"The Athletic" - A consistent money loser

[RU-Kidding]

It looks like Rutgers athletic department hasn't been alone in operating in the red...

"Since The New York Times Co. acquired The Athletic for $550 million in January 2022, the site has had a total operating loss of more than $43 million, even as subscribers have more than doubled to 3.27 million over the same span." "The Athletic lost about $55 million in 2021 before the New York Times acquired the site. " It's never made a profit since it's inception.

Do they cover Duke Lacrosse? Asking for a Duke friend.

The Athletic is about to pay for itself, since the NYT cut its union sports department, in favor of sourcing to Athletic nonunion writers and editors.

as much as you guys want to bash it...the Athletic has, by far, the best sportswriter stable and most comprehensive content for sports.

It actually does . But nowhere as good as the old days of your local sports section or sports illustrated.

I didn’t care for the article yesterday but I like it and I only follow one sport, CFB. If you like other sports I’d assume it would be that much better. It doesn’t cost much either.

LOL. If they fit the NYT portfolio you know they're BS.

I was a member when they first started. I quit soon after. The Athletic is overpriced crap.

What year do you project that to happen?

Does Selena Roberts write for them? Last seen writing that even though the 3 players were innocent they deserved getting put through what happened.
