While firing 100 sports-related employees, ESPN runs 'Five poets on the new feminism'

On Monday, ESPN announced it would be firing a gaggle of writers, on-air talent, and radio personalities. As subscribers and ratings decline, the former sports network has been forced (repeatedly) to trim its stable of on-air talent, writers, and radio personalities. Initially they claimed 40-50 jobs would get the axe. Yesterday, we learned ESPN's employee bloodbath would involve over 100 people. Since they've announced no plans to alter their programming - other than to implement some kind of streaming service - we can only conclude that this is a temporary solution. Without major reconfiguration, they'll probably need to do this again in a few years.
