Are you in the US? The only thing I can think of is they do have different feeds for different countries, but I didn’t think they would block any of them. Here’s where I got the feeds. Do any of these feeds work for you in an RSS feed reader? http://www.espn.com/espn/news/story?page=rssinfo

Ok, since the issue was with RSS feeds and the ESPN News app uses the same basic code as my News Feed shortcut, I've uploaded a new v1.7 of the latter that attempts to check various things on the feed to make sure it's valid before trying to read articles from it. Can you please try that shortcut out with various feed URL's and see what results you you get?

Yes, the News Feed shortcut only displays the results unless its run through RoutineKit... but we need to figure out the issue you are having with the RSS feeds themselves first. Then once you have that working, you can run it from RoutineKit to have it read it to you.
