The Times' sports journalism is/was the ish.

It was basically the best reporting you could find on sports, which i guess makes sense.

One of the things i liked about it was that it was actually detached, somewhat objective -- the Athletic has said they are PR for the teams they cover -- that's not me saying it, that's them.

Whenever i stumble on an Athletic article, i'll be reading it and then be like...wait, this sucks, this must be from the Athletic, then maybe grudingly finish it.

If i was a paying subscriber i'd be unhappy about this.

sports is not just sports. welp.
