Village Idiot John Skipper Gets 3 Year Extension at ESPN (BONUS - Worst Piece of Content Ever Produced By ESPN Ever)

The Big Lead – John Skipper has agreed to a contract extension with Disney to remain president of ESPN through 2021, The Big Lead has learned from a person with knowledge of the news. Unauthorized to speak publicly on the matter, the person requested anonymity. An ESPN spokesperson declined to comment. Skipper has been ESPN’s president since New Year’s Day of 2012, and been with the company since 1997 when he started at ESPN the Magazine as VP and general manager. In 2015, Skipper signed a contract extension through 2018. ESPN had one round of about 300 behind-the-scenes layoffs in 2015, a round of about 100 front-facing layoffs earlier this year, and reportedly has another round of about 100 employee layoffs coming before the end of 2017.

Yikes. Who deserves a raise less? John Skipper or Roger Goodell? I swear these two are becoming the same people. Incompetent buffoons running their companies into the ground and getting rewarded with huge extensions. Bananaland stuff. And how about the timing on this? It is widely being reported that ESPN is about to layoff over 100 employees right before the holidays. Seems like you could wait to announce that you are paying John Skipper millions when people are worried about how to put food on their table for Thanksgiving. Seriously talk about having your own head up your ass huh?

PS – Did people see ESPN’s new snapchat show? It was honestly so horrific that I got warm and fuzzy feelings watching it. It made me so fucking happy. This is precisely why ESPN needed BVT and Barstool Sports. Cause they have ZERO clue how to speak to our audience. Seriously somebody at ESPN watched this and thought it was funny. Think about that for a second. Like I don’t want to be mean to that kid but he should honestly kill himself and so should whoever green lit this. That’s how bad it was.
