I think NFL Network, MLB Network, and WWE Network are killing off ESPN more than anything. I think most sports fans want things right from the source, and those networks offer the best insiders, and the most loved past stars.

Add in the massive push for sports by NBC and Fox, and there is just a massive amount of competition for watching sports.

I think that the best thing ESPN can do is offer their content as a stand alone package on stuff like Sling and Vue. That would at least give them a chance to offer it to those that don't want a full cable package, and are happy with just Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu.

I think this plus Huge amount of advertisements are turning people off to traditional TV. People are clearly willing to pay for it hence why Hulu and Netflix and HBO Go are so popular but 30% of the content you are paying for is advertisements not to mention the cost of cable. I dont think millenials are any less interested in sports but most millenials are poor and cant afford monthly bills. Thats what it comes down to. Price and time.

 

Personally I rarely watch ESPN even being a diehard sports fan. i pay my DirecTV monthly fees and my NFL sunday ticket. But i sure wish there was a cheaper way to get my sports



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!
