I couldn&#x27;t agree more. And when you look at ESPN&#x27;s actual sports programming it&#x27;s mostly SportsCenter and talking heads, ie, non essential viewing to sports fans. MLB and NBA are all on local affiliates or TNT&#x2F;TBS, and NFL has one game per week on ESPN and the rest on Fox, CBS, and NBC (and NHL is somewhere not on ESPN). Basically ESPN has a nice hodgepodge of college and pro sports, but isn&#x27;t really necessary to any one fan base.
