ESPN Complaints & Reviews

Espn s coverage of the US open sucks. I am an American and want to see the Americans play. Especially when a match is close. Today Aug 25 Madison Keys was in a very tight opening match and instead of showing the final set espn decided to show 2 other matches not meaningful to any American. I know they don't care but I decided NOT to watch the rest of the tournament because it's too stressful wondering if they're going to show the American or not. This is been going on for the last few yrs because they want Americans to buy espn+ to watch the American and this customer at least won't. Now you lost at least me not watching how much weight Sarena lost on some drug. Good luck.

Yes im telling u people better stop the lebron ###. And disrespecting the goat in ordan. I[censored] dont i have asked my best friend, who is in congress, to do somethin peds use in basketball . Lebron james being the leader. I[censored] dont stop covering this steroid use up. Then im going tell my friend do it do you mf hear me. He is a ped user. So u mfs better get jordans people orelse. Sick this mf slander on goat of all goats in basketballl. Im not kidding

Can;t believe this jack_ss ( Stephen A Smith }, is still on your show, I'm sure I'm one of millions that will continue to boycott your channel as long as he is there and the list of your partners is a pretty impressive list of non American companies ! There are plenty of other sources to get sports news. He is the worst sports personality I have ever seen.

Many people were upset that espn failed to show the UNC v Ga. Tech game 12-5-21 until half-time. It was baffling that you were showing an unimportant talk event re. racing instead of the UNC game as you had said you would show. Furthermore, it was not showing on another espn station you suggested. I searched all of your numerous affiliated stations, k and nothing showing. How can you let this happen when you have so very many affiliated station possibilities? You monopolize sports broadcasting so that viewers have no other choice. It is way past time you fulfill your obligations and show games you propose to show, and shift other things to those many other espn possibilities I find when searching my spectrum channels, and most of them are carrying only blanks.

These two missed most of the game running their mouth about anything but the game. 2/27/2021 video Quality was horrible. Too blurry to read numbers!
We deserve better!
Also we rarely see the first 5 minutes of a game. I have no idea what the app is but I don’t have it. I pay for ESPN+ but it’s on my computer. I have no way to have all of your stuff.

I have watched hundreds of ESPN college football games. but I have never witnessed two more biased commentators than Dave Pasch and Greg McElroy's call of the South Carolina-Auburn game. It was obvious they were expecting and pulling for Auburn to win. WATCH the tape. And tell McElroy that's Care-o- lina not ca-lina!

sir , please help me that how can i avail the prize.

Dear Sir,
This is with reference to an advertisement wherein Cyrus Broacha uses foul language(which is beeped) to advertise a television programme on the channel ESPN.
I am a teacher and come in contact with children everyday who seem to think that using foul language is alright and am sure seeing this on television will only encourage them even more.
Kindly register my complaint.
Thanking you.
Yours sincerely,
S.Lyngdoh.
