I still don’t have access to ESPN Unlimited, and I’ve gone from excited to angry to straight up demoralized. Despite announcing on its own website that the app would be free for people who pay for ESPN through their cable provider, everyone who subscribes to YouTube TV still doesn’t have access.

Good news, though, everyone involved thinks it’ll be ready before SummerSlam, which is on August 1st.
