Watching ESPN on Sling. So a Sling issue?
Possibly. Sling had lots of issues when they first launched (2015) and I learned quickly to use the authentication of other apps, such as ESPN. It used to be nearly required, but Sling has improved vastly over the years. Still, it's a good thing to have in reserve. I'd suggest configuring the ESPN app to use Sling. Keep in mind that if you also use ESPN+ that's a different configuration process, though the process looks exactly the same.
It may not be Sling, but actually the network that's at issue. I'm not saying your network is the issue, but the ISP or servers that are providing the stream could have issues.
If it's anything other than your network or your ISP, then switching apps (from Sling to ESPN) may temporarily resolve it, as the stream to the ESPN app is probably not the same one that provides the stream to your Sling app.
If you prefer to watch via Sling, then do that. But having the ESPN app authenticated for a backup method may get you through these kind of things.
