Personally, I never had a subscription to the actual physical magazine, but I stopped visiting their page altogether when Peter King decided after 20ish years of having no problem saying Redskins, he was all of the sudden "woke". How fucking convenient. He is the worst kind of coward. Waits until it's a thing, then all of the sudden wants to pretend that he is a Native American activist.
Side note - Being a writer/columnist seems like an awful job. Not because the work sucks, but the threat of being laid off would be terrible. There are a million ways to get your sports nowadays, but it's not possible to have a million successful companies to pay the writers.

I still sub to the magazine but only because when my sub runs out they send mailers offering 1/2 year subs for super cheap, like 20/30 a year. Good bathroom reading material for me.
Obviously they're super hurting if they laid off that many people. And yeah def. a dick move. It's the state of print media nowadays though.
