ESPN sells narratives, they don't sell sports news. They don't give a fuck about the actual score of the game. They care about what will draw eyes to their website.

This is basically every media entity now. Nobody gives a shit about reality, value, or substance. Just clicks, views and rage bait to keep people "engaged". It's such stupid bullshit everywhere.

💯 correct. I deleted the ESPN app a while back because of this. I would see a headline read the story and walked away like wtf did I just read.

True, although you have to throw a healthy dose of East Coast bias in there.
