Wow, Disney ain’t playing around!

Let's be honest (and I think Iger is doing that right now), the game is the star, not the sideline personalities. Can they enhance (or take away from) the game experience? I think so. But at the end of the day, people are going to watch the games they want based on the matchups, not whose voice they hear during the broadcast.

While I agree someone is probably not going to tune in and watch a game solely because of the broadcasters. However, bad broadcasting can ruin an otherwise intriguing game. When ESPN had Booger McFarland on Monday Night Football, I literally never watched the broadcast. He was just so bad I couldn't enjoy the game, no matter how good the game itself might have been.

Disney has lost an estimated $890 million on their last 8 movies.

They're gonna have to do a lot more than fire David Pollack to recoup those losses.

Movies is the least of their problems.

Disney has a culture problem that doesn’t side with its base. I have young children. I’m trying all that I can to convince my wife they will live with not seeing Disney.

Our household of three kids runs pretty nicely with Disney +. Lots of great shows and movies and I’ve never seen anything close to objectionable (even if looked through an ultra-conservative lens).

And then I get my fill of Star Wars and Marvel related content.

It is true that they don’t preach hating gay people, so for some that’s enough to never turn it on, but you should check it out and see if your wife is into it. I think you’d find the hype is all fluff.

Good luck! I've been trying for a couple of years to get my wife to stop funding Disney's social agenda and I think its finally started to take hold.

Maybe their problem is a movie.

They ****** around and found out.
