The rumor for a while had been late 2010, then it moved up to February, then suddenly it was today. Curious to see what happens to their Redskins beat reporter Ryan O'Halloran. He's great Dirtbag59 12-31-2009, 05:49 PM Getting rid of the sports section. Thats a death wish for any newspaper. The equivalent in business of cutting advertising cost to save money.

As we all know most guys will read the paper for 2-3 things. Front Page for latest news. Sports Comics.... ;) The Post has the Metro so us guys might actually read that as well for local news. Now unles your into business or stocks then you might actually read 3/4th of the paper. It sounds like they are dooming themselves if you ask me. Cut sports and you cut a large majority of male readers. SmootSmack 12-31-2009, 06:45 PM They've already cut their weekend editions. Rumor is they will completely shut down in 2010 and be online only. Dirtbag59 12-31-2009, 06:46 PM The Post has the Metro so us guys might actually read that as well for local news.

GusFrerotte 12-31-2009, 08:48 PM Ann Arbor did that with their newspaper a few years back. Totally cut the print to go online. It is sad, but they can't compete with the WP.
