The Arena Group alerted all Sports Illustrated staffers on Friday that their positions were being eliminated.
Richard Deitsch, a sports media reporter who left for Sports Illustrated for the Athletic, posted the email that all employees received on X.
It noted, in part, that some employees would be “terminated immediately.”
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.
“Some employees will be terminated immediately, and paid in lieu of the applicable notice period under the [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 Arena Group missed a $2.8 million payment that breached the company’s Sports Illustrated licensing deal three weeks ago.

Yes, but all of the swimsuit models will be AI generated so as to ensure DIE compliance. This includes the morbidly obese, physically deformed, all genders, real and imagined, furries, fubuglies, and trans-species individuals.
Didn’t they publish trans models also???
You’re way better off than most.
I have found if you remove almost all tv time and read instead, the mind calms down and can think more clearly and deeply.
Just my .02
Why? They’ll just put another tranny on the cover.
I'd take looking at 'women of size' over looking at trannies any day of the week...
Back in the day (the Days of Dan Jenkins and Frank DeFord among other notables), SI was a good sports magazine. But sometime this century it became a political magazine, and they still haven’t realized that no one wants politics with their sports, hence its collapse. Hasta la vista!
A “woman of size” is still an actual XX woman. Might not particularly care for the specifics, but she’s at least the right sort of creature.
I fail to see how magazine publishing is even a thing anymore.
IMO it’s not any more for home consumption. But for some
things like travel, waiting rooms, etc. But even today the hand
held devices are always on and the carrier is talking or reading
the screen.
Whose gonna publish pics of Trannys in swimsuits now??????..........
Tranny and fatty on the cover, go under.
Since they went woke, they are going broke.
Freepers probably .
That went woke with dudes.
They can keep it.
Laz must be in mourning...................
Yep....the tranny as picture model stuff sealed that, IMO.
That's just not a saying. It is an economic law.
Is that real? (I honestly don’t know — haven’t looked at any Sports Illustrated for decades.)
Never mind — guess it is real. Wow.
