This will not end well for Disney, there were certain historical characters removed from Sora 2 because people kept making racist videos that are hard to censor, and it became increasingly unhinged. This feels like another circular investment where Disney is hoping to make money back I'm sure. On the other hand, assuming they do the freemium stuff, I look forward to making a few videos of my daughters favorite Disney princesses "talking" to her.

Disney is not the same company it was 20 years ago.

2025 Disney encourages children to gamble and gives Pat McAfee significant visibility.

What has Pat Mcafee got to do with anything, is he somehow a controversial figure now?

I think its just that people either love him or hate him and it seems like OP is part of the latter group

I don’t have an opinion on him, despite the suggestiveness of my comment. He’s more illustrative of a spirit that Disney at a time did not have an appetite for.

Pat Mcafee catching strays (He has had his show for ~6 years) but Screamin' A Smith gets a pass?

Your bias is showing.

Stephen A Smith has done as much to harm ESPN's brand than any other figure. Please don't assume my biases from whom I failed to mention – I could have used SAS instead of Pat and my point would have been the same.

Perhaps I should have expected that the conversation would get pulled this way but it's not where I wanted it to go.

Sorry, my point was SAS has been on the network for at least what, 15 years? And he isn’t knowledgeable about anything but the NBA.

PM is probably the nicest guy on the network. I get why people hate him, but rarely does he talk shit about people.

If anything, SAS paved the way for PM.

That was why I said you’re biased. Or you just don’t know the network very well.
