ESPN Loses 621,000 Subscribers; Worst Month in Company History
Cord cutting is a big part of this, but there is a cultural aspect in play as well:ESPN has been increasingly pushing a progressive narrative on its viewers, many, perhaps most, of whom are conservatives.  The NFL is seeing the same thing, with big declines in viewership since the national anthem protests began.I see a lot of newly developed/developing antipathy towards professional sports among my right-wing acquaintances.  What's funny is that the reasoning is often very similar to what my left-wing acquaintances had to say back when I was at Berkeley.As with the libertarian -> alt-right shift of the last five years, I think it is one of the more interesting sociological developments I am aware of, and largely unremarked upon by the press.
