The score would be a minus if this was allowed !! Very poor customer service... took a free trial for 2 days yet they still took 2 payments of £59.99 off the bank card given to allow the free trial and they cant refund us them both!! They are acknowledging they shouldn't have taken the money but cant do a full refund!! So please do not take out any subscription with these crooks! STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS.... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!

The articles are terrible, and some have been proven to be lies that ruined ruined careers of athletes. Their response is shadow fire writers who cause issues. You will find NO breaking news or insight here.

Continually devolving into embarrassment. They got rid of all the good beat writers to cut costs so the New York Times would finally buy them. One NFL writer called child abuse "spunky." And the support team they have with Zendesk is an absolute joke. No answers. No replies. Just runaround. There's so much free sports content, don't waste your money.

Reading the articles in the Athletic is like being given a lecture by the most boring school teacher we can remember. The articles never stop each piece reminds me of an insomniacs sleeping pill, yes it is guaranteed to send you to sleep whilst reading it. The Athletic is a saddos buzz

I would rate a zero I could! I signed up for a trial period. Never subscribed, I have no account with my information. I was charged $71.99 and I don't have a subscription. I think they're running a scam by telling me to to go my account which doesn't exist and cancel my subscription that I don't have! Then tells me to read the refund policy. Like come on I'm not dumb. They're probably doing this alot and that's why there's no refunds. Last I checked you give a service and get paid. Not get paid and give me nothing in return. Sorry you picked the right one. I've filed a complaint with the platform the set up the trial with and they're investigating this. Next is the BBB and Consumer Protection. This is fraudulent and it will stop. I also emailed Google pay to let them know what these scammers are doing!

Despite cancelling my subscription they have continued billing me for three months. There is no way of contacting them besides an online form where you simply get an automated response. They are stealing from me and I want my money back

My ability to post comments was taken away due to someone else flagging me for perceived abuse. I have always used logical commentary with ZERO profanity. I asked customer service to provide me the comment I posted for the reason for the ban. ZERO RESPONSE. In effect, I was canceled by a liberal media outlet without a fair review. It’s a shame really, but I’ll never have anything to do with the Athletic moving forward.

Raising prices with zero notice/intimation and no possibility of a refund. There's also no hope to hear from a person here. Their customer service is automated
