Same. The only draw of ESPN for me was analysis and tennis grand slam events. I don't watch a lot of sports, but I love competition and statistics. Sports can give me both of those without me ever having to tune in. Replays of strategic moves (even when boring to the naked eye) is a big draw for me. ESPN has basically dumped all of that.

Interestingly enough, esports fills all of these gaps for me, but I wouldn't say that they stole me from ESPN. ESPN shot themselves in the foot ages ago. The pre-game and post-game discussions of e-sports are full of break downs and actual insight instead of hot-take talking heads. There have been incidents of analysts trolling and giving super shallow answers, but hosts have been cracking down on such behavior.

Yeah, it is just watching a handful of people play a video game, but the strategy can get ridiculously deep.
