ESPN

Good morning, whomever is in charge of programming PLEASE STOP TALKING basketball 90% of the show!! The season and draft is FINISHED!! Talk about current sports like Wimbledon, baseball or the up coming hockey draft or Football season.. if your hosts don't have that kinda knowledge then scale their appearance off air or put folks that know the game on.

And for goodness sake don't do just a 5 minute segment! FYI, LOVE IT WHEN MAD DOG IS ON! He is a Plethora of knowledge And keeps Stephen A in check. He should have his own tv show...

I am complaining about your Wimbledon tennis coverage. For the first 30 minutes of play, we are subjected to having to listen and watch your commentators instead of seeing live action. Do you really think viewers care about watching the commentators when the first 30 minutes of Wimbledon tennis is happening at the same time?

Do your commentators require a certain amount of airtime to be employed? How arrogant and egotistical. Then you switch from a live match (Ons Jabeur) to three women commentators to preview the Djokovic match. Really? Your tennis coverage is terrible.

Also, when multiple matches are going on, you should show the American players as priority. Why do you need to show Djokovic in the first round. You will have plenty of time to show him later on in the tournament.

I am…

I tuned in to watch the Dodgers and Braves game, they are talking about Aaron Judge contract talks. They are talking everything but the game I tuned in to watch. I hope to never see another kay-rod Sunday night baseball game, ever.

Disappointed I have no other choice to see this game...

The Sunday Dodgers vs Braves game announcers were ridiculous. They talked incessantly about everything except the game. We had no idea what was happening @ the game. They would not shut up about their personal experiences & interviews with all kinds of people but NOTHING about the game.

My god, why do commentators for the Braves-Dodgers game have to be on screen the entire game??? They take up WAY too much of the screen; this is a stupid decision and if there were any other way to watch this game, I'd be there. FIX IT please.

We want to see the GAME, not your employees. See attached image. MK Fields

I just watched college WS final and Ole Miss claiming first title ever.It was really exciting and ESPN cuts away from trophy presentation and remaining celebration so they can show hour long pre-game show for a Sunday night MLB game in June. You should be ashamed you ruined the experience for me and a lot of people and saying you could finish watching on ESPN app just isn’t good enough.

Ridiculous liberal Woke company ESPN is for giving us your sad commentary on political issues. Is this a sports station or liberal media fake news channel?

There is no place in sports for the tearful rants about Roe v Wade ruling. Keep Politics out of sports. Keep the tearful women off air if they are so upset about the ruling. Let them go work for a news network if that is their passion.

The rest of us want sports on a sports station. We could also do without all the Pride events that teams seem to think families really want injected into sports. You are beholden to your corporate owners whose philosophy is destroying all they touch

Emily Kaplan is the worst. She is the best you could do. No talent the worst part of the Stanley Cup. Mundane and boring, just terrible.

The college championship tournament for mens baseball is going on right now. You wouldn’t know it if you watch Get Up, Unless you see a promo for the game. Please cover more sporting events and not be so narrow minded.

This is NOT a small event, and DESERVES better (any) coverage.

The announcers at the CWS that have commentated the Arkansas games are unprofessional and obnoxious. When Arkansas is at bat, they talk about everything but the game. When opponent is at bat, they know every little detail about the players. I am tired of the disrespect. These commentators are not sports journalists - no professional qualities at all.

You should be ashamed to air their comments.

A disgruntled Arkansas fan, Jo Martinson

Your commentators for the CWS are horrid. Biased beyond words. Cannot be called “journalists” When Arkansas is at bat they find all kinds of trash to talk about and show stupid stuff from the fans - have to check my app to find out what is going on. When Ole Miss is at bat, it’s all business and lots of info about their players.

You can do better than this.

A disgruntled viewer, Jo Martinson

Really disappointed that you have completely ignored Carnell Tate's commitment to THEE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY today. If he had signed with either Tennessee or LSU you would have been all over it with breaking news Sports Center and more. Your Sec and Acc bias is growing old.

Please go back to just reporting what's going on in sports and leave your favoritism off the air

Why do you continue to pay Stephen Smith to get on your network and just yell, without making a significant/accurate point. Perkins says so much more, with much less volume. Once he is gone, I will come back to ESPN, but this guy makes it easy to not watch ESPN.

You guys can do better.

Sarah Spain should be fired and sued. She cannot talk about the Rays players' religion, and call them biggots because of their religion. Remove her at once or I'll cancel all my subscriptions.

