    ESPN At It Again 🤦

    When I check ESPN on mobile I'm looking for Michigan vs UCLA score.

    But what do I see atop the page instead?

    Stanford vs Louisville Women's

    Michigan-UCLA down below

    Do they sit around headquarters just thinking of ways to be the biggest kiss ass suck ups in existence?!?!

    Espn sunk when it went to politics and being all about gender neutral. It was the guys buying cars, trucks and beer that gave them their ratings.
    I can't wait until some 7', 275lb dude named Terry= Teri, plays women's hoops and wins the nat'l championship. Espn can do a week of shows on "Teri"

    Grew up thinking Sportscenter was the best thing in life...

    Now I haven’t watched more than 2 mins straight of any Sportscenter cast in the last 10 years.

    Hman, it isn't a womens game this is really two historic schools that would get destroyed by 30 at this point by a real team. It happened earlier. Zags laughing their asses off watching this pussy ass shit.

    I love women's tennis, softball, and Volleyball.

    But women's basketball is pure garbage.

    It's as exciting as watching paint dry.

    If more of their players were like Paige Bueckers it could make a small difference

    Yeah, women playing some sports is watchable. Basketball is not one of them.

    I did see some of th elite 8 for them. It’s awful. Literally no strategy or anything. Also no talent. Need all their strength for a layup.

    It’s a disgrace that it’s ever on a major network.

    Exactly. Nothing to see here. 95% of the time, if they are broadcasting a game, that is going to be the first score showing on the website. It would be dumb as hell if they didnt promote it.

    This happens all the time during NBA season on the nights when the NBA is on TNT. Have to scroll past 50 college scores before getting to the NBA stuff, cuz that what they are showing.

    Women sports are hard to watch. Period, if you are a man. You do it for your daughter, sister or wife or maybe if you have money on it.... .

    This. Why would they put a score that's on a rival, nationwide network above what they are paying to show?

    ESPN is just pandering to the crowd that that have emotional reactions to the smallest things, like whatever it is that they put on the top of their front page.

    i am tired of espn's website having their scoreboards always delayed or even revert back to an old score from like an hour ago. i now use nhl.com and nba.com for my scores nightly. planning on doing the same for mlb.com tomorrow.

    Exactly

    Has nothing to do with the networks

    When the NBA Finals, Super Bowl, or World Series is running on a different station do they put soccer scores atop the page and priority over those?
    Of course not.

    It's all about them playing to the tune of the beat (whatever bullsh!t is going on at the time)

    UConn homer checking in.
    I live right smack in the epicenter of UConn country.

    We take out hoops program very seriously.
    Be careful if you come to town with all that "women's game is trash"

    Geno is a god here and if he wanted to he could run for Governor and win in a landslide.

    This is our 13th consecutive final four now.
    Kinda makes Tom Brady and his old Pats look like dog shit.

    Oh, not for nothing the Baylor/UConn game the other night was the greatest women's college hoops game ever.

    I do hope you have enough self awareness to consider if you are one of those people who get emotional about what you see when you open ESPN on your phone.

    HMan - everything is not a political statement. Even if it was, why do you take it as a political statement? As was previously posted, ESPN should most definitely promote the games on their network.

    I just checked and would you believe that the Uconn women drew large viewers? There were also more social media posts about Uconn/Baylor than any other game, men or woman this year. I know it may seem strange to many but people are indeed tuning into women's basketball. Maybe a lot of gamblers? Our AAU coach told the players to watch the Uconn/Baylor game and take notes.

    The @UConnWBB-@IowaWBB Sweet 16 game on Saturday drew 1.559 million viewers on ABC. @BaylorWBB-@umichwbball drew 1.223 million.

    You only see what you want to see and you only hear what you want to hear. Next time when you start the thread just lead with the disclaimer....”only respond if you agree with me and if you don’t agree I won’t respond to you because I don’t want to have a discussion about it I just want to only consider my own view and throw any rational thought that actually explains what I see”
