Almost, but no. Fox/FoxNews/Fox Sports Net were the parts that didn't get sold to Disney.

Fox news has totally different leadership to Fox tho.

The production stuff (20th century fox etc) is now Disney.

Fox isn't going to sever ties over a piss segment. If so, they can joint the "Kiss my rear end club."

The WWE's ratings have been in freefall for what? A year? They've lost some of their biggest stars and haven't been able to generate many new heels/faces that fans care about. That's a much bigger issue than one silly pee-pee spot.

Yeah. That was height of covid who gives a poo poo about anything else? poo poo like Bill Cosby was being talked about way before Hannibal Burress and Louis CK was a years long thing before his exploded. For things to get attention and momentum timing is everything.

Edit- Just to add that's why the first move in these situations by people and companies is to see if it just blows over.

lol if you think they cared more before Covid or care more about it now. But I misjudged how cynical your post was. I think we can all agree that #rapedlivesmatter is not anywhere on WWE's agenda unless public opinion forces the issue.

No poo poo. And obviously they didn't care more before Covid but it was much easier to just not address.

Part of my work is dealing with lawyers trying to get substance abuse treatment records from us for mutual clients. We have a nice collection of snippy letters from them that go something like this:

"we think our normal HIPAA form is good enough to get these records because it works for every place else, but we don't want to waste our time destroying you in court so here's your super special proprietary form, we respectfully hope you choke on it and die"

Also there is a troublingly large amount of attorneys using hotmail addresses as their main communication.

Why save to PDF when you charge an insane amount per hour, then can also get them on printing and scanning fees, plus paper fees. I mean, there are 8 labels on that page, might as well charge for 8 labels.

Being so mad about a segment that you pull it from the West Coast feed (as I believe happened with this segment) seems to indicate a breakdown in relations that is noteworthy. I don't get how you manage to agree with me (that WWE's relationship with Fox is collapsing) while trying to be a trolling idiot but cool look, I guess.
