This says it all for ESPN... this is the lead story on their homepage. Jesus they've fallen far... whoever is running the ship over there needs to be shit-canned.

Not to send this to polyass, but good lord this is stupid.

**Garth Bimble** · 08-22-2017, 08:34 PM

Not to mention that the Robert Lee in question is an Asian guy.

**BmillsSkier** · 08-22-2017, 08:49 PM

Talk about pandering to the truly stupid.

I thought it was an Onion article, but sadly real.

**SkiCougar** · 08-22-2017, 09:02 PM

so do sports broadcasters named Jefferson davis or thoma Jackson(stonewall) meed to change their names ?

idiocy.

**BmillsSkier** · 08-23-2017, 06:02 AM

They were talking about this on the national news outlets this morning (TGR broke it first!) and they all said, "this has to be an Onion article" like we all did. ESPN was getting hammered and when asked for comment they doubled down on stupid with some bullshit answer that in no way addressed their thought process.

Just call him Bobby.

**From_the_NEK** · 08-23-2017, 08:10 AM

But ESPN already has a "Bob" Lee(y). It would be too confusing!

A well-known ESPN host was arrested in Jackson early Wednesday morning. Ryen Russillo, 42, host of "The Ryen Russillo Show" on ESPN Radio, is in the Teton County Jail on a criminal trespassing charge.

According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by the Jackson Hole News&Guide this afternoon, Ryen Russillo was found naked in a stranger’s condo around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday.

“Officers found the defendant, later identified as Ryen August Russillo, lying on the bed in the south bedroom naked except for his pants around his ankles,” the probable cause affidavit states.

A condo resident told police he heard someone come in and assumed it was a family member but a few moments later Russillo walked in the bedroom with his pants half down.

"I'm here for the gang bang"

**smmokan** · 08-31-2017, 09:48 AM

Yet another reason ESPN (.com) sucks.... auto-play video ads that you can't pause or mute.

Hey ESPN, go fuck yourself.

**cinnepa** · 09-13-2017, 04:38 AM

hmmmmm, true?? So @espn suspended Linda Cohn for saying ESPN was talking too much politics. Didn't suspend Jemele Hill for saying Trump was a racist.

**BmillsSkier** · 09-13-2017, 06:17 AM

We're going to wake up one day and Stephen A. will be running the station.

i could be wrong but i don't see these two as the same and i doubt a typical employer would be able to:

tweeting from your personal account your opinion about an orange killer clown

and

going on a radio show and talking about why your employer is failing.

Longtime ESPN anchor Linda Cohn believes the network’s embrace of political issues is at least partially to blame for falling subscription rates.
“That is definitely a percentage of it,” Cohn said, when asked Thursday on New York radio show “Bernie and Sid” if viewers were tuning out because of politics, according to the New York Post. “I don’t know how big a percentage, but if anyone wants to ignore that fact, they’re blind.”
ESPN has lost 10 million subscribers over the past five years as “cord-cutting” allows viewers to cancel their cable subscriptions in favor of online streaming services. At the same time, ESPN’s programming costs have been steadily rising.
