What the fuck is wrong with normies?>NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO THEY TALKED MORE ABOUT WWE ON LITERALLY THE BIGGEST DAY OF THE YEAR INSTEAD OF NFL OFFSEASON AND MLB REGULAR SEASON SLOP>Per data compiled by Awful Announcing, ESPN’s three flagship studio programs — Get Up, First Take, and The Pat McAfee Show — spent more time discussing WWE this week than MLB and the NHL combined. In total, these shows dedicated 14 segments to WWE this week, while dedicating only 7 to MLB and 5 to the NHL.>WWE was the third-most-discussed “sport” in ESPN’s daily programming this week, behind the NBA (44 segments) and the NFL (25 segments).>And generally speaking, the WWE segments went much longer than those dedicated to MLB or the NHL. Across the three shows, WWE segments accounted for 104 minutes of programming, while MLB and NHL segments each accounted for 56 minutes. However, the MLB and NHL data come with some massive caveats.>McAfee’s program accounted for nearly 90% of all MLB and NHL content across the three shows. Yet all three shows contributed about equally to WWE coverage.>On Get Up and First Take, WWE coverage took up exponentially more real estate than both MLB and the NHL. Only one MLB segment extended for more than a couple of minutes. Each WWE segment, however, lasted longer than the longest MLB or NHL segment on those shows.>I’m not here to tell ESPN to stop promoting WWE, a property it reportedly pays $325 million per year for. I’m here to tell ESPN it doesn’t need to jam professional wrestling down the throats of viewers who, by and large, enjoy their sports unscripted. (By the way, ESPN pays $400 million per year for the NHL and $550 million per year for the MLB. The price ESPN pays for WWE isn’t a justification for the amount of time the network has spent promoting it.)
