To-do list:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests :
Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)
Requested articles (Association football women)
Requested articles (Motor sports)
Requested articles (Estonian sportspeople)
Assess : newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status.
Cleanup :
* Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state)
* Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.)
* Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing.
* Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."
Expand : Professional sports (crucial article explaining the salaried undertaking of sports)
* Sport industry (currently a sub-stub)
Photo : for pages listed in Category:Wikipedia requested images of sports and games and sub-categories.
Stubs : work on articles in Category:Sports stubs
Update : List of world sports championships
Other :
- Translate the page of sport in each country from corresponding article in other language Wikipedia to English Wikipedia which was marked in red.
- Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project

Recent section on the fan's $10 million lawsuit

See WP:NOTNEWS. If anything, this section on this recent event should be moved to History of ESPN. By devoting an entire section to this one recent story without including all the other controversies makes this page heavily slanted to recent news. Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:24, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kraft and his dance.

I am absolutely discussed by your ridicule of Kraft's dancing. He was being playful but he was being described as having a "stroke". I work with stroke patients on a daily basis. I don't care about Kraft but I think your comments reguarding "stroking out" were insensitive and uninformed. Go spend some time with Ray Rice. You are all goof balls. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100E:B106:8A90:EC68:7DBA:54FE:407B (talk) 14:33, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you mean "disgusted"?Wschart (talk) 13:10, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar improvement

In the 3rd paragraph, the verb tense that should be used is 'owns', as in 'ESPN owns a 20% interest in', not 'owning'.108.217.190.154 (talk) 22:22, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
