Is this jimmy kimmel related? Or just general big money corporations suck?

I was just being silly in my reply… of course it’s Kimmel related.

I’m with ya @approxinfinity
I am growing weary of all this Trump-related censorship.
If you’re curious, Disney owns these assets:
ABC, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, Hulu, ESPN, FOX, FUBO, and of course all the theme parks.

This is very unlike me, but I just cancelled Disney owned ESPN+ and sent them a note about the freedoms of democracy.
I’ll share one sports-themed sentence in my note, then I’ll shut up:
Next thing you know Dick Vitale will be “pre-empted” for supporting any university during a broadcast that Trump has sued.

@rockchalkjayhawk I’m probably ignorant, so please don’t feel like you have to tell me so. But, if Disney owns all the companies that you listed earlier (and probably more) does that mean you’re just not watching sports anymore? It’s like my son not using Amazon because he doesn’t like Jeff Bezos - it seems like a whole lot of cutting off your nose to spite your face. I don’t agree with paying $3.00 per gallon for gas, but I’m not going to walk or ride a bike to prove it.
I’m not belittling your choice, I just don’t understand the mindset.

It is of course Kimmel related. I dont watch Kimmel. But i watched the clip that got him canceled, and pulling him from the air over this so drastically crosses a dangerous line.
I also dont want to pay for their shit and have been sick of ESPNs agenda for years. And theyve destroyed the Star Wars franchise.
In other news, if you guys want to watch Alien Earth but dont want to get the Disney Hulu package, you can watch it on Youtube TV. If you like the Alien franchise, it has been excellent.

My dad boycotted the NFL for the Kapernick stuff. He didn’t watch football for that full season at least, maybe part of the next. It isn’t to say that my dad and I have a poor relationship, we just don’t have a lot of common interests. But one of them IS the Chiefs! 6 months of losing out on one of the few things we had that we could chat about and bond over, to me, was really dumb.
Just one perspective on the whole thing. I’ll be tuning in to all the KU games.

Yeah im just going to boycott the a la carte stuff. Will still watch things on my cable package.
