~~ BREAKING, DRUDGE SIREN ~~ It is reported that @notthefakeSVP & other hosts have begun eating the corpses of ESPN interns to survive the Sports Drought... #Covid19

.@notthefakeSVP: the #ESPN "Our Soccer" ad tries to make the mostly non-black but color-blind #MLS palatable for blacks The #NFL Hank Williams Jr ad has mostly whites, trying to present a sport that has many players hostile to whites palatable to whites.

This is a fun thread. We all have memories/moments when we came up against the person that made us understand that… https://t.co/ESV85ZP9mF

.@notthefakeSVP: Messi & Ronaldo are on a different level, how many times has ESPN shown them & hyped it? Would ESPN put a LeBron game on at 6am or would they arrange a later time & hype it? Yet, Ronaldo is 100x times more famous than LeBron.

.@notthefakeSVP: Jimmy Wichard Corp execs - aka Disney execs - think as soon as leaves begin to fall every sports fan who doesn't care about kneeball or endless basket suddenly changes their minds. They can't conceive of soccer/baseball fans still wanting to see those sports.

.@notthefakeSVP: ESPN/Disney execs are special in many ways & one of the key ones is *constantly* playing one single sport in its designated season. How about offering those who don't like those sports an alternative? Show #soccer in fall/winter + winter leagues. Give us choice.

.@notthefakesvp: what were ESPN's ratings on Sunday at 9am? https://twitter.com/FOXSportsPR/status/1140648160920051712

.@notthefakesvp: 2014 World Cup final: 17.3 million U.S. viewers 2018 World Cup final (earlier start, "where's Croatia?", etc): 11.8 million U.S. viewers 2019 NBA finals #Game4: 12.79 million U.S. viewers If #soccer is a 2nd tier sport as the rabid Mouse thinks, so is NBA.

.@notthefakesvp: I get it: #ESPN suits have OCD over basket. They think everyone agrees, even tho interest peaked 19 years ago & now hovers around 10%. There are actual sports ESPN could *also* be playing like winter baseball or soccer.

.@notthefakesvp: over next month, #ESPN has 6 #soccer games. 2 @ 3am, 3 on one magical day 3 weeks hence. "Every day is basketball day" for 3 weeks followed by "This day is soccer day" for one day. Do the suits count cracks, check a door is locked exactly 10 times, etc. etc.?

.@notthefakesvp: ESPN has the rights to put the most famous athlete in the world on TV. Instead, they hide him on a channel few will pay for because ESPN won't show him on TV to build his popularity in the USA. Thinking about that makes their heads hurt so they show cornhole.
