Disney owns ESPN, which is enough reason to cancel alone.
Plus, they've been on their own left-wing trajectory for some time now. We watch sports to escape from babbling idiots who preach their PC nonsense at us, which ESPN is slowly learning the hard way.
Over the years they've beat up the cable companies by charging something in the neighborhood of $7 per viewer for their package, which is a big chunk of your cable bill. When both consumers and the cable companies feel they are being gouged something eventually has to give.
Top talent such as Tom Jackson have supposedly been pressured recently to take demotions and/or renegotiate their contracts. In Jackson's case, he just quit. Many people, such as myself, only watched the NFL pregame and wrap up because of Tom Jackson - he was the best. Despite being told by the PC Police that I'm a racist and should be shot on site, I always suffered through the other analyst's gibberish just to wait for Tom Jackson's turn to speak. He is greatly missed, I hope he reappears on another network.
Monday Night Football is unwatchable. Besides giving us the King Of All Dingleberries, Jon Gruden, the games themselves stink. The NFL doles out the schedule and used to ensure MNF always had primo matchups. Not any more. The NFL has punished ESPN by scheduling the Browns vs the Bears low interest type games. And despite the double whammy of stinkers for games and the unbearable Gruden, rumor has it Gruden has the largest salary at ESPN by a long shot. Monday Night Football has become a black hole of a cash drain.
When Carlos Slim buys Disney they can mix half hour specials on the wonders of Fidel Castro into their programming.
