Why is there an ESPN Deportes?

Question

Not to be racist or anything, but I was watching Sportscenter and they went to the ESPN Deportes feed and, it was in English. Whats the point of having an ESPN Deportes spot if its gonna be broadcasted in English anyway?

Answer 1

Focus on different sports, that's all.

Answer 2

Some Spanish people watching understand English, but there's no Spanish sports channel to watch, I guess. I also think some Americans are interested in sports of other countries.

Answer 3

ESPN Deportes tends to focus on sports (futbol for example) in the Latin world.

They are very much their own news source, so sometimes they are covering a story that will be shared with the normal ESPN English-speaking market.
