ESPN is laying people off and are losing viewers because of their political stance. Ten years ago, they held a monopoly on sports in this country. Not anymore. We now have Fox Sports, NBC Sports, and other channels that broadcast sporting events. ESPN is not what it used to be. The only thing I miss about hockey on ESPN, was hearing Gary Thorne calling games and of course that awesome theme song they used to play. Agree with your point about ESPN. It's the same with the NFL and NBA. Last I heard, ratings/viewership is suffering in both leagues due in large part to the social/political ideologies being expressed by the players. Being that these are the 2 leagues whose seasons compete with the NHL the most, it's a potential "fan grab" if the NHL marketed itself correctly. These are the people the NHL should be going after, especially when you consider that the demographics of the fans turning off the NFL and NBA are similar to those who follow the NHL.
