Quote:You do understand what agenda actually means, don't you?

 

It's often used around here to refer to some kind of sinister intention of a poster, but it isn't inherently negative.

All of that now said, it's clear that the agenda for ESPN is to talk about the big markets and the popular heritage teams as much as possible and to ignore and denigrate the smaller markets when ignoring them isn't an option.

 

I don't really care about the media because the Jaguars can be good anyway, but I can just see the headline now if the Jaguars ever do win a Superbowl: "The Jaguars, worst Superbowl team ever?" where "How do the Jaguars rank among Superbowl winners" would work fine.

'A clear agenda' as you put it suggests a group of executives at ESPN got together and one said 'You know what I think would be fun? Never talking about the Jacksonville Jaguars in a positive way. All in favor say aye'.

 

If by agenda you mean the executives at ESPN want to show content that gets them the most eye balls and therefore the most money, sure I agree. But that's not really same thing as actively trying harm teams like the Jaguars by either willfully ignoring them or only bashing them.
