So long, Sports Illustrated

[The TCU Football Jerk]

There's zero doubt the magazine took a very noticeable hard left turn (or whatever you want to call it) in the past decade. Seemed like every other article, if not more than that, in recent years was pushing an agenda as much as anything else, and I'm sure that hastened its demise.

I don't understand that strategy.

It started way before that. I gave up my subscription in the 90s because they were getting political.

I have to admit, I didn't know they were still printing a magazine.

Sports Illustrated lays off most of its staff, threatening iconic brand’s future

Much of the staff of Sports Illustrated, and possibly all remaining writers and editors, received layoff notices Friday, which could spell the end of a publication that for decades was the gold standard of sports journalism. The union of the staff tweeted Friday that it would continue to fight...

I’ve been a subscriber since my father gave me my first subscription in 1970. As the years have gone by I read SI less and less because of reasons stated above, but I just couldn’t give it up. Finally this past fall I elected not to renew. I will miss the magazine I grew up with, but not the one it had become.

I feel the same way about the local paper, NPR, national nightly news on TV, most movies, and KERA.

The feature that was related to this pic was a masterpiece of writing....It could have been applied to any college team, but since it was about TCU, it was even greater....

A great read!
