused her to miss a flight, and that black people were "hypocritical" on racism, and that some of the worst racism she's encountered has come from blacks. (She's black herself.)
A few days ago ESPN issued new guidelines on what was permissible commentary on political issues from ESPN hosts on "public-facing media" (that is, any public statement, on Twitter, FaceBook, what have you). They said they wanted their "hard news" people to refrain from such commentary unless it was sports-related. On the other hand, they encouraged non-hard-news people to connect sports with politics. "People are talking about politics in a different way now," the directive said, by which they meant the leftwing is now politicizing everything, and then concluded that ESPN must embrace this "new way" of injecting leftist politics into everything. By the way, I have no idea what "hard news" is in the contest of sports coverage. It's a field consisting primarily of inventing awesome catchphrases like "Booyah!" and "Off the schneid." Well, now Sage Steele is out of her job. Leftwingers only thing conservative statements are "political;" their own claims are just the Holy Truths of #Science. Ergo, the first person to be purged is Sage Steele, though they claim she's still "very much employed" by ESPN.She's just not hosting the show she used to host.
She'll be part of ESPN's "Sports Center On the Road Initiative," and if that's what it sounds like, all I can say is, Everyone loves being kicked out of a gig where they show up at the same place every day in order to be put on a bus and travel around the country. People love traveling every day of their working lives. Outkick the Coverage discusses this:
The next day [after issuing the new guidelines encouraging employees to talk about the politics in the guise of sports] MSESPN did what MSESPN does -- it replaced a prominent conservative voice, Sage Steele, with a prominent liberal voice, Michelle Beadle. You'll recall that Beadle has spent much of the past several months on Twitter denigrating Donald Trump and those who voted for him. If Beadle had Tweeted the same things about Barack Obama and his voters, she'd be fired. But say it about Trump and his voters -- millions of whom watch ESPN every day -- and at MSESPN this is cause for promotion. After the news went public of her removal from NBA coverage Steele trended on Twitter, being ripped by a mostly black audience for the audacity she has to not be a left wing liberal in sports.....Apparently she got ripped in sexist and racist terms on Twitter yesterday -- the left celebrating the purging of a Race and Gender Traitor -- but no one stepped in to defend her. Not even ESPN, for whom she is supposedly "very much employed."
No one came to her aid in the sports media as these attacks ripped through social media all day long. There was total Twitter silence from MSESPN. You know, MSESPN, the same network that tried to make it appear that only women in sports media ever get bad things said about them online when they staged a viral video about mean Tweets to try and bolster their liberal talent's name recognition. Why is it when people with conservative opinions are attacked on social media the entire sports media goes silent? Why does MSEPN only protect liberal and left wing political beliefs? Especially when, let's be honest, it takes much more bravery for Steele to not trot out the same bland liberal political cliches.Outkick the Coverage has previously speculated that ESPN's boss of bosses, Disney CEO Bog Iger, wants to run for president, so he's cooking himself up a leftwing media empire as his resume for the left, and his messaging center. I hate being right all the time. Update: Yeah, the "On the Road Initiative" is what I thought it was.
SportsCenter on the Road powered by Ford, which brings ESPN’s signature news and information program out of the studio and to sports events, will add more locations to its schedule over the next year. The initiative, which includes traveling anchors, crew and a set to events, began in early 2015 and has originated SportsCenter programs from more than 30 locations.So she's lost her regular hosting gig and now will just do a whole bunch of traveling. And as anyone can tell you, what a life it is to constantly be away from home and living large on room service and hotel pay-per-view. Booyah!, ESPN. "Unconscious." Cool as the other side of the pillow. PS: To see @michelleDBeadle's political tweets in the past month, see my Twitter feed for the past 20 minutes, where I've been RT-ing them. I guess ESPN is encouraging people to "connect sports to politics" -- but only some sorts of politics.

Iger's situation is very different from Trump's.
Trump was a media personality who can also manager. Iger is a manager.
I'd love to see him jump into the race and blow a hundred million dollars of his own money in the primary to get Jeb Bushed.

I mean really, unless someone was dropped on planet Earth just yesterday, does any of this surprise anybody?
She had to have made a choice, knowing how this would go. Maybe it's what she wanted, maybe she's making a point, maybe she's doing her own personal Rosa Parks, saying she will NOT go to the back of the bus.
Whatever the case, I cannot imagine she didn't know how this would go.

I was listening to the Indians game last night because yaaay baseball is back and the announcers were discussing how it'll be about 7 weeks since they were last home. As Hammy said, they didn't want anyone to feel bad for them, they are lucky to do what they do, but not being home for 2 months is hard on everyone.

Steele committed the cardinal sin of daring to challenge the liberal orthodoxy that racism can only come from whites. While speaking at a conference on race in February, Steele said, "The worst racism that I have received [ as a biracial woman married to white man ], and I mean thousands and thousands over the years, is from black people, who in my mind thought would be the most accepting because there has been that experience. But even as recent as the last couple of weeks, the words that I have had thrown at me I can't repeat here and it's 99 percent from people with my skin color. But if a white person said those words to me, what would happen?"

