Quote:Its not an agenda, its basic freaking business. Agenda says they all sit around twisting their mustaches in an evil way, plotting the downfall of the team.

 

ESPN covers the all 50 states and wants to appeal to as many of the good ol' fat, beer drinkin', fair weather, couch potato sports fans in America and the world beyond as possible. The Jaguars are a bad team, from a relatively small town, with no star players and who appeal to a relatively small number of people so the coverage of the team reflects that. Why the heck would ESPN or any national media service cover us over Jonny Manzeil, Michael Sam, or the Dallas Cowboys when they all appeal to a much bigger number of people?

 

I agree with all of the above, it's a business, it's about ratings and ultimately revenue, networks like ESPN and the NFL Network will always cater towards the casual fan and large fan bases, there's a lot more casual fans than hardcore knowledgeable fans, it's just the way it is. I don't see it as a slight, ESPN/NFL Network etc.. aren't plotting against the Jaguars, to think so is incredibly ignorant, we're a small market without much national interest at this time. I'm a huge Milwaukee Brewer fan; it's the same for that organization as well, if one craves attention that bad, they should become a Jets fan.
