OT: RIP SI

[KittiesKorner]

Woke nonsense backfires again. Hate to see it

Not really

 

[DanielCCSBears]

That's a lot of "failed journalists"

So sad to see this iconic magazine fail. Dr. Z's NFL columns were the best in the business. Z had fantastic stories Butkus Payton Sayers etc.

It was far and away the magazine of my childhood.

Mass layoffs hit Sports Illustrated staff

The storied publication drew headlines last fall after reports surfaced that it appeared to have published AI-generated stories, photos and authors.

Kevin Clancy on Instagram: "Sports Illustrated sent a mass email firing ALL OF THEIR EMPLOYEES. RIP to the greatest magazine ever. From iconic covers to SI for Kids to the Swimsuit Issue, Sports Illustrated was an American institution"

Sports Illustrated was falling a long time before 'woke"

Wonder what will happen to Peter King and MMQB.

He left SI years ago.

Some people may be into the larger sized women but it's a major change from the Cindy Crawford and Tyra Banks days.

Gross.

Unless it’s after downing a bottle of triple sec.

I thought you were joking but they actually did have those covers

The Martha stewart one was super hard to get actually. My wife is a big fan. She's got a copy somewhere in plastic. They are selling on ebay for 200 -300 bux

Damn. Just got my boys into SI kids and they were enjoying it.

 

[wonky73]

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.

MOM! Don't come in my room I'm reading sports illustrated.

Martha Stewart is a good thing.

In her youth, not bad at all.







She is in her 80's now, so it's not fair to judge her by how she looks today.

I looked up the SI swimsuit and oh my lord, why would they do that? Still not bad for 80.

Wtf is actually “ woke”

 

[Unannounced Fart]

When I was a kid, I had a SI subscription and always got so excited when the new issue was due to hit the mailbox... especially the swimsuit edition.

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

Wtf is actually “ woke”

Inclusive bullshit. Cancel culture. Etc.i think I used the wrong word, but that’s my point.