ESPN gets hit a whole lot harder than any of the other networks when a customer cuts the cord.
It's also much harder for them to work around it because all of their contracts with the NFL, NCAA, MLB, and everyone else are ridiculously constrictive on what ESPN can do in terms of streaming.

Young lady, I could have told you that he was misinformed....
I stopped watching ESPN about a year ago, and I quickly discovered that it had been simple inertia that had me flipping it on a few times a day. My local dedicated sports networks (ESPN for the Yankees, etc) are so much better at reporting the interesting stuff that I didn't miss it at all.
But I am still paying for it, which sucks donkey cock. I would cheerfully accept a la carte pricing, even if it meant a bigger cable bill, just so i could direct my money away from ESPN and their hyper-leftist ilk.

You don't need the government to do anything.
The market is already doing it.
Most networks provide individual subscription based services through smart TVs and things like Roku.
The best bet is to keep government out of the process completely. You know they'd only find ways to screw up the progress.

I can relate to this. When I was in the Navy, I occasionally dated white guys. Let me tell you...black people, especially black women, can be some of the most hateful people when it comes to dating outside the race. Some black guys had issues with it, only because I wouldn't give their dusty aka trifling asses the time of day. But the black women...just hateful. And I suspect it had a lot to do with jealousy. Anyways, I know how she feels and it can take a toll on you.

Seriously, try an experiment the next time you need to stay home from the office for illness, or home repairs, or whatnot. Watch some daytime TV.
When I was a kid and watched daytime TV, the commercials were full of vocational training firms, from truck driving to computer technicians, secretarial to nursing to dental assistants. Anyway, you get the idea. Aimed at unemployed people looking for jobs, or housewives whose kids had grown to latchkey stage and now wanted job training. When the programs were not cartoons, which were full of kid products, of course.
Now? The commercials are how to sue someone else, bail bonds, criminal lawyers, and I could go on and on. They are advertising for the ghetto people, not the housewives and the unemployed, now.

I think you may be underestimating ESPN's financial troubles.
They're already in the hole. They can't pay for what they're promised to pay over the next few years, and that's assuming flat viewership.
And no, it's not giving up. It's understanding the situation, and letting it play out. Like when Sun Tzu says to let your enemy make a mistake without interrupting him.
Sometimes, the best way to fight is to not engage, but to let the enemy shoot itself in the foot.

Could it be that they ARE cornering their market, as Rev Dr E Buzzy pointed out, namely, the Black Grievance Industry?
I remember thinking after the disgusting O.J. Simpson acquittal, that even though his lucrative product endorsements and movie and TV roles would end, that there would still be malt Liquor and speciality hair care product endorsements for O.J. to fall back on. I am surprised that did not happen.
Yes, I went there....

Four blokes are chosen, three of which get a spider and have to cram it in the kangaroo's pouch to win, while the fourth bloke uses the two snakes to try and prevent the other three from succeeding.
The death rate is only 87%, which is pretty decent for down under.

Streaming was a valid alternative, but the trend there is going back to the cable model. The latest AppleTV makes this clear - to stream increasingly requires existing pay TV subscriptions, which certainly bundle. So if I want to stream Food Network, I need a cable subscription.
And more and more, streaming is just cable on the internet. DIRECTV NOW, for instance.

The only teams that matter are the Nittany Lions football squad, the Red Sox, and the Patriots. I will watch any of their games whenever I can. I will then forget the games and what happened, but I've enjoyably passed a couple of hours rooting for the good guys.
ESPN wastes time talking about other teams and other sports. I don't even want to see them talking about my teams, because it's just talk. Either the good guys win or they don't. Spending five hours before the big game talking about what's going to happen does not influence the outcome.
Alas, being a full grown American boy I know that a lot of male culture revolves around spouting stats and opinions at each other. "Henderson sucks, he's only getting 12 wickets per hundred yards", "How can you call Manafort a goalie when he can't sink a free throw under pressure?".
It used to be just annoying, now with the rise of fantasy teams it's the currency of male conversation. I blame the millenials.

If I just want to pay for ESPN, I can't. Or Food Network. Or many other bundle-only channels.
And the streaming model is actually adopting bundling. It's Cable being delivered via internet instead of coax.
The early moves were toward ala carte, until content providers saw where the winds were blowing and nixed it.
I've been living it for four years now. I had hopes for the TV app on AppleTV, but all it did was regress back into the bundling mentality.

Gaelic has a round ball. You have to dribble it every third step, so you can't just carry and bull your way forward like in rugby. You can't tackle, but you can "impede" so it's more physical than soccer. You can hand pass, or turn a kick into a pass.
There's a soccer-like goal with uprights, and a goalie. If you beat the goalie into the net, it's three points; over the goalie between the uprights and it's one. This spreads the defense. If you collapse on the goal like in soccer, you give up easy chip shots.
There's no offside rule, which is the bane of soccer. You don't need it because the game moves so fast.

