NFT: Anyone subscribe to The Athletic?

It's pretty good. They have a lot of content and some very good writers across a variety of teams/specialties like Dane Brugler and Ken Rosenthal.

Thanks man.

It was like $30 for the entire year and honestly was so worth it. There’s a ton of content, much of which I don’t read, but enough about my teams I find very worthy it.

Also, their app is a very good user experience. Clean, easy to read, sorted by the content you want. Lots of great additional features like daily/weekly email newsletters, score and game alerts, etc. For the few dollars a month, even without promos, I’d highly recommend.

NHL, NCAAF, NCAAB and MLB coverage are all deep and excellent. They're upping their game with NFL and NBA lately too.

I don’t understand paying for it. I have never felt out of the loop on any team I follow, if anything I probably could do with less content.

if you want to cancel.

here is a referral code in case you sign up -

and got lots of encouragement. Signed up and really glad I did.

If you are a Ranger fan as well, Rick Carpiniello is worth it alone. Excellent writing across the board.

Oscar -- the quality is such that I find I am reading less of the other outlets.

it's not quantity - it's quality.

plus, no ads.

covering the falcons beat for the Athletic. Definitely worth it.

It's really hard to find good soccer coverage from U.S. sports media.

for a long time, couldn't even bring myself to ever pay for porn on the internet, I sure as shit wasn't going to pay for sports writing, but I broke down signed up this fall, the hockey content is worth it alone.

just a high quality product, I don't regret it

I thought you were going to 'fess you starting paying for porn, and it was totally worth it.

Very disappointed.

I still wouldn't pay for porn.

slogan, "I still wouldn't pay for porn, but I'd pay to read the Athletic"

or at least a testimonial.

I do - it's pretty cheap. I like it, a lot of quality articles without the bullshit ads, popups and other distracting stuff playing in the background constantly.
