I sent ESPN a message about helping Puerto Rico.
ESPN and MLB are intertwined in many ways. They broadcast games and have reporters that work exclusively on baseball.
Many of the players are Puerto Rican. They have been trying to help.
ESPN also owns a Spanish-language cable channel called ESPN Desportes.
I suggested that ESPN team up with MLB to help PR. Those groups both have a huge reach. They could use some of their Hispanic talent to get it moving.
It would be a win-win. ESPN would get a ton of good pr and help themselves in many ways. PR would get more desperately needed help.
This is not out of the realm of possibility. They have been a huge success in raising money for cancer research in memory of Jim Valvano. This was a once in a lifetime storm and a once in a lifetime chance to rebuild an entire area. It could be framed so that they are not expected to step in for every disaster. This is a unique situation.
If you go to their website, they have an email form to fill out. I have sent them messages before and they do read them.
Yes, it’s a longshot but what can it hurt if they got a lot of push to do this.
