Fox Sports 1 reviews and complaints
undisputed
As a Veteran od 22 years service I take great offense at the statements/remarks listed below. Until your "sportscasters" can stick to sports and not spew their political beliefs into my living room I will be requesting that the Fox Sports Channels be removed from my satellite package. I refuse to pay for someone to disrespect the Flag, our Country, and the people who served both by turning what is supposedly a sports show into their own little soapbox. Let them pursue politics on their own time and their own dime.
“After engaging in character assassination against Green Bay Packers fans who chose not to protest during Thursday’s National Anthem, FS1’s Undisputed co-host Shannon Sharpe did the same with the American flag, declaring it to be merely a racist ‘piece of cloth’ that ‘nobody fights for.’
“’The flag, you see, to a lot of people, symbols, patriotism but what does that symbol actually mean? What does — what does – okay — you keep telling me that the flag means so much and it’s opportunity and freedom and liberty. Okay. Can you honestly say that everybody in America has freedom and liberties and opportunity, ’ Sharpe wondered to co-host Skip Bayless.
“Bayless replied ‘no, ’ so Sharpe then noted that inequalities should be address. Fair enough.
“But Sharpe went further by showing his disdain for this country, the flag, and Francis Scott Key’s Star-Spangled Banner (depicting the scene in Baltimore during the War of 1812) [emphasis mine]:
“‘And stop trying to sweep it under the rug. But, see, as long as you paint that narrative, oh, it’s the Anthem, I can’t — no — anybody that does something to the Anthem — well, we know what the anthem was originally written for and who it was written by, okay? The flag, okay? We understand what the flag? What does it represent? When did this narrative come to be that the military and the police own the flag and only them? I can go buy a flag and I can hang it up in my backyard. We need to stop this, Skip. We need to — the flag is a piece of cloth and nobody fights for a piece of cloth.'â€

FS1 MLB Hosts
Just appalled by the fact that they would even consider Alex Rodriguez to be on their broadcast. Normally I would watch and listen to what they had to say, but upon seeing Rodriguez, being disgusted, I immediately changed the channel. Why would they consider someone who has tarnished the game so much, be asked to participate is beyond me. Another thoughtless and classless move by FS1. I hope they get enough complaints to realize how ignorant and offensive it is to have him on any show, let alone an ALCS game.

You are right. I’m sick of listening to Rodriquez obvious praise for his east coast MLB teams during playoffs. The whole team is biased. Teams other than vintage Yankees, Red Sox, etc don’t stand a chance unless the perform a miracle play or comeback.
Your broadcaster for the Dback/Red game last night were awful. They were so busy talking about their all star games, high school team mates and former players they didn't announce the game! How many times do we need to hear there were 3 players from their high school. They talked about former player with out telling us who they played for or when. If you were new to baseball it would mean nothing. The Dback changed pitcher and it was into the inning before they said oh they changed pitcher. We wouldn't have known who it was if they hadn't scrolled his name across the screen. I don't need a lesson on the difference between ash and maple bats. Tell about the game. So thankful we don't have them announcing every game, I would stop following baseball.
why is fox sports soccer trying to emulate NBCSn with a British woman host. if you are going to do that use Kate Markgraf or one of the other female soccer analyst. I turn off the pre-game and half time now.
please have Joe Buckget a shave and get Jay Glazer back to MMA
The announcers for the Nova vs Butler game were so One sided it was sick. They kept checking the clock towards the end as they do in all close games of this caliber. They accused the clock keeper of cheating because he was a Butler fan. He may have got into the game a little to much watching but to accuse him of cheating like Donny Marshall did is a crime. I know this man and is above Donnys Conneticut standards. He has great love for his former foes and none for mid major Butler.
This WHOLE fox sports coverage has been absolutely terrible! I thought announcers were to REPORT FACTS and opinions in a NON-biased manner. The stand up for cancer coverage in which the Royals players were completely left out is tactless! Then all the coverage with should the Royals retaliate?!?!? Are they condoning unsafe behaviors in MLB? The Royals have been called "coc@roaches" compared to the "Whack a Mole" game, "pesky" I personally would LOVE to see ANY other network carry MLB. Fox Sports obviously can not manage a non-biased professional broadcast!
I had to change the K to an @ sign above because you're not allowed to comment with the word coc@ in it...yet the announcers called the Royals players that!
