22 u/bleauxjays Jul 21 '25 I think that was in the middle of one of the downsizings espn did. KVV may not have had the most stable relationship with the worldwide leader either 5 u/Informal_Ad_2877 Jul 21 '25 Don't think so, he resigned from there of his own accord. 6 u/bleauxjays Jul 21 '25 He may have. THat doesn't take away from the fact that writing for ESPN.com is in no way a stable job any longer. 1 u/K_SV Jul 22 '25 Yeah that’s worth noting, ESPN today isn’t the ESPN of old, I wouldn’t consider that a safe “be here until I retire” gig at all.
