ESPN does it because rankings give people something to bitch about and chime in.  Participation = $$$.  It also allows for idiots to have equal time with experts on the given topic.  

We (humanity) are the comments section.  We're scary.  
Very seldom do I watch the world wide leaders except for CFB.One would have a problem discerning who's the expert/idiot in any conversation involving them.Stephen A.?Skip Clueless?Mark May(to a lesser extent)?I'm convinced if Jerry Springer had a sports journalism background he'd be their highest paid "expert".Content has ceased being a marketing tool of interest/importance and splashy,impedant clickbait gets the air time

Of course, but that’s on the viewers much more than on ESPN.  The average American doesn’t know when they’re being click-baited.  They see/read something, experience outrage/exasperation, then see/read more so that they may share their reactions.  
It’s embarrassing.  I’ll keep saying it - the average person is the comments section....a frothing idiot.
