ESPN is what MSNBC wishes it was. A network with enough power to make or break you....or do both at their fucking whim!

See how they react to WNBA "superstar" Brittney Griner getting nabbed for domestic abuse with her partner vs ANY male athlete getting caught for the same....their stories aren't about the facts, they aren't full of details, they are hit pieces designed for clicks and views!

ESPN WILL go off half cocked
ESPN WILL not let the facts get in the way of a good story
ESPN WILL lie
ESPN WILL be biased
ESPN WILL pressure athletes until they break

Look at Josh Hamilton for example, he's a guy who has had a tough life, he's got substance abuse problems....he threw a ball to a kid's dad and he didn't throw it hard enough the dad fell trying to catch it and ended up dying. ESPN put the spotlight right on Hamilton, how must he be feeling? What should/could he have done? How will he react?


RATINGS DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE GOOD OR BAD, RATINGS DON'T CARE ABOUT PEOPLE, ESPN IS 100% ABOUT RATINGS AND THEIR OWN STATUS AS #1.

Fuck ESPN, I hate them.
