I was truly offended by Tracie Morgan’s monologue all his racial remarks
ESPN customers are primarily frustrated with announcer quality, citing excessive talking, bias, and failure to focus on game action. Technical issues including wrong channel information, app problems, and poor camera work are widespread. A significant portion of complaints involve politics being injected into sports coverage and inappropriate gender-related commentary.

I was truly offended by Tracie Morgan’s monologue all his racial remarks
Last nights coverage of the HR Derby was hard to watch without the volume down. The announcers were talking the whole time about things other than the Derby. People actually want to watch or hear what's going on and not have them talk about the season and what the players are doing with their lives and stats, etc... The announcers are doing that during games also and it's hard to watch. Think about getting people that are actually going to call the game and not divert the viewers attention from it. I've been watching ESPN for over 25+ years and since you've added mostly former players from every sport to talk in the booth during games, it's been getting harder to watch every year.

Why no women's matches shown on the 4th of July Wimbledon coverage? Three different American women were playing, one upset the former champ, another is a multiple-time champ, and another almost defeated a SF from last year (2018)! Instead, it was Nadal for the millionth time.
I'm on the West Coast, so in my time zone, I should have been able to see at least one of these three women on ESPN coverage, but I did not see any. None at all! Instead it was Nadal-Kyrgios all morning long and then after that more non-American men, a doubles match.
Today was Independence day, but you sure didn't bother to show some of the great American players. Basically, ESPN, your Wimbledon coverage needs to be called Wimbledon men's coverage, and also, you suck.
Your MLB coverage is HORRID. I want to watch baseball, not see 3 idiots spend 1 1/2 innings talking to some old timer and then to another idiot whose claim to fame is hot dog gluttony
Why is Duke not on.
You're coverage of the 2019 College World Series is great the only complaint I have is the information panel on the score number of all pitches in enemies the information panel in the left left up hand corner is very poor needs to be bigger for us older gentleman who can barely see and give more info
Your new scoreboard on the screen of College World Seried baseball id way too small for viewers to see much lesd Read it. Whats wrong with you people. The regionals were much done. Very Disappointed in the scoreboard on tje Screen.
I am an avid golfer and fan of watching tournaments on ESPN. However, when are you going to realize that most golfers want to see more of what is happening on the course and less talking from former players and others.. This is the opinion of almost all the members at my golf club.
Canadian F1 Grand Prix was scheduled to air on Dish at 6 pm Sunday! The race didn’t actually start until 7:45 pm. Then halt way thru the race, around lap 35 off 70 lap race it shut off!! I don’t understand why you would do that to someone who is paying for the service!! Very unprofessional.
You are a complete disaster in everything you do with NCAA baseball. Your channels are screwed up your ESPN app to go to is screwed up you never allow enough time for these teams to play don’t you understand college baseball is at least a 3 to 4 hour event you get all the advertising you need it’s not like professional baseball. If you can’t afford to cover it then get out of it turn it over to somebody else that can do a hell of a lot better job than you guys are doing
WOW---I'm trying to watch ESPNU---Texas Tech and Oklahoma State baseball game 6-8-2019---The camera people are doing a horrible job---The cameras are shaking so bad that it's making me ill---I can't even watch it---come on really ESPN this sucks
Would you please remove David Ross from your Baseball broadcast team, I enjoy your coverage but I can't stand his horrible, horrible grinding , monotone voice, and his stupid rambling opinions , they really annoy me. The rest of the team are exellent and I enjoy them very much and they are amusing and fun to listen to and know what they are talking about.
This is a genuine complaint , and not a vendetta against him, afterall I'm a cubs fan Please get him out of the broadcast booth, so I can enjoy my Baseball again.. Thankyou for your concerns.... D Whitehead..
During the second week of the wimbildon fortnight last July I signed up an downloaded the ESPN app, including the paid portion. During the trial period I had no problems.
However after the trial period I could not get the app to work. As a non nerd I may be doing something wrong. I really want to get my tennis back. I have waited for a long time due to illness.
I still have a lot of trouble speaking making using the phone difficult. I can talk but it extremely uncomfortable and includes a lot of coughing. Please get back to me ASAP, as I am missing most of the French Open.
I thank you very much! com. Although it is difficult I can speak on the phone, just make sure the number is identified. 646-912-0867
Watching the NCAA softball World Series right now and can’t believe how unprofessional the program is. Who the hell cares to watch someone stuff their face with food for two innings. They barely talked about the game. Grow up ESPN - this is the Women’s World Series, not a backlot Little League game. Disgusting.
I've been watching MLB for many years. Over that period of time I've listened to some of the best and worst of play-by-play and color analysts for the Yankees and Mets, being a native NYer. I can now include Alex Rodriguez in the category of one of the worst.
Aside from a vocal range that seems to be one of a pre-pubescent high schooler, his commentary is mundane at best. At worst his comments are self-conscious, forced, and in many cases outright ridiculous.
