For teens and adults but for younger kids they do report everything that happens to sports players, inclueding drugs, killings, and some gambling, but I do think it is really great!

What Parents Need to Know
About ESPN
Parents need to know that this comprehensive sports site isn't really geared toward kids, but there's not much here that's inappropriate for them. Sports fans must be 13 years old to become a member, giving them access to safe forums and other "MyESPN" features, like personal profiles, blogs, and friends lists. Members only have to give their first name and a parent's email address. Even though most of the content is straightforward stats, analysis, and just plain fun, sometimes the sporting world's underbelly shows a more serious side (doping, racism, gambling) that requires a parent's -- not a message board's -- explanation and guidance.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why athletes are idolized in our culture. What do athletes do that should be praised? Criticized? On a lighter note, how can young sports fans use the information on ESPN to learn math (check out the stats), geography (team locations), or history?

I don't think so!
This site is very mature for young children. There are some videos for hard-hits and tackles. They sometimes has reports on issues involving drugs, drinking, and language. I would supervise your child while there on this site if they are below 10 years of age.
