I have written about this before. Sports outlets in general and ESPN in particular have overtly become SJW and PC. ESPN has aggressively promoted a far-left agenda and has seemingly been taken over by BLM. No surprise, but its business is tanking. What is particularly worth perusing in the linked article is the research correlating sports fandom to political affiliation and engagement. Not surprisingly, a majority of sports fans skew conservative. The exceptions being tennis, soccer, and the NBA. Oh, and both WNBA viewers.
