ESPN will cut 100 on-air personalities today

ESPN is cutting a number of its most familiar faces as part of a larger layoff of 100 on-air personalities and writers.

ESPN didn't release a full list of those let go. But among the cuts are former NFL quarterback and analyst Trent Dilfer, prominent NFL reporter Ed Werder, senior baseball writer Jayson Stark and host Jay Crawford, all of whom shared the news about themselves on Twitter.

Most people affected by the job cuts, including television, radio and online personalities, were informed of the decision Wednesday, and many of the layoffs took effect immediately. A source told CNNMoney that ESPN also plans to cut a limited number of additional off-air employees.

ESPN is shifting its focus toward digital as it faces cable subscriber losses and increased pressure on costs. The network has spent billions of dollars in recent years on rights deals with major sports leagues and college conferences.

When your reporters are liberals and regular sports loving Americans suddenly find themselves exposed to the liberal's political opinions, well, America changes the channel. Profits decline. And, in the end, all liberals end up broke and unemployed, usually on welfare. ESPN is terrible. Who wants to watch this liberal agenda network posing as sports news. ESPN shouldn't have become a leftist propaganda channel. There is a price to pay, and they are paying it. What did you think would happen, you go liberal, you lose viewers!

The people have spoken.  We are getting this vile liberal agenda driven down our throats for years on gays, transgendered, climate change, murder of children, racism, gun control, you name it bullshit. And bullshit like giving Bruce Jenner some courage award instead of the girl college B-ball player who was dying of cancer. That pretty much summed up what this stupid network is really about. Good riddance. Hopefully the rest of the network will go down the drain before too long..This should not be a part of sports. If you want to talk about those topics, go work for CNN, where no one will watch you. Sports are games and meant to be fun and entertaining. ESPN forgot this and they will continue to lose viewers. Lies and Liberalism are a sure fire recipe for disaster.
