Go Woke, Go Broke: Sports Illustrated’s Entire Staff Told They are Getting Laid Off

It is a dark day for sports journalism.

The Arena Group alerted all Sports Illustrated staffers on Friday that their positions were being eliminated.

Richard Deitsch, a sports media reporter who left Sports Illustrated for the Athletic, posted on X the email that all employees received.

“Some employees will be terminated immediately, and paid in lieu of the applicable notice period under the [union contract],” the notice read. “Employees with a last working day of today will be contacted by the People team soon. Other employees will be expected to work through the end of the notice period, and will receive additional information shortly.”

The decision comes after the Authentic Brands Group, the licensing group that bought Sports Illustrated for $110 million from Meredith five years ago, terminated the agreement it holds with The Arena Group to publish the magazine in print and digital, per Front Office Sports.

The Sports Illustrated Union said it was calling upon Authentic to “ensure the continued publication of SI” in a statement following the announcement.

I want to, but they're not at checkout stands anymore to tempt me.
It used to be that people were quietly content to wait in grocery lines, they could catch up on the latest Elvis sighting, but now?
Fights. Impatience. Terror.
This is a solid theory I think.

Budweiser's about to go the same way.

I've been curious as to how everything with Budweiser would go since last April with Dylan's cans and the boycott, so I took a look....


It's kind of faint but the top graph of the stock price is over 5 years and the bottom is over one year.
This isn't directly correlated with sales of Bud Light so it only gives us one view.

But it did take a dip this week @cubby, maybe in response to the Planet Fitness brouhaha.
It started to really climb in November, maybe everybody started seeing those Clysedale Christmas commercials and forgot all about that fuss?
