Not shocking at all . The main personalities are the problem but they will not be the ones to loose their job. Besides ball games I can't stand to watch any of their shows
I never understand why people get so worked up about shows. It's easy to not watch the shows you don't like. I don't really care about the politics or personal views. If a show is good, then I'll probably watch it assuming I have time. If a show isn't entertaining, then I'll skip it without being upset.
The live sports is really what matters to me anyhow.
ESPN got themselves in trouble with huge live sports contracts and the cord cutting. Jamele Hill isn't going to be the reason ESPN tanks or rebounds. They need to be smarter with their contracts and better with online subscriptions as the market place is changing and evolving.

You are half right. ESPN has realized that they have a failing business model with their live sports contracts and cord cutting. But the route they chose to generate more revenue is to go all in on politics in sports and that was a poor decision and instead of generating revenue it is losing money.
