It's impossible for any self-respecting male to completely block ESPN. Are you going to avoid the NFL draft? Nearly the entire college football and basketball seasons? Nearly every sport is on there at some point.

Good luck with hockey, Nascar, and E!

I use to really like listening to ESPN radio. Mike and Mike are insufferable now. NFL all the time.

As far as viewing ESPN, I only watch games and the 30 for 30 shows. Don't watch the self serving SportsCenters anymore.

I still enjoy the Scott Van Pelt Sportscenter, but otherwise I'm down to their NBA insiders (Pelton, Haberstroh, Amin, etc...) and some NFL draft stuff when I have time. And Lowe and Barnwell (rip Grantland). Matt Moore at CBS is good for the NBA, tons of alternative college basketball sites, and other sports are plenty covered elsewhere.

I don't listen to ESPN radio either. I listen to College Sports Radio and MLB Radio on XM. However, the idea of boycotting ESPN seems futile. It's like boycotting McDonalds, Wal-Mart or Apple. What's the point? Standing on principle, I guess? :confused:

Don't watch ESPN on April 15, 2016.

KEEP SENDING THIS. Let's all try this, wonderful if it helps.

I'll do it! If running low, just get your ESPN the day before on April 14 or the day after on April 16.Every little bit helps.

In April 1997, there was a "ESPN out" conducted nationwide in protest of ESPN prices. ESPN prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.

On April 15th 2016, all internet users are to not go to an ESPN station in protest of high ESPN prices. ESPN is now over $1.20 a liter/$3.87 is most places.

If all users did not go to ESPN on the 15th, it would take $2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost3 BILLION) out of the ESPN companies pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the ESPN station on April 15th and let's try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern ESPN industry for at least one day.

Only watch ESPN if UK is playing.
I usually go to twitter for news.

I am not boycotting it, but I am just too busy to watch any tv for that matter. Between work and my kids activities, I really don't have time.