ESPN is very much limited by contracts. Using that as an example is terrible evidence. Their pressure on cable companies is one of the biggest reasons that bundling exists at all.
They can't move into the streaming space like HBO because their contracts with the cable companies forbid them from doing it.
Every channel that's free of these contracts is building their own app, which they charge more per month for than they do with the cable companies, and selling them directly to the consumer.
CBS All Access is a good example. $6 per month compared with free, but you have all of CBS's backlog.
Showtime charges $15 a month for it's own service directly to the consumer, but less than that to the cable company.
It's happening.

The delivery method is changing (coaxial cable/satellite vs internet) but the same sort of bundling is happening. DirectTV has a streaming service, but it's still bundled like their satellite packages are.

Some of the delivery methods are trying to coopt the consumer choice, but the individual channels will continue to get out of those limiting contracts and sell directly to the consumers.
So, DirectTV is selling packages?
CBS, Showtime, HBO, hell, even some of the sports leagues like MLB and NBA sell their own packages.
I can get all the baseball I want through MLB.tv, never turn on ESPN, and MLB knows it. That's why I can view the games on any device through their direct service.

I think you have O.J. Simpson confused with Billy Dee Williams regarding malt liquor endorsements. And no, O.J. Simpson never really wrapped himself up in the "ghetto" culture and endorsements. He started screaming racism when he was arrested and tried for Nicole Simpson's and Ron Goldman's murders.
By the way, ESPN is not just catering to the black grievance industry (you can thank Obama for that) but also to the vagina mafia. And please do not forget about its attempted foray into LGBTQ politics when it broadcasted Michael Sam kissing his boyfriend over and over again on draft day.

Pick a local sports team (community college, high school, D2 college or whatever happens to be close by) and actually go watch them play ball (or puck) in person.
You will find that watching even low level sports in person in your community is actually far more entertaining than anything on television. The parents and family are often in the stands and you can talk to them. You actually start to get personally attached to teams in ways which pulling for a helmet sticker or jersey color won't match.
I learned this when my nephew played football at a small school in Tennessee (University of the South at Sewanee). I'd drive an hour to watch all his home games and got to enjoying it so much that even after he graduated I kept going to the games.
Last year I watched 5 terrible games in person there and loved every minute of it. I did not, however even watch a minute of the Super Bowl.

Nope, the main channel. The Professional Bowlers Association offers their own subscription channel called XTra Frame for about nine bucks a month, I think, and you can stream all the bowling you could possibly want to watch there, including the qualifying and match play rounds.

I thought, here's a guy who spent his post-athletic life hobnobbing with almost entirely White well-to-do, and IIRC, would have been a conservative political animal if he was ever one at all. Why the Racial Grievance Industry rallied to him still sadly puzzles me.

But that paradigm doesn't work in all markets or for everyone's interests.
I don't want MTV, my cable company makes me buy MTV service.
It's not really different than if you want a Windows operating system for your computer, Microsoft make you subscribe to other products like Microsoft Office. That would be illegal under current laws.
I can always make the choice of zero cable tv, but a law saying cable companies have to give options to consumers is pretty tame as far as regulations go and would shut down their propaganda network.
Don't know why this is an issue you feel so strongly about, it's not like cable tv doesn't already have thousands of pages of regulations.

I was going to do that. The local AA baseball team has moved to Hartford and got its own stadium (Dunkin' Donuts Park! Yay New England) and a new name, the Yard Goats, which is cool.
I decided to get in on the ground floor and become a Yard Goats fan. I could get a Yard Goats jersey and go to the games and enjoy the simple pleasures of the American pastime.
Yeah, well, you know what the cheapest ticket is to a Yard Goats game? $24! $58 for the good seats.
This is Double A ball in Hartford, which is a crappy crappy town. You can get bleacher seats in Fenway for $10 for off games. Fenway is in a real city, and the Red Sox are a real baseball team that wins occasional World Series.
My romance with the Hartford Yard Goats was vanishingly brief.

We had the ability to take him off of life support and hold him and talk to him until he passed. I will always be grateful for that opportunity even through my tears.
A friend of mine also lost a 13 year old daughter to suicide. She is also strong and active in her church. Truly amazing as the death of a child in that manner has got to be even more gut wrenching. She and others that are going through this comfort me. Thank you Jane.

And CBS is an interesting case - they refuse to be bundled, so if you want to stream and you have an existing cable tv subscription, you're actually paying for it twice.
Fact is, Maritime has it exactly correct. The business model is simply transferring to the internet from physical cable. If I want a particular channel streamed, more and more it will require a cable tv subscription. A tour of the TV apps in the Apple App Store makes that pretty clear.
