Sounds like they need to change their name to PaulRyanair

I am sure Blizzard will change the entire story line now because of their actions. 

Spin it whatever way you want, but to say ratings don’t matter seems not true, just see every show canceled mid season ever. However if it’s cheap enough and eats some time Disney/ABC will probably take it. ESPN would rather show poker games than hockey games just because of the cost.

And then remember that the majority of TVs tuned into watching it on ESPN were at bars where the TV was already on ESPN and nobody felt like taking the effort of changing the channel even though most of the people didn’t really care about Overwatch and were hardly watching it.
