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. ... https://archive.ph/AfXbq https://archive.ph/AfXbq ... reminds me of corey doctorow's use of the term enshittification.
