Sports as Escapism and Audience Pushback

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock reveals why so many viewers have ESPN fatigue and why ESPN will not win the battle with its main competitor, YouTube. Whitlock lists the series of DEI personalities the network has promoted in recent years who have turned viewers off, including Stephen A. Smith, Jemele Hill, Elle Duncan, Ryan Clark, and Mina Kimes. Whitlock also offers insight into former ESPN executive Mark Shapiro’s remarks about sports betting conversation infiltrating programming. Guest Steve Kim joins the show to weigh in on ESPN’s demise and to rank the worst woke ESPN broadcasters. Paul Burkhardt and Jay Skapinac join Whitlock and Kim to discuss Antonio Brown being extradited from Dubai to the U.S. to face murder charges and how the Denver Broncos are 8-2 but remain a mediocre team. Whitlock and Burkhardt close out the show with Whitlock’s Fearless Five football picks of the week, predicting which teams will be victorious over the weekend. Another electric show today!
