Looks like the end for Sports Illustrated

[VideoEagle]

The company that publishes SI fired most of the staff this afternoon. It's still to be determined if they are laying off everyone or not. I'd say it's the end for sure, but SI has a complicated ownership and publishing arrangement which makes it possible someone else will take over the publishing.

No loss

Loved it as a kid.

Sad to hear but they brought it on theirselves.

Gotta like the chicken 💩 eyeroll. Most likely a woke fan of places like SI that stop focusing on what they were once good at, and tried to get into the social influence game. Doesn't always work out well when you lose sight of who your core audience is.

Interesting take, but ignores the fact that most of the print media is gone including newspapers and magazines.  Not because of the social influence game but because few read anymore and even fewer will pay for the privilege.

This is the biggest reason I think. They will have to move to a completely online platform.

lmao. Literally every newspaper and magazine has gone under in the last 20 years but yeah, it was "social influence gaming" that brought down SI. It's always easier to just scream wokeness rather than learn literally anything I guess.

I think it was adding fat chicks in bikinis. Looking, briefly, at Ashley Graham.

Seeing Sports Illustrated die is a lot like watching Old Yeller get shot. It was once a beloved mainstay of our sports culture as it reviewed the past weeks biggest events, previewed the upcoming, and made superstars of those that graced its cover. Unfortunately, like Old Yeller, it was infected with a horrible virus (wokeism, not hydrophobia) that made it toxic and it needed to be put out of its misery.

A message to Sports Illustrated.

This is a chunk of marble carved and painted to look like an apple.

It may be a beautiful piece of art, and look incredibly like an apple, but all the sad misdirected ideology in the world cannot turn it into an actual apple. It is a piece of stone.

What if it were just a cis dude in a swimsuit on the cover? Would that be woke or would you be mad for a different reason? 

 

Also, this is the world you create for cis women when you constantly live in a state of hysteria over what genitals people have between their legs.

What is that?  This is just a made up term.

The comment is italics is comedy gold.  The Left refuses/can't even define what a woman is anymore.  They are so delusional, I don't see how any woman could vote for them.

As far as the CNN article, it is too bad the state school board official did that, as social media was not the appropriate means at all, but that is the world that the woke left has created.

Hell yeah, brother. I didn’t take these viagra to masturbate to just any big-boned gal off the last trolley in town. Hey Alexis - open HornPub / Big Naturals and dim the oil lamps. I’m taking a model T to jizzizzippi!

This poor teen girl never had one and a school board member harassed her simply because she was good. Enjoy the world you've created where you're in constant fear about what's between someone's legs. Creep.

It's horribly unfortunate that you have that situation, but there are probably better places than college forums to discuss the vices that are manifested from your "constant fear about what's between someone's legs". Brainwashing and mental manipulation by TikTok and other social media have reportedly been brutal to many other fragile and vulnerable teen girls in addition to yourself. There are legitimate recognized crisis support services that can offer therapy (many free) and can even defuse manifestations caused by programming to a hate induced woke ideology.

We are a community here and hopefully posters can direct you towards helpful resources.

God Bless and Best Wishes.

Your kind are the only ones pushing for genital checks on underaged athletes. Creep.

See, this is where you got off on the wrong foot.  I'm not sure who the "you" is you are referring to, but people didn't feel the need to question a person's gender until the Democrats starting the push to allow boys that weren't any good at their sport to dress up as girls so as to participate in their sport successfully.  Prior to that, the only time in my life that I have questioned a person's gender when competing in sports was the old East German "women's" Olympic teams.

East German athletes then:

Now:

[Coffee and TV]

Not being transphobic = decades of scientific literature.

Being transphobic = fake cowboy memes and pictures of masculine east german athletes.

Some of the best advice my grandparents ever gave me was to never stop learning after school was over with, and you guys are proof of how hateful and close-minded one can get when you don't follow that advice.
