Boycott ESPN

[barney]

The networks talked down about Tennessee all year long, denigrated the fans and school at every turn, showed bias towards bama in the playoffs and now these a** clowns denied hooker the invitation to NY that he earned.

So I've decided that I am simply going to turn the tv off and listen to Bob during the games. It can't be worse than Gary Danielson.

Brother, I understand your frustration…but at the end of the day they are owned by Disney and wouldn’t go broke even if our entire fanbase boycotted them. It is what it is, the best thing that we can do is win games to piss them off.

 

[UneducatedGuess]

You show em Barney!!

 

[VolFanInHawaii]

huh, you still paid attention to those guys? that one might be on you, man.

 

[AdoptedVOL]

Already do. Hate the whole family.

 

[WesternNCVol]

They actually got on the Tennessee bandwagon until Georgia. But their history and their recent stuff is not pro Tennessee.

We must remember they are paid to entertain and despite having a background in football, most are just mouth pieces for an agenda. Most anything on tv has some agenda.

Nip it in the bud

 

[FBtime]

We were promoted all year. Game day was at three of our games two of which were home games and epic wins. So just don’t watch the Vols on TV to make a point? No thanks.

You know the Orange Bowl game is on ESPN……..right?

 

[fossilfiction]

Other than some picking games against Tennesssee, ESPN and most sports media outlets were complimentary from Florida until USC.

To add to that, pretty lame boycott when you plan to watch the game. That's not what boycotting means.

 

[Hopeful Vol]

Good luck with that.

I only watch live NCAAF and NCAAM on any of their networks. So, I rarely watch any of their channels.

But I am not missing watching the Vols.

 

[Volbrando]

Yeah let’s not do this. They liked us until they didn’t. Gameday’s etc. we have to earn it more the others that have been at the top for awhile. We got this

Radio, pirate channel, or full replay on YT, and you don't have to fund companies of the leftist, deviant Disney.

Win-Win!

I honestly think that if “everyone loved UT,” VN would be so pissed. Vols fans love to be hated by everyone.

Vanderbilt is the only fan base that hates UT more than any school. They don’t count like the others, but us Vols fans embrace being disliked by everyone. We b!+ch about it, but deep down love it!

 

[JCamp]

I felt like they kept giving us Gameday hoping we would lose and they could talk crap about us.

Maybe my kids became protected against the Disney queer mega blaster when they got their COVID vaccines.

Well, hopefully it protects against something.

It's all about money and clicks. They benefit nothing by running with the Hooker storyline. They did earlier in the year. But now that Hooker is injured it does them no good. Same thing for Blake Corum. Now they want to push the storyline for the playoff teams and their QBs.

^^ main course drama queen with a little side of victim card.

 

[SouthpawTN]

Most sensitive baby fan base in the country.

Which channels you watching/listening to that aren’t?

 

[JBVolunteer]

Honestly, it’s an arbitrary award that carries no value at all. Not at all worth getting upset about.

Disney has been hurt quite a bit by Covid and the economy. They’re struggling more than some are aware. Quite a leadership shakeup there lately.

Espn came to Knoxville twice in one season and then showed up in Athens. They talked about how great our offense was every chance they could and then we got dominated twice. That's not the fault of ESPN that's on the team. I have to disagree with op on this one