For example tonight when another booth analyst was showing a player's shoe that had been purchased for $1500 by the player who then had spikes attached. A-Rod's comment was that the shoes cost more than his car. What a buffoon!
Is anyone supposed to believe him, much less feel empathy that this millionaire many times over is…
Can my complaint I'm watching the college girls World Series Alabama Oklahoma your two announcers on those two ladies you got to get them off they know nothing about baseball and the way they talk they don't explain nothing much going on the game they explain everything else but but nothing they are lousy you know I have no idea what they're doing you got to get them off really you can't have those two notch in the World Series I swear to God they are so crappy
App needs refreshing.Not showing basketball boxscores...
I have purchased ESPN+ and for the second time in two weeks I couldn't watch any event??? I need help!
I got home from work ready for game of thrones, but turned on espn to see what happened in the games and then the jack ass Micheal Eaves starts it off spoiling for people that hadn’t had time to watch yet. I am (was) a huge espn fan but that really pissed me off, that’s not right for him to do...
btw shouldn’t he have been working when game of thrones was on... instead he was watching it at work then throwing out spoilers.... which is not cool at all, I’ll still watch high noon, and pti but what Micheal Eaves did was completely unprofessional, And will make me think twice about turning espn on if I have another option.
Do your announcers on Cards/Phils realize its not memory lane time, or try to impress time AND there are 2 !! Teams playing..not just one..if I were not a lady I would have some vile names for these clowns..disgusting...oh..too kind niw they r doing an interview with a Phils player and kaughing at our mgr
You have at least three commentators with the Cardinals and the Cubs game with only the knowledge of a wiffle ball game Carpenter on 1st base hit to left field if it's fielded cleanly you never go to third especially in the third inning I am 51 years old I have been playing baseball since I could walk
Why are you advertising roundup! Despicable!
Can we listen to two non-bias commentators calling the rockets & warriors game, all season long you had these two looser calling the warriors games. Enough
Why did u dis the Detroit Lions 2nd pick in the second round draft
Dear folks and deciders at ESPN,
while I love your NBA coverage with the always entertaining and insight sharing crew Mike Breen and the wonderful Coaching-Duo Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy, I have to admit that I am more than disappointed with your decision, for whatever arbitral reasons, to put Kobe Bryant‘s Detail on your exclusive Platform ESPN+ to ostracize fanatics of the Game outside your beloved land of the FREE and home of the brave.
If it wasn‘t for a lovely and truly brave person on YouTube that put out some of the Videos of the first season in 2018, which were taken down quite quickly, as well as only a handful of ads, quite a few people would have never even heard of it.
I worked as an Analyst in Soccer at the biggest Club in Germany and one of the most successful ones in…
Your supposed to have the Phillies on. But you some stupid interview with some stupid guy that can't speak English.this is why I don't watch your stupid channel anymore
Announcers of Rockets/Jazz games are horrible and so obviously bias. We don’t need them to count down how many shots Harden misses. She is probably the worst announcer I ever heard.
Get the BIMBO'S off of MEN'S SPORTS. NO MAN in his right mind wants to hear the opinion of a dumb little girl, who's never even caught a pass in her entire life, give her opinion about if she thinks it was a good catch or not. She CAN'T RELATE !
She's never played at the INTENSITY of MEN and has absolutely NO CLUE the level MEN play at. If you all want your ratings to continue to FALL, then keep letting completely LOST little girls comment on MEN'S sports. Especially when there is 3 or 4 ex-players or coaches of the NFL or NBA and ONE DUMB ASS BIMBO who's never even bounced a basketball DEBATING or CONTRADICTING what PRO-PLAYER or Coaches have to say. It's a fn JOKE.
Let them report on women's volleyball, or something. ANYTHING but MEN'S SPORTS ! Men don't give a RATS ASS what the dumb…
ESPN + requires a subscription fee but they only show portions of the events supposedly offered on the site. They send other portions of the program to ESPN watch making it more difficult to view the entire program. They also have decided to now air certain boxing programs under a pay per view format that we were lead to believe would be offered inside of ESPN +.
In short you guys really suck when it comes to boxing broadcasting!!
If Denver does not make it to the finals your announcer's will have a heart attack. This is pathetic. What are they all from Denver? It's really a joke. I live in Tennessee and the bias in this game is unreal.
I have no complaint about the content nor service.
However, I don't understand how Stephen A. Smith can continue to be so rude and arrogant towards everybody - all the time! I appreciate his knowledge and debate skills, but his constant bragging and whining and "he's always right and everyone else is ALWAYS wrong attitude", is causing me to consider stop watching First Take.
Today, his constant whining about how his vacation was disrupted because of the Magic Johnson story was way over the top. He's a professional, and is paid handsomely. Can't someone in ESPN management speak to him about his behavior? I'm sure that I am not the only viewer who feels this way.
