1. ESPN GET FUCKED

2. LOL

3. Lmaooooo.

   edit: I desperately want to see what the conversation is backstage. I hope this is the death of sports gambling ads and sports gambling in general.

4. ESPN can fuck off 😂

5. https://tenor.com/yruy.gif

6. Shameless, but genuinely hilarious

7. “Wait what he’s talking about? Oh get rid of the logo. Move dumbass get that logo!”

8. Tim Robinson Hot Dog Meme

9. Fuck Sports Gambling. Fuck DraftKings and FanDuel, Fuck ESPN.

10. Oligarchy wealth matters more than anything. Gambling in sports won’t be going anywhere.

11. LMFAOO

    fuck espn

12. ESPN is terrible. Fuck sports betting and fuck all their ads and stupid slogans

13. > slowly

    nah that was an “oh shit!” reaction if i’ve ever seen one lol

14. That felt so sudden and not just a reset of the ticker

    Like “oh fuck, oh fuck, Dave, take that shit off while Greeny is trying to be poignant” 

15. Lmao irl homer shrinking back into the bushes meme with that graphic

16. That’s so fucking funny

17. Fucking sketch over here.
    Also fuck gambling.

18. I don’t know about slowly there, looked sudden to me once Greenberg mentioned their network and production scrambling to get the ticker off air.

    Side note: we gotta have a drinking game for every sports betting commercial or plug aired tonight including Inside the NBA. We’re about to get hammered folks.

19. Doing it in real time, not even during an ad break is funny as hell

20. As somebody who doesn’t watch these shows I’m more surprised by seeing a desk of 6 people lol. How do you run a talk show like that? Especially when I assume Greenburg sucks up all the time/air with his blah blah blahing.

21. How many more people are they gonna fit in that fucking desk lmao

22. Lol they didn’t even have a graphic prepared without ESPN Bet on it so they pulled the whole thing

23. “It might be in the back of people’s minds”

    Motherfucker, it is front and center.

24. lol, very subtle

25. soap opera

26. ESPN BET head of marketing sending the most hilarious email to the broadcast team rn

27. Who could have ever foreseen such an event transpiring?

28. LOOOOL

29. Lmao it’s so baked into their product they had to delete the entire ticker

30. That was the TV ticker equivalent of Homer backing through the hedges.

31. Who the fuck are they fooling lmao

32. Remove all of fan duel too.

33. Who could have ever seen this problem coming?!?

34. Maybe a “fine line” is part of the problem. You want a hefty line, one where it is actually not easy to drift across

35. You should have seen what they did to their app after they invested in sports betting. They removed stats, averages, records, all types of sports information across nfl, mlb, and nba from their app to essentially hinder people. Less information on said game or teams hinders the bettor. espn had all types of information before they invested in sports gambling that conveniently disappeared.

36. We need to start making a list of all these athletes who are constantly in these sports ads, immediately think way less of you right when I see it. You’re telling me LeBron worth around a billion dollars needs to promote sports gambling to teenagers for some extra cash? People would rather earn a extra buck at the expense of people going down a long dark gambling hole

37. LOL

    “Why are we running Chewy ads during the Michael Vick interview?! Who runs this place?”

38. I’m ready to admit that the teetotalers were right about gambling. Need to make it illegal or at the very least make online betting illegal

39. GET BETTING OUT OF SPORTS!! NO MORE SPONSORSHIPS
