ESPN has a serious problem when it comes to pushing politics in their programming. Not only do people not want to hear it, they push political views that only the uninformed and the fringe would accept, and they try to make it seem like it's the norm. They're really looking to start a huge row with their viewers when the sports seasons resume and I just don't know why they're going to do that, especially when they know better.

Maybe it's time to get rid of the Ivy League leftists and find people who want to talk about sports, that's just a thought. It seems like a lot of their reporters are bitter about not getting a job with regular news media outlets and are using ESPN to audition for those positions. It's getting nutty now.

I subscribed to ESPN recently through my iPhone. I downloaded the app. It started playing a live sports event. But several minutes later it said I would need a cable or satellite provider. I didn't have one. So I canceled the service within an hour. I was charged $4.99 for the first month of service. When I tried to get a refund and pointed that the download service doesn't warn people like me that we have to pay monthly fees to another company to get their service, they basically said, "too bad." Now $4.99 is not a big deal. But imagine if 100,000 other people do what I did? Now that's a pretty good chunk of change. I know that Disney, which owns ESPN, is really in bad shape financially. OK, that was tongue in cheek, in case you didn't know. This would seem to be ripe for a class action lawsuit. Are there any attorneys out there?

It shows other stuff when you want to watch baseball. Like I'm fine with other channels showing the scores for other baseball games but I mean F*ck. Sometimes the screen entirely shows another baseball game. LIKE, IF I WANTED TO WATCH THAT ONE I WOULD HAVE! Super annoying announcers, like what the heck!?! I mean what the heck!?! I mean jeez like what the heck!?! This is so weird like what the heck!?! FRICKING GARBAGE LIKE WHAT THE HECK!?!

Worst experience for the last three UFC events. I had to call support for each event and was only able to watch the first two events on my cell phone. I give up on chromecast (which works with every other app i have ever tried no problem) and bought a Roku to directly download the app to the TV I intend to watch it on. I purchased the fight two days prior to fight night on my iphone. Tech suggested that I request a refund from purchasing UFC 244 on my iphone and then repurchase the fights on a PC so it would show on all devices linked to my account. I done as he suggested (what a hassle this was, another waiting call with apple pay). The fights still did not sync across my devices. This is the worst experience ever for streaming any event. The support sucks and even with sending them screen shots of my bank account for verification of purchase they suggest to ask for a refund and purchase again on a different device. I should get all events free for a year for my troubles. It has made one of our favorite things to do such a hassle it isn't worth it anymore. I will be looking for another options purchase the fights and cancel all this ESPN hoop jumping. When you do get it to work you have to change stations between the early prelims, the prelims, and the main event or you will miss them. Be aware of this or miss fights. The worst marketing ever. I wish i could give negative stars.

I love ESPN. I don't love ESPN when Bill Walton is commentating, especially when he is commentating with Dave Pasch. It's awkward to listen to Walton demean Pasch as if Pasch has no idea what he is talking about. For example the Utah/Oregon men's basketball tournament game where Walton argued the point that Oregon was going to make the NCAA tournament because they are currently the "hottest" team in the PAC-12 according to Walton. Pasch made the point that Oregon's only way to make the NCAA tournament is to win the PAC-12 tournament and Walton exclaimed how wrong Pasch was and how wrong the selection process is. Please ESPN get Walton off ESPN. He ruins the game because it's hard to watch the game while he goes on his personal rants. We don't care as costumers to hear Walton's hippie opinions. We just want to watch the game with commentating related to what is going on, on the court! I bet Pasch hates commentating with Walton because of how Walton makes him feel during the games.

Get Up, ESPNs replacement for Mike & Mike, is simply terrible. Comprised of Mike Greenberg, Michelle Beadle, and Jalen Rose, Get Up is the latest of ESPN shows attempting to shove the ESPN social agenda down the collective throats of the American sports enthusiasts. And just like the rest of ESPN, Get Up is tanking. The shows hosts have little to no chemistry and listening to them praddle on and on about how everyone must conform to their thought process is exhausting and boring. These people actually believe that they are the paragons of intellectual thought. Nothing could be further from the truth. These hosts are the latest ESPN hosts who must espouse the ESPN social doctrines, thus they speak as trained parrots. Incredibly stupid, boring parrots. For instance, just this morning the three hosts discussed a statement made by Tony Romo about Aaron Rogers (sic) and Russell Wilson. Attempting to create something out of nothing, these brainiacs said Tony was obviously casting aspersions on Russell. Obviously? Really? There was nothing obvious within Tonys statement. But this is the way ESPN reports... dont ask the author of the statement what he meant, just reach a conclusion that fits your agenda and run with it. And just like most ESPN shows, Get Up is tiresome.