Will you please instruct the gentlemen announcing the Masters golf tournament to unbutton their sport coats while seated They are meant to be buttoned while standing. Surely someone there knows this
Thank you and I'll be watching for the change
I have a complaint that involves sports broadcasting. Mainly Tiger baseball. I tune in to watch baseball because it is, or should I say use to be a relaxing enjoyable time for me. It seems that who ever does the broadcasting takes away from the game by a steady stream of chatter.
I can appreciate an occasional comment or description of the play or players but I feel it has gotten to be all about the product in the booth and less about the product on the field. Imagine going to a movie and having three people talking constantly about the movie,telling you all about what you have just seen and giving you the complete history and life experience of each actor.
They out talk each other by showing you how many movie stars they met and their lifetime experience with that person. It is annoying…
I wish that the ESPN would get off the University of Kentucky's back especially John Calapari. The sports announcers with ESPN stink and most are ACC biased. The comments and picks that these announcers make are completely in left field for the most part.
Kentucky's loss to Auburn was a bad loss to a good team. You very seldom beat a good basketball team three games in any given year especially without one of their best players not playing, Auburn not only beat Kentucky but Kansas and
North Carolina as well in their last 3 games but all you could hear from the announcers early on was likelihood of three ACC teams were going to be in the Final Four. Well they aren't! With Three of the No.
1 recuirting picks Duke didn't make it, Auburn beat North Carolina just like Kentucky had beaten…
You suck espn ...with all the hype for duke and Zion ....they are not the only college team out there...makes me sick to my stomach....lost my respect for you ..hope you lose a lot of supporters over this bs !!! Hope you crash and burn !!!!!
unable to watch that i paid for espn plus extremely unfriendly site.
Prior to the elte 8 broadcast you braodcast infomation about the teams players. Yet many times you mentioned u of tennessee they were eliminated a couple days ago. Texas Tech is going to the final 4 yet hardly a mention.
Who in corporate is a tennesee fan? espn on their knees as buttchugger u. Check out you for butchutter u. For real.
I appreciate that we can watch women’s march madness on ESPN, but listening to blabber rather than calling what is happening on the court is so annoying. When there is a call on the floor, it would be helpful to have information on what is happening in the game, rather than an ongoing discussion on new diabetes monitoring system.
It is good for diabetics to have the system, a mention could send me to google for more information. Is the ESPN expectation of announcers that they should continously chatter? We love basketball, but hate to have to mute the sound rather than face the irritation of endless, pointless commentary that has little to do with what is happening on the court.
It is refreshing to find an announcer who recounts plays and doesn’t feel the need to fill every second with…
Keith Blabbermouth goes on a rant about someone shooting a white turkey and he wants everyone to make the hunter's life a living hell. I am only one person but as long as that egotistical blow hard is on your staff ESPN will not be shown on any of our televisions.
My complaint concerns a comment a reporter made on ESPN's "Around the Horn" show on March 26. 2019.
She tells the audience that everyone is light years behind the times if they do not approve of sodomy, which is one man sticking his penis up another man's rectum. Does she also approve of a man sodomizing a woman as well? She needs serious help.
Why does ESPN allow Tony Realli who hosts Around the Horn to wear the same clothing every day of the week.? Hope he washes them out nightly
What do you have against Notre Dame? You switch broadcasting when ND is winning, especially on Women's Basketball. When UCONN is killing their opponent, you broadcast the complete game. What's with that?
I was just watching NFL Live, and you need to do something about the way Josina Anderson dresses ! Her thigh shows all the way uo with those slits in her dress. You need to stop it .
i just wanted to make a suggestion and it is such a pain in the ass to just find a place to make a comment or an idea to improve your site but it is impossible to figure out a way just to send it to you..
so after all the frustration... when you are looking at the scores at any sport u are interested in, I would like to suggest that you provide a way to slide the scores or change the order listed. so that the ones you are interested in you can organize it so that they are together.
such a simple idea but now I feel stupid to bring it up after all the pain in the ass it was to find the place just to say it..
thank you for your time
,Tn vs Auburn. mostly about the past,and his theory of success , of which most runs together along with one cliche after the other. Sadly you can only understand every other word. Move over Dick,,,,!
get rid of dick vitale what good does he do he is so annoying,love to see somebody take him by the collar and escort him out of the building,i know there are a lot of complaints about him
What happened to my College game pass? It looks completely different and totally confusing. It's black and white, double image and faded. I want my original one back. PLEASE!
Get rid of Dick Vital. He needs to learn his audience. You don't sit and spend your time praising the rival of the teams playing. It make you want to turn off the TV
Get Dan Dakich off tv. Zero as a coach and zero as a broadcaster.
To whom it may concern: Please bring back Will Buxton to F1 on ESPN. His on-track live commentary with a mobile camera before each race is excellent. He is never boring, like some of the people on the F1 broadcast ( no names). He is the face of the new Formula 1 on ESPN. You humans at ESPN should know that. He is dynamic, energetic, and brings a realism to F1 coverage that no one else does.
Thank You, and GOD Bless you all.
