The country of Israel is missing from at least part of ESPN’s website, while Palestine is included throughout, raising the eyebrows of some sports fans, since Israel is an existing country and Palestine is not.

Israel is not included among countries in part of ESPN's TV listings, while "Palestine" is.

The portion where Israel is missing is in the TV-listing section of ESPNAmerica.com.

A drop-down menu at the top right of the page has countries listed in alphabetical order. On the list are Hungary, Iceland, Iran and Ireland, immediately followed by Italy, Jordan and Kazakhstan.

Though Israel should appear between Ireland and Italy, it’s not found anywhere on the list, though Palestine is included, between Oman and Poland.

Despite Israel’s absence from that portion of ESPN’s site, the country is found in other places where it’s included in other drop-down menus,including here.

Israel also appears on ESPN’s contact page, in a long list of countries.

Ironically, in that contact-page list, ESPN lists “Palestinian Territories,” and not “Palestine” as it does elsewhere on the site.

A spokeswoman for ESPN told WND she was looking into the issue.

Meanwhile, some online messageboards have been discussing the situation.

One commenter wrote: “I emailed a complaint with a few angry words. I’m sure they will get right on it. But, seriously, this is pathetic on their part.”

    This is because Israel is the center (belly button) of the world. The bloated lot of the wicked can't see it (to contemplate), because the wicked are too fat in their own conceit to observe it. God sees Israel even though certain men choose to be blinded unto their demise.

    It's ESPN---why is anyone surprised?

    Well add ESPN to the list of media outlets controlled by immoral heathens. I'm in no way surprised. It's not entirely their fault, except for the fact they are peddling idols in the form of atheletes and are in love with money, but we should pray for them and everyone who are lost. They will do the bidding of the god of the air because they are deceived, blind, and lost.

    I have been following you guys for sometime. Most of the articles in here border on science fiction. I am sure if you wrote better articles, you will not be working for Joseph!

    was it yesterday or the day before...when i was appalled to read that the
    president of the us said that "one thing michelle allows me to do is watch
    espn"....pathetic...evidently the man doesn't know who he is much less what he's
    suppose to be doing

    What ever you do DON'T FORGET ISRAEL ESPN!!! Genesis 12:3 is a warning that has applied to all of history! PROOF>The Exact Date Israel Became A Nation Is Easily Calculated From The Scriptures Using Ezekiel 4:4-8 & Leviticus 26:18,21,24+28. Take The Penalty(390>Israel's Punishment + 40>Judah's Punishment=430 Years, Subtract 70 Years, Since These Were The Years Already Served By Israel While In Babylonian Captivity. Total Then = 360 Years. Multiply 360 Times Seven (As We Are Instructed To Do Repeatedly Here In Leviticus), Remember Our Total Is Now 2,520 Years Of Punishment Remaining For Israel. Now Add The 2,520 Years To The Year & The Month Of Nisan In Which Israel's Babylonian Captivity By King Cyrus Ended(Nehemiah 2:1), Which Is Our Point Of Reference From The Bible. Wow, This Will Bring Us To Hebrew Year 5708 & The Exact Date Israel Became A Nation! But This Means Little To Westerners Who Go By The Gregorian Calendar. Hey. This Date Is May 14th 1948! The G-d of Is-rael=Is-real !!!

    Is this really a surprise? I left ESPN back when they attacked Bocephus over an innocent comment. (even though he was correct)
    I'll continue to go elsewhere for my information.

    BHO and SOROS setup the corporation that is now Palestine. The Deal with the CFR's furniture salesman Netanyahu is to move ahead to bulldoze another Israeli settlement using Palestinian contractors in the dead of night using IDF enforcement against Jews as done in Gaza.

    HEY...ESPN....WE STAND WITH ISRAEL!!! GOT IT!!!
