This is probably not for all or even many of you, but if you want to read sports news (just the text, not the images and ads and crap), you can go to https://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw?g ... s/1/Sports

It's got RussiaToday (it's in English), NYTimes, and ESPN sports feeds. It's also really good if you have to pay for your mobile data usage or are on a throttled connection.

I like the concept. Does it link to videos/ images in the story of you want to check them out?

It doesn't have links to the videos or images embedded in the article, but it does have a link to the full article at the top. It has regular links cited (as text) at the bottom.

E.G

According to Times[1], the pitcher was arrested for a DUI... blah blah blah

If you just want to stick it to ESPN and deny them ad revenue, I recommend Adblock Plus (computer) or the Adblock Plus Browser (Android, iOS).
