Even though Rush is not me and the situations were very different, I think, in the Rush Limbaugh thing, ESPN was criticized for not acting, and you remember that after a couple days of controversy over Rush.

I think one of the innate challenges that comes with being on ESPN is that it is a sports network. It is an entertainment space largely, and because of that – as should be the case – politics aren’t expected to be addressed in a meaningful way at a sports network.

I watch ESPN all day. If you come into my trailer, ESPN is on. That’s the first thing I do when I leave the set.

Fox does the NFL a lot like they program the rest of the network. There’s sort of a locker room sense of humor that prevails. With ESPN, it’s more like a pat-you-on-the-back kind of comedy. I mean, they’ll all get on each other a little bit, but it’s never mean-spirited.

I mean ESPN plucked me out of nowhere and I’m forever grateful for the opportunity. I don’t love the way it ended. But I’m not a grudge-holder.

I got fired – November 8, 1979. And all of a sudden, I got a call, two weeks later, about doing a game on ESPN.

I know nothing about it, never heard of it.’

I have tremendous brand experience. What I do a lot for Disney is manage the great brands of this company, whether it’s Disney, ESPN, ABC, Pixar, Marvel, ‘Star Wars.’ And I’m very engaged in technology and its impact on the consumer, either what experience you deliver for them or how to market and sell to them.

If you’re a sports fan and you’re home and you’re washing dishes, usually your TV is on ESPN and you’re just getting the highlights and keeping up-to-date with all of the sports going around, all of the news.

For 10 years while I was at ESPN, I lived at the Residence Inn in Southington, Connecticut, near Bristol. I did that because my wife had a great job in New York City, and we had a place in New York City, at 54th and 8th. On Friday, I would come back, and then on Sunday evening I would go back to the Residence Inn.

ESPN truly is a game changer and has the ability to unite the world through sports, which is something I’m incredibly passionate about.
61
But the rising chorus urging ESPN to change its stripes is missing something: The intersection of sports and politics is natural. And the left-wing lean of ESPN is inevitable. Conservatives bothered by the slant should stop hand-wringing and start their own network.

The days of the heavyweight champion as civil rights leader are long gone. You think you’d see Ali rolling around on the floor of an ESPN Zone? I don’t think so.

My background in promoting martial arts started in 1985 when we were doing PK Karate, which was on ESPN. Fast forward to when mixed martial arts became legal in California. I made the jump to MMA and never looked back.

ESPN has so many characters, it’s like ‘The Simpsons.’

I watch ESPN all day long.

ESPN has this problem with sports, it’s impossible to fill 24 hours with sports programming so they have to resort to things like poker and arm wrestling tournaments.
