BREAKING NEWS – Bristol, Connecticut – ESPN is planning another round of layoffs just six months after the network fired more than 100 employees, Sporting News reports. Multiple sources told the sports news site that 40 to 60 people including on-air talent and radio personalities may be sent packing. Many people believe the staff reduction is due to them taking a major drop in the ratings because they have gotten too political. Bob Iger who oversees ESPN, stated that the layoffs have nothing to do with politics, and the downsizing will be fair, nondiscriminatory, and will be done alphabetically. He said because the letter “c” comes before the letter “l”, they will be getting rid of conservatives long before liberals.
