    ESPN has gone downhill
    High school football on a Saturday afternoon! Really? Just unplug yourselves for that worthless programming that nobody watches!

        if I didn't gamble I wouldn't watch it at all. Only a couple years ago they started putting the betting lines on their website game schedules. They must know we're the only ones keeping them going.

          They need a major shakeup in programming

          They would if it were my network

                  ESPN is becoming garbage I agree.. Their shows blow.. ESPN is still good for a televised game every now and then and that's about it, that is if you can stomach the chick announcers calling most of the games now....

                  Waiting to see what their NFL pre game football shows are like this year? I give em chance with that maybe...

                    I just think a lot more can be done with their programming

                    Even the PBA can get good ratings plus people can gamble on it for a Saturday afternoon

                    Granted college football is coming but they need to do better than this

                        They could if they'd hire on reputable sports people and not idiot ghetto blacks that think they know sports. Not be so race sensitive in other words...

                        ESPN went down hill when they stopped hiring the best people for the job over random colored people/athletes that don't know shiiit... Just my opinion and not trying to be racist..

                            The second they went full retard and became all out liberal was also the exact time they became irrelevant.

                              They need to give another Courage Award to a homo that likes to play dress-up in women's clothes. That will increase ratings.

                                  The MANY female broadcasters and show hosts ESPN loves to hire on now are way over done.. Nobody wants to watch a man sport and hear a woman announcing it.. They went terribly wrong doing that..

                                  ESPN Gender sensitivity is a big problem.....

                                                You do realize with NCAAF actually kicking off tonight
                                                High School football , with 4 powerhouse schools will get a better rating than a Rerun of the 2018 Drunk Ass Corn Hole Championship of the World , right ?
                                                Hoover , Hewitt, Cedar Grove , they probably got good ratings in the South.
                                                Elsewhere, not so much but again , it was that or the DACHC

                                                  Most of the nation could care less about watching high school football on a national network

                                                  Leave that to local and regional networks

                                                  Those ratings have to be horrible
                                                  maybe the ratings arnt horrible, theyve been doing it forever so Id think if they were horrible they wouldnt keep doing it. gives recognition to places people would never know about otherwise and gives the kids something theyll never forget. if you were in high school youd have been pumped.

                                                      I'd be amazed if over 300 people were watching

                                                      They could do better with the ad money like PBA which people do wager on and something that's proven to get good ratings

                                                      I'm just throwing that out there but anything that people will watch and high school football isn't one of them unless it's relatives or people from the two schools playing. For local and regional networks it's fine but not for national networks. IMO

                                                        300 people cmon bro, plenty of people will watch just to be watching football of some sort, but espn usually will show players and/or teams that are pretty highly rated. once they show ratings of players on the screen that alone causes people to not change the channel and want to see how good the player is they are talking about. I remember tebow coming to a play hoover in high school, never heard of him before then, I think they lost but he put in a heroic comeback try that game if I remember correctly.

                                                          ESPN in the late 90's and early 2000's was awesome. Sports now just sux in general, nothing worth watching anyone except for gambling purpose. Boxing, UFC, you name it, all terrible.

                                                            At least high school football is actually a sport. I could never figure out WTF a Spelling Bee was doing on that network.

                                                                    The new generations of kids are silver spooned and never had to work or fight for anything in life.

                                                                    It's like this - You never will really appreciate your health in life until you begin to lose it.. Example - Can be strong and healthy one day and hit with cancer and dying the next day or experience some deadly disease or accident.. You will wake up and appreciate what you had.. That will change your world and outlook on life asap if you survive it..

                                                                    If you don't have struggles you will never grow in life...
