I subscribed to them early on, then in 2022ish, they became a woke arse rag and I quit. Their latest stunt misreporting and misrepresenting the CSC’s investigation into a player at LSU furthers their pattern. They misrepresented via their social media post containing their article, which was headlined by a photo of an LSU Football helmet when zero of the investigation involved the football program. They sacrificed the truth for clicks. This is tantamount to what much of the legacy media does in politics today.
So why are they like they are, which is piss poor IMO? Just look who owns them; The NY Times and that likely explains a lot of it.

They were a joke during the Will Wade FBI stuff reporting complete falsehoods and ignored the stuff with bill self etc.
I cancelled my subscription then and didn’t think twice about that dumb rag.
The nerd ken rosenthal loves to sniff his own farts on that app

They had solid long form articles for awhile. The thing Sports Illustrated and Inside Sports magazine used to excel at. It was a breath of fresh air and worth the subscription cost. They went more clickbait the last few years but do occasionally have a solid writeup.

They are political activists posing as sports writers.

Exactly, vis-a-vis their daddy The NY Times.

Seriously? Is that what you're going to go with?
Do you spend your whole day -- and whole life -- putting a political spin on everything, including sports & games? Your life must be miserable these days with all that's happening.
If The Athletic writes a favorable story about a black athlete, does that make it a "woke publication"? Sounds like it, from the way some people here are responding.
Stop and smell the roses, man. Enjoy the games. Celebrate the success the Tigers are enjoying. Quit trying to drag everything down to an us-versus-them hate fest.

Who the frick said anything about skin color?? Find that rose you’re talking about and sniff real hard.

I think that is a question better addressed to The Athletic and The NY Times.

Meh. You have to take the good with the bad, unless you're under the false impression that your favorite news sources never clickbait.

The Athletic began to suck when the NYT bought it. Their reporter begging Australian Open players to say something negative about the US was typical fare.

I feel like we can all agree that the football helmet misrepresented the facts they actually reported on in the story.
But, what makes a publication "woke"?
First, "tantamount"? Are you so egregiously offended, sir? Also, this is typical of new/digital media coverage of politics.

But I damn sure won’t pay for clickbait.

You wouldn’t have the gumption to say that to my face. I love to splat snowflakes like you

Truth. Woke leftist journalism loves to hide behind legit sounding names, The Business Insider is another.

And not to mention pretending Duke didn't by Zion's Mom a million dollar home in Durham that everyone - and I mean everyone - knew they did, while not stop carpet bombing WW for doing a pittance in comparison.

I saw where an Excuse Me Miss site flat out stated it was Kiffin and the football program being investigated by the CSC. I guess those buffoons will say anything to deflect attention away from the trouble they are in.