To whom it may concern. We were “trying”to watch the Mets play the angels on Sunday. Please don’t take our met announcers from us again. They call the game and don’t try to conduct interviews. We could care less about anything the players have To say. We missed almost two innings of play. We don’t care about mike Trout’s fantasy League. We don’t care about what costumes he wears on a lost bet. Interview him on your own time now our viewing time. Almost as bad as the apple show. Thanks for your attention to this issue. Peggy Kearney

If there are multiple college baseball games on, why the hell am i watching the sqeeze on both channels?? If i wanted to watch highlights id wait till sportscenter. Youve got it on both your channels. Then the same damn game on both channels.

You stopped showing a game that was tied up in the 9th to douple preview miss games. Whats the excuse?

My complaint is about the camera men fir the Hockey game on June 11th. Tampa Bay bolts with the New York Rangers. The camera men focus on the crowd. He did not show the ceremony and he did not show replays we were lost trying to follow the game!

Am hoping next game you have a producer to guide the camera game. We are not happy with the coverage ESPN cover is was poor service am sure am not the only one! Thank you

I saw analyst even though they're rooting for a team wouldn't show it why they're on air Jeff Van Gundy is the most biased person against the Warriors than there ever has been I don't know why he even announces the games he doesn't like them and it's obvious by the way he is commentates Jalen basketball talk but again biased it's unbelievable you can see right through it I watch ESPN all the time and I just get sick and fucking tired of it

To whom it may concern,

One of your supposed employees made some very sexist and hurtful comments to me and a threatening comment aimed at a current MLB player in a sports-centric Twitter space that a friend of mine was hosting tonight, 6/7. His name is James Hightower, Twitter handle: @JamesH_ESPN, and I say "supposed" because his Twitter biography states "@ESPN Staff Writer on all things HOUSTON!"

In this Twitter space, we were talking about hockey and player contracts, I was explaining what I believe to be a factor in a few of our players returning to my team in the upcoming season, and he replied, "That's a woman's answer, stop talking sports and go back to the kitchen where you belong." I was baffled, and while stuttered as I was trying to muster up a response to defend myself and…

They are the worst at covering hockey. Sean McDonough and Ray Ferraro should never cover a hockey game ever. They’re the worst announcers and so one sided. I hate ESPN and hope you take this seriously. YOU SUCK

You suck!!! Stop broadcasting St Louis Cardinals games!!!

When I'm watching a game, I want to watch the game, even with the poor announcers you have, but I think it is really bad when they are talking to players on the field. Very unprofessional.

Sean McDonough‘s comment about the New York Rangers “kid” line needing a “nap” demonstrates that he no longer is relevant on broadcasts … Either is Barry Melrose, who doesn’t have any understanding of the modern player … Fire of all of the announcers who have squeaky annoying voices (be they women or men).

I realize that this isn’t your problem, but I’m retired and living on a fixed income. I. Already pay for Dish network because I really like to watch sports. I pay for the plan that includes ESPN and SEC network.

Then you started putting my games on SEC+. So I get a ROKU so i can gat the ESPN app on line so I can get that. Then you decide to add ESPN+ so I have to pay more to watch my games.

I don’t know if your trying to pad your upper managers pocket’s or just trying to price me out of your market. Either way, I wanted to let you know that I do not appreciate it and think you should be ashamed of yourself’s.

Regarding first NBA play off game between Boston Celtics & S.F. Warriors; Three game analyst dominated the commentary while I had to watch the game on a split screen. You might have had the “VIEW” panel do the play by play. You ruined one the most revered sporting events in sports. Please stick with what has worked!

Aloha

I tuned in for coverage of the NBA finals and got a split screen with three talking heads sharing the space with the video of the game. I muted the three blowhards, but still had only half of a screen to watch the action. Please just show the game and leave the big-mouthed clowns off the video.

Beth Mowens is NOT easy to listen to. Please remove her from any and all future broadcasting of any sport.

Signed up to watch the NBA. The finals are carried only by ESPN, but the game screen is shared with a group of commentators who don't even talk about the game. There is no play-by-play coverage. The video is lagging realtime by nearly a minute, so I can't even listen to the radio while watching the screen.

Can you imagine tuning in to the Superbowl and having to listen to three jocks reminiscing while the game itself is on half the screen? And then we cut away from the game to replace it with a school picture of one of the commentators kids.

Have they lost their minds?

Having the commentary on the entire time we are trying to watch the nba game is ridiculous. We can’t even pay attention or hear what is really going on on the court! Absolutely terrible!

I am trying to watch the NBA finals game one and have to listen to these three commentators talking constantly and I am unable to hear game and penalty calls what does Spike Lee have to do with the game. I am so disappointed!!!

Splitting the nba final with your analysts, please STOP and show the game. To much BS and noise. Thanks

You had the brilliant idea to put those 3 Motherfukers on the side of the tv taking about the game. If I wanted to watch it like that I would watch it on espn. This is some real bullshit.

