Ehhh, there was plenty of that. You could avoid if you wanted to though, which is nice.

Sadly that appears to be coming to an end.
It was already happening and already probably hurting their bottom line. It's been discussed a lot on here the last couple of years because they had numerous writers deviate from their distinctive brand of pure-sports, no drama, no politics writing with a long of long form.
Of course, it's probably hard for a sports outlet to sustain that, because the woke prevalence in sports journalism is so high. So to get "names" you'll have to get them to commit to keeping it between the lines, which they won't, and then the outlet has to can them for politics or live with it. And the Athletic was doing the latter.

Brodie Miller brought up Orgeron not knowing about the BLM team march in almost every preseason article he wrote this past summer. He also distinctly praised hiring Jones because he was black. Other than Terrel and Holder with the Saints, Brodie was who I read the most. His stuff got more and more woke the more LSU lost.

This is not even close to being a true statement. All of their national writers have stances that lean or full out bend in that direction. I only keep my subscription for local coverage of my teams, but even some of that has been tinged with wokeness at various times.
