Be nice if the owners took 61% pay cuts or the executives at the top but I bet they got raises for the bloodbath
Listen to Keith Olbermann’s podcast every day and Keith goes into great detail how sports TV works. Keith is the best.
I miss Stuart Scott!!! He was the standard for sportscasters for over 20 years. Disney is making a big mistake for letting go the voices the public loves!!! They're not done either!!!🤔🤣💯
Well, said my friend👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯👍🏾
When I was in middle school sportscenter was a half hour long and I would watch it twice every morning before school.
I would feel insulted if I was offered a new contract but with a 61% pay cut. They would have my 2-weeks notice!
ESPN/Disney is following the hiring/employment strategies of many medical systems like Sutter and Kaiser hospitals. They cut long time/veteran physicians with newly graduated medical practitioners at half the salary. Its the same model for ESPN.
I’m 55 years old and I very much hate seeing these faces and voices leave. But we need to face facts. The sports fan base is younger. And they are not only younger, these fans are looking at ESPN far less than we did when we were younger. Fans now watch less complete games and would rather just read stats and catch the highlights. The talent on ESPN needs to be younger, hungry and most important, appealing to the younger audience, just like ESPN announcers like Stuart Scott did for us. Stuart spoke the language of the younger viewer. Let’s not pretend these ESPN faces that are now leaving, once replaced the first generation of ESPN talent. Its time for the new generation, as sad as that is.
I'm sorry to say this but it's these same reporters Stephen A Smith, skip Bayless that create a this toxic field with the shock in all type of sports show. People of turned off by that mess.
That's not an anchor.
#NeilEverett comes second to The Late #StuartScott
They want puppets.
1000%. It's amazing we have lived long enough to see the changes in sports and how we absorb our news about sports on a daily basis. Former players turned anchors are more popular than journalists turned anchors. As a person who also enjoyed the names you mentioned, just a sign of the times - we are at that age now. But typical Disney a multi-billon dollar corporation, has been that way doing this for a long time now. The parks are the heart and soul of that giant and they will not jeopardize that at all.
It’s crazy that ESPN spent the start of this century getting exclusives, and failed to be ambassadors of the sports. They have done little to grow any of the exclusive partnerships where this was always going to be the outcome. Add YT having better (or more liberated) personalities like yourself, this was inevitable.
Real phuxin talk yo! #RipStuartScott ⚓
Just hearing Stan and Neil's voice together is ESPN to me. That's really sad to hear.
Aloha 'Oe Neil Everett
Disney is behaving like a last place sports team. They're cutting salary before they sell.
True, both were wonderful anchors on ESPN, but imo, Chris Berman is a legend of ESPN that those who follow can only hope to come close to.
Talk your stuff fam.
Love your work. This is the only TYT content I'm willing to consume. I wish you leave TYT and maybe join something like Meadowlark Media, etc
if this is the only TYT content you like you need to re-think where you get your politics. lets hope its not FOX news
@@scrobag1
Based on what Ana said. I dont think he is going to be offered the same editorial autonomy.
Based on what Ana said. He has a pretty sweet gig.
@@scrobag1 I'm an actual leftist tyvm. Not whatever chzenk and Ana claim to be
Neil will be missed 😭🤙🏼
Now we sound like our father's talking about the newspaper industry 😂
Meanwhile Bob Iger made $45 million as head of Disney that owns espn in 2021 alone
I grew up before ESPN...... and I love watching sports...... but I hate watching people talk about sports....... highlights are OK...... but I don't want their opinions........we'll see plenty of Neil....... here in Portland
I'd rather watch youtubers than legacy channels at this point. Better content and it is free,
I could give you a great Baseball, Basketball and Football channel. Not so much hockey. Love to eventually find hockey content. But absolutely. They dont offer anything of value on ESPN and they expect you to pay for it.
I'd rather watch EVPN. Emma Vigelands new sports channel.
Nothing but a bunch of talking heads that like to hear themselves talk on ESPN.
Again, people like Neil Everett is gone but they keep Mark Jackson! ESPN has definitely lost it's way.
Media is changing
Cable is over. 5 to 10 years max. Only the old timers will hang on. When he says it was just time, he means the gig is up. Start streaming now or die a slow and painful death. And with AI, he won’t need writers.
You get thumbs slightly up, namely because towards the end you mentioned Keith Olbermann. Like him or not, he came into ESPN from CNN with a wealth of talent and experience. He's been the more versatile and interchangeable entity from there. Quite frankly again "whether you like him or not." There is no cable news or sports figure more prominent than him. As for where you started this discussion Neil Everett, he's gonna be alright. There's no need to cry him a river. If Rich Eisen, Dan Patrick, Keith Olbermann. Hell, even Mike Hill, Jemele Hill, and Kevin Frazier (all born and raised in Detroit, MI USA) have transitioned beyond the sports realm and are successful. Then the thing isn't dying or so tragic. Disney in their defense have to make "business decisions," sure they may be incredibly greedy and even unethical. The last thing you want any entity to do is not create new stars or keep up with current trends. So I begrudge no company doing that. As for ESPN and news. I'm sorry but don't they have ESPN News for a reason? Now all the other branches I don't get. To which I say that's ESPN and Disney's downfall. Why do I need to watch 8 ESPN brand channels when I'm barely watching one? "That's the argument and nothing else." In fairness, why do I need to watch 3 Fox News Channels? Why do I need to watch 3 NBC News Channels? That's the grift and it's starting to catch up with these "business pirates" and fortune shillers.
Josh Elliott as well.
Everyone is replaceable
They got rid of my boo Ashley Brewer
This guy’s argument is all over the map; first he’s railing against a 61% pay cut then calls the contracts bloated; he rails against the cutting of established announcers then undermines his own argument by saying “nobody’s watching cable they’re going to TikTok, CZcams and Facebook watch.” Analysis should be insightful, not simply emotional.
🤔Like all things in today's reality with no exceptions, it's survival of the fittest, adapt or fail... #ItIsWhatItIs
ESPN wants to stock all the sports shows with women who may or may not know anything about sports. Maybe they think we won't notice if they dangle eye candy in front of eyes.
Who cares...
Apparently you; so much so you had to comment and show your lack of maturity. Rube on rubie!
@@rottdog7864 and you seem to care that he doesnt care...funny
@@user-br4yc8cu8uThat he does care not doesn't care! No rubles for him! 😭
@@rottdog7864
Things arent always what they seem.
Holy crap a sports story better save this video for prosperity
ESPN is in flux, Disney talking about selling them and possibly ABC, cable sports shows are on deaths door, are any of them successful besides FT and undisputed anymore, and i don’t even like those shoes
It’s tough to get worked up for people making 7 figures losing their jobs. For years he made an average person’s salary in a month 🤷♂️
He’s got bills to pay, just like anyone else would.
@@SatansBirdLawExpert so he can dip into his extensive stock portfolio 🤷♂️
@@dallasakira I gotta be honest…I don’t know how stocks work
@@SatansBirdLawExpert lol neither do I. I just know rich people buy stock
