Social Justice Warrioring is an expensive proposition.

Oh, keep your eyes open for the bit about Sports Center:

ESPN will lay off more than 100 staffers after the Thanksgiving holidays, multiple sources tell Sports Illustrated. The layoffs, which were described by a person briefed on the plans, will hit positions across ESPN including front-facing talent on the television side, producers, executives, and digital and technology staffers. The SportsCenter franchise is expected to be hit hard--including on-air people--given the frequency of the show has lessened considerably on main network ESPN.
The network declined comment to SI on Thursday afternoon.

ESPN laid off about 300 people in October 2015 and then another 100 in April of this year, and they still haven't tossed out enough crewmen to keep the sinking ship afloat.
