Roll Left, then Crash.

ESPN reaps the dividend of going SJW left by losing business and having to lay-off talent.

Good Read. From the linked article:

"The most immediate causes of the layoffs are clear. Over the last several years rights fees have skyrocketed, with ESPN now paying over $3.3 billion annually just to broadcast the NFL and NBA. Simultaneously, ESPN’s subscriber count and viewership—the fabled dual revenue stream that has made it the most envied television company in the country—have tumbled. While the loss of 12 million subscribers over five years is mostly due to generalized cord cutting, and not subscribers specifically dropping ESPN"

I missed the "SJW" references related to the business issues ESPN faces. Perhaps I should read more carefully?