Why are these men conversing about nothing while an NBA finals game is being played? I want to see the game and here "play-by-play" announcers, not this irritating drivel.

Get the talking heads and Magic off the screen. Cover the damn game.

There are a large majority of your fan club that so enjoyed the softball regional and super regionals without the likes of Beth and her Sooner comments in a non Sooner game. Now here we are again. We have kept count as to how many times she mentions the Sooner instead of great accomplishments of the two teams playing.

Thanks for Monica and Jessica, they are great. Will be listening to radio for remainder of series. Our campaign, which is mounting in members dues to her degrading of teams on field, will continue to try to eliminate sponsorship of ESPN carrying the games.

ESPN streaming of golf continues to end before winner is determined. This is outrageous!!!

The announcers on your sports (live games) are disastrous. They never met a silence they couldn't fill with rubbish, inanities, and self-aggrandizements. I have trouble following games because of their constant noise. I frequently mute them, but then that makes the games harder to follow and enjoy.

Put a muzzle on them and only allow them to speak if it pertains to the game in progress and short and sweet.

Biased coverage for New York vs Carolina hockey. So Evident! DON'T LIKE ESPN coverage at all. I am not only one that feels this way, either.

Your woke support of BLM has me canceling my subscription. That fake corrupt organization still has you baffled. Good luck finding viewers willing to put up with your woke nonsense.

I AM CANCELLING MY DISNEY AND ESPN+ TODAY AS A RESULT OF THE DISGUSTING, EMBARRASSING, AND MORALLY REPUGNANT POLITICAL DIATRIBE ON THE NBA PREGAME SHOW INVOLVING MICHAEL WILBON, JALEN ROSE, AND STEVEN A. SMITH. THEIR OFFENSIVE AND INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS RELATIVE TO THE POLITICAL UNREST IN THE UNITED STATES WAS INEXCUSABLE AT BEST AND THE MOST EGGREGIOUS AFFRONTARY TO THIS NATION I'VE EVER WITNESSED ON TELEVISION, LET ALONE ON A SPORTS NETWORK.

THAT SOME 12 YEAR OLD PRODUCER THOUGHT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO GIVE THE POMPOUS, RACISTS, EGOTISTICAL MUTANTS IS THE SINGLE MOST OFFENSIVE LEFT-WING, WOKE, BLM BULLSHIT EVER WITNESSED. FUCK ESPN, AND FUCK THESE MORONS WHO THINK THEY ARE MORALLY SUPERIOR SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PLATFORM?

THERE ARE 390 MILLION GUNS IN THE UNITED STATES AND YOU THINK…

Why do you allow political opinion? Do you allow dissenting views?

Sport Center on 5/25/22 going political again. What does the tragic shooting in Texas have to do with sports? You take advantage of a horrible event and provide a platform for misinformation, Steve Kerrs screaming that 90% of Americans want universal background checks is not accurate.

But this what I come to expect from the Disney Company. I watch for ESPN for sports, not to have an immoral woke company tell me how to live my life.

Tuned in to watch the pga championship and it rankles me that your coverage is to show us every shot by a golfer 18 shots behind and counting. Show us real professional golf not a has been you wish gave you ratings. There are so many good golfers it is disgusting you wasting your coverage on a duffer.

Your PGA coverage is atrocious. I turned it on to watch the greatest players in the world. What I got is an analysis of Barleys swing. Commentary from an obviously drunk Aikeman. Terrible. I will never watch golf on your network ever again.

I am seventy years old and this is the first time in my life, I have ever complained about coverage of a sporting event.

The coverage so far off the PGA has been horrendous. I want to watch golf, not listen to celebrity hogwash. Worst golf coverage ever.

My I phone and truck radio are keyed into ESPN channel 80 all the time. I love listening to Keyshawn, Jwill and Max every day. But this morning, Saturday, May 14th on the morning show it was I would hope not what ESPN would approve.

Not sure who the men were that were talking, but they were first talking about Tom Brady and then began talking about the NBA player who had a run in with a couple of fans. It was ok until they started using 4 letter words I will not repeat on the complaint.

I am sorry, but there is no call for that kind of speech on public radio especially not knowing what age is listening. I can only imagine what their comment would be if they had been called certain names on the air.

Does it make it ok for them to use inappropriate language? I would hope that you look…

The announcers for Bruin/Hurricanes hockey game do not call the game. They tell stories and chit chat. It is annoying, we shut them off!!!

I’ve had 4 things scheduled to record on the espn channel and I I’ve had to delete all 4 without watching them because EVERYTHING is going into overtime. I use to like espn but now I think it’s the worst channel on foxtel

Its really sad when I can not watch the Stars vs Flames because you have Leah Hextal doing okay by play. Has to be the worst commentator I've ever heard. Wtf?? Are you doing ESPN??
