As massive supporters and long-term viewers of ESPN's "Around the Horn" show, we are devastated to hear about the proposed cancellation of the program. The show has been a significant part of our lives and an essential component in the sports community for many years. Our beloved host, Tony Reali, known to us as the Jon Stewart of ESPN, has mastered the craft of engaging sports discourse, making the show a critical platform for quality sports analysis and entertainment.

Contrary to the reasons given for its dismissal, it's worth noting that the show still pulls in impressive ratings. Being a staple in ESPN's lineup for years, this show has not only maintained its robust viewer base but also remained relevant in the dynamic sports discourse landscape. As a testament to this, Nielson ratings show that it consistently ranks among the most-watched, non-live telecast events on ESPN (source: ESPN’s viewership ratings report). Thus, making the decision to end "Around the Horn" puzzling to many devoted fans.

We implore the network to rethink this decision. Let us not let an invaluable sports program be pulled from us for unjustifiable reasons. The show has contributed much to ESPN and sports fans around the world; it's only fair that it gets the chance to continue doing so.

Stand with us in voicing our support for Tony Reali and the continual broadcast of "Around the Horn." We want ESPN to acknowledge our petition, review their decision, and keep the show that has connected, educated, and entertained us for so many years on air. Please, sign this petition today.
