Damn, i havent exactly consumed a lot of SI content but still remember seeing the magazines coming in to our house as a kid. Might have swiped a swimsuit edition or 2 in my day, for research.

Martha Stewart is a good thing.

I recall one issue had Martha Stewart and then another had a trans....

Not sure people were rushing to go pick those up.
Ah, that’s why I’m seeing all the “go woke go broke” tweets.

Sad, think every sports fan of a certain age used to love that magazine back in the day

It really sucks seeing people lose their jobs because the higher ups were incompetent. The higher ups at the Arena Group tried to sneak in AI generated articles and A.I. 'reporters' on the SI website to generate additional ad revenue, got caught, and fired. Now the people that actually own S.I. (Authentic Brands Group) decided to terminate their rights to publish using the S.I. brand in lieu of hiring another company to run it. So the CEO and the other execs who got fired in December ended up ensuring the firing of everybody else. Awful.

I'm surprised they lasted this long. TBH

Are they just shutting down the magazine?

Does it stay online?

Is Dov Kleiman not the dumbest name you have heard?
