David Aldridge leaving TNT for The Athletic

[tremonthustler1]

People skim more than read. I dont think the Athletic is going to survive

There’s less stuff to skim through. All that’ll be left for free reading is Fansided

Good. I hated dis corny mf

 

[UpAndComing]

I was like Wait Why???

But when he said "No more planes", I totally understand

 

[FAH1223]

He’s winding down his retirement that’s all

I've met DA before, he said the travel takes its toll

It's definitely rough at times and l travel 75-85% of the year. But I'm home on weekends

I feel like a lot of random sports business got a strange influx of money recently. The Athletic/Puma etc. Wonder if we know who or what is behind some of these investments .

I couldn't see myself signing up for a subscription based sports service

there's a lot of clickbait trash media out there, The Athletic is trying to give an alternative to that

 

[daboywonder2002]

It's good to see other alternatives besides Espn and Fox sports. Bleacher report, Athletic, Yardbarker, Blacksportsonline(before they talked about just sports and not trying to be the shaderoom)

Going to miss his coverage on tv, The Athletic going all the way with these names

 

[daboywonder2002]

Woj started this. he showed u don't need a tv presence to be successful. Actually Bill Simmons too. Social media and radio are great alternatives. Social media has brought back journalism and writing.

 

[JetFueledThoughts]

Same wonder if it will be popular like Spotify/netflix

I dunno if I see it. End of the day this is still just content. There’s so much sports content out there for free, that I can’t see Athletic rising so quickly like a Netflix.

We know what theyre trying to do, but the power of the click bait title is number one.
