Today, ESPN laid off 100 employees, which included on-air talent. Since then, many media outlets have covered the major layoff, even reaching as far as 'Inside The NBA' with Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, and Ernie Johnson.

Charles Barkley gave his thoughts while on the show, saying, "A lot of people at ESPN got laid off today. And I just want to wish all the guys and girls nothing but the best...I just want to let them know, man, that I'm thinking about them." Charles Barkley made it clear that no type of rivalry is holding back his thoughts on the situation, saying, "ESPN is not our competition, we're in this thing together."

Ernie Johnson chimed in with his own thoughts, saying, "We're all in the toy department. We're all getting to work in sports, man. It's all fun and games, but when a day like this happens...we have a lot of friends up there, we wish you well." Watch above.
