Cannot watch Fornula 1

Give the full coverage of Formula 1 races without a "provider". Provide F1 qualifying coverage.

If I had kept my provider I would not need ESPN, as my provider included ESPN in their channel line-up.

Most people like me get rid of their provider to save money. What is the sense of paying the provider $200 plus a month, then pay ESPN as well?

ESPN and disney both do not work despite new phone/laptop and TV. customer service chat 1...

Customer chat service, 64 in the que, I waited. No help that resolved the issue received.

Tried 6x. They just ended the chat and I had to call the bank to dispute the charge after canceling service, as they don't give 1st month refunds despite never really having the service.

They don't have their act together on several levels. BEWARE of this app and bundle.

I found a mistake

ESPN - I found a mistake

I believe that there's a mistake in an article about the USA Men's Basketball Team against Serbia. It states that Serbia did not score any 3-pointers in the 4th quarter. Then, it states that Durant also made a difficult pull-up after Serbia cut the lead back to two on a Bogdanovic three-point play with 56 seconds remaining.

Preferred solution: I would like the mistake fixed.

Sports and Politics and McAfee

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

If you wish to tolerate the politicalization of sports on your channels, so be it. But sports are a refuge for many of us from daily life and the political disasters of the current world.

I graduated from U of Michigan and am (was) a fervent follower of College GameDay as are many of my colleagues and friends and family. Today, I was totally excited about the start of college football season. I turned on College GameDay as usual and was assaulted by McAfee's pro 'the prior president' comments. I DO NOT WANT to hear his name when I am relaxing and looking forward to the games.

He is an abomination in most ways, but this is beyond the pale.

I already have a few hundred fans who are ready to boycott ESPN. I look forward to your response to this incredible intrusion into our social/sports outlets.

And while I am sure a few hundred people are not a cause of concern for you, I will be contacting multiple sources for aid and support in this very tense time. I am appalled and SO disappointed by ESPN.

Preferred solution: A formal rebuke to McAfee for the politization of your show (he has his own, perhaps he can spew his nonsense there). A suspension would be appropriate.

Took my $ but won’t let me login

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I purchased the ESPN+ subscription and it took the money out of my account, but it says my account doesn't exist. 'Stealing your money,' they said they can't do anything for me over the phone. The app sucks and the fact that they took my money and I can't use the services I paid for is frustrating.

Firing of Samantha Ponder

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I am cancelling my subscription because of espns stance on allowing biological males compete in women sports. Plus, firing on air employees for stating it is unfair for biological males to compete in female sports.

Your network has turned into a mouthpiece for radical liberal agendas.

The firing of Sam Ponder, Rachel Steele and Robert Griffin III for stating common sense beliefs that men dont belong in women sports is basically censorship of rational views. I can no longer justify spending my hard earned money on an organization with your beliefs, and will do my best to encourage others to abandon your programming.

If you miss the one NFL game of the week, tough luck. It is gone.

Pathetic. If ESPN was an animal, it would be fat rat with syphilis.

US Open - unfit commentators

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Please, replace John McEnroe and Nick Kyrgios as they inject biased opinions and are unprofessional. They are not ESPN quality commentators. Patrick McEnroe and Darren Cahill are much better!

View full review

User's recommendation: Mute your TV when John McEnroe or Nick Kyrgios comments coz it’s biases and not unbiased and professional or even sensible most of the time. Why are you keeping John?? Go with brother Patrick! Who selects these commentators anyway? Really? Tennis channel always have good, professional guys and gals!

Poor graphics

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Watching the Tigers and Yankees game and the graphics are so small I can only see the score clearly. I have better than 20/20 vision with a 55" TV, never saw such poor graphics.

I'm glad I can watch the Tigers on Bally's Sports in Detroit instead of ESPN. At least I can follow who's at bat, pitchers, what pitch was thrown, mph, pitch count etc.

Maybe ESPN should fire their graphics people and keep good hosts like Samantha Ponders.

Pros:
  • Good coverage
Cons:

Preferred solution: Better graphics

User's recommendation: Demand better production and less concern with DEI or political issues, stick with sports broadcasting

ESPN - STOP Sexualizing little girls eating ice cream on film

It's all over TikTok. Y'all posted a video of little girls eating ice cream and posted it for everyone to see.

Look at the comments being flooded by men; y'all are disgusting.

Little league regional

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We came from Ohio to watch the little league regional. It was going great till ESPN started videoing.

I was in my HANDICAP spot and could see the whole feild. I went to the bathroom and when I came back ESPN had taken my spot. Even though my mother explained that I was on a scooter and needed that spot to back in. He really didn't care and took it anyway.

She even ask him if he was going to take a handicap seat, and he said I guess so I always set up here. I had to move to a spot where I couldn't see the feild and sit In the sun so he had a good shot. This was at whitetown, Indiana. The staff at facility was great but ESPN was rude!!

An important game and I could barely see. Do better ESPN!!!
