Sports Illustrated
Reviews and Complaints

Today September 18, 2023 I received a copy of Sports Illustrated in the mail. I never ordered this magazine. I contacted Sports Illustrated customer service and they stated that Sub Baba

Pro sent this magazine to me without notifying me in any way. I feel that this is a scam. I called the phone number for Sub Baba Pro given to me by Sports Illustrated customer service and got a recording which stated their hours were 8AM until 8PM. The time of my call was at 6:30PM, yet they were closed. The recording wanted my name, phone number and email address. Therefore I feel they are phishing for my information. Sub Baba Pro’s phone number is [protected].

I did not receive my swimsuit issue this year or last year. I would like my swimsuit issue for this year. I want to know why I am not receiving the swimsuit issue when I am paying for it

I just want to let you know I will not be renewing my subscription. Your wokeness atitude with the swimsuit issue and having a transgender representing a "woman" is the last straw in a lefting magazine for me !

My family has been subscribing to SI almost continually since inception. I still have the first issue under plastic. My complaint is that, while recognizing the publishing challenge of attracting and keeping the last couple of generations of non-reading numb skulls, SI has abandoned any semblance of proving coverage, commentary and analysis of current and major sporting events in football, basketball, baseball and the rest. Instead we get drivel, obscure topics, woke inspired articles that very likely NO ONE, including the last twenty years of hopeful readers, are looking at. Case in point: the latest issue with feature articles on — Gamers want to be Athletes, G League, Mickey Mantle baseball card, and one about an Azerbaijan reporter. Really? This is mostly People Magazine stuff, written better. How about coverage on the last big golf tournament where Rahm was disqualified? How about a mid-season report on baseball and the pitcher "sticky stuff" issue? How about the latest news on star player movement in the NFL? How about the upcoming crisis in Japan, re - the Olympics? What's going on? The Verducci article about the scout was at least good writing. SI has now taken the last move possible: from irrelevant to crap. I'm done.

One of your writers, Nathan Atkins, is tweeting misogynistic and sexist remarks about the female students attending the University of Notre Dame. He actually characterized the physical appearance of the "girls" who attend Notre Dame as "mostly mediocre looking". He deleted the tweet after reading the hundreds of negative comments from readers on social media. He deleted the tweet without an apology.

My wife has been buying me the SI desk calendar for many years - I used to love it! Here it is the ninth calendar month & I am disgusted with your calendar! Last year you guys started showing FAT girls in bikinis! WTF is up with that? If I wanted to look at chubby girls, I would go to the nearest beach. I guess you guys are going along with some Politically Correct idea that chunky girls should be on calendars too. No they should not! Overweight people are unhealthy but you guys want to show their fat while wearing bikinis. Guess what, I have told my wife not to bother buying me the SI desk calendar anymore. I'll just go to the nearest swimming pool, lake or beach & see all the fat girls I want...

Hello, I have a a major complaint! I never ordered Sports Illustrated and and keep getting it in the mail! I am not paying for it. They can keep sending it, but it will not be paid for! I don't kow what is going on, but it better stop. I will take further action if it is not stopped. Thank you.

I have tried contacting Customer Service, but their website will not allow you to do so. It is very sneaky.

First it began with credit card charges i did not even sign up for, after six months not noticing I questioned these charges. Not only was i signed up unwillingly i was not even receiving product. Got charges disputed but when i called sports illustrated to cancel whoever was on my account, they got angry with me when i told them i don't have an account i just have the card number. She began cutting me off and would not let me speak. Finally telling her the card number she bluntly said "canceled account" and hung up on me. Just glad i got the card off whoever was using my account. But TERRIBLE communication skills and horrible personality. Don't remember her name because she mumbled it but she had an non us accent.

I ordered the Eagles Super Bowl commemorative pack in February, the website said to allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. After 6 weeks I called and was told 6 to 12 weeks because of back orders and to call back at the end of 12 weeks! At the end of 12 I'm told the book was mailed but to allow 3 weeks for delivery. I asked for a tracking number but they said they don't have those. So I'm back to waiting. Asked about the jacket and football that was supposed to also be shipped and told that would be 12 to 16 weeks! Here it is in July and the football and book were delivered a month and a half apart... but no jacket. When I called about the jacket I was told I had to wait another week before I can call and claim the jacket wasn't received. They have such an archaic system that doesn't allow you to get email notifications to know when it ships or to track and make sure you're home so nobody steals your stuff the post office leaves at your door. I'm so disappointed that a well established company is so far behind in their technology.

I have experienced SI magazine delivery problems recently. I have not received 2 weekly SI magazines recently. The last one involved the issue dated 6/5/17. My complaints are as follows:

• Not receiving the mailed SI magazine twice within 4 weeks. The two times were mid-May and the 6/5/17 issue. I only had minimal mailing problems until recently. I look forward to receiving this magazine and I read it cover-to-cover. Please ensure the magazine is delivered to my house.
• Regarding the 6/5/17 magazine, I did not receive this magazine in the mail. The SI customer rep only extended my subscription for 2 weeks. I had to buy from Barnes & Noble for $5.40. However, since my subscription price is $0.78 per magazine, the 2 week subscription extension value of $1.56 ($0.78 times 2 issues) does not cover the $5.40 that I paid. To fully cover my $5.40 cost, my subscription should be extended 7 weeks, and not 2 weeks.
• Yesterday, I called to complain about not receiving an issue for 6/12/17. I was informed by the SI customer rep that SI did not produce a magazine dated 6/12/17. The 6/5/17 magazine did not say “Double Issue” and it was not any larger than normal. My subscription is for a weekly magazine; however, SI apparently decides when it feels like producing a magazine and not informing the customer. I have to believe than thousands of SI customers complained about this issue.

I have been a long time subscriber. I strongly prefer the printed magazine. I am beginning to have doubts about SI since the magazine is shrinking in size, delivery problems, etc. At a minimum, please extend my subscription an additional 5 weeks (see the 2nd bullet point) to cover the Barnes & Noble replacement cost, ensure the magazine is delivered to my home and issue a weekly magazine unless a double magazine is clearly identified and magazine content exceeds 120 pages.

On March 12, 2009, an unauthorized withdrawal in the amount of $110.88 was made on our checking account. We have never had contact with TWX Sports Illustrated, never ordered anything through them, nor received any merchandise from them. When we tried to contact the company on April 9, 2009, after seeing the entry on our bank statement, we were put into an automated answering system that requested information that we could not provide since we've never received a statement, magazine, or any other information. This company just took funds out of our account. It is a total scam! We have just called the local authorities to report this ripoff.
