Sports Illustrated Went Woke, Now They've Gone Broke

Much of the staff of Sports Illustrated, and possibly all remaining writers and editors, received layoff notices Friday, which essentially could spell the end of a publication that for decades was the gold standard of sports journalism.

Was it the tranny cover, or the porky chick cover? Either way it doesn’t matter if the rag folds.

Print Magazines are almost dead. Tv Guide is only 3 weeks.

Every

[rlmorel]

LOL!

[Steely Tom]

I was pretty sure someone would get it.

[rlmorel]

If I am watching a movie that we rented, and they begin with the gratuitous homosexual character or plot, I just shut it off.

OMAR THE TENT MAKER WOULD HAVE TO SUPPLY THAT BIKINI.

You mean teenage boys don’t want to look at trannies?

[11th_VA]

Guess that tranny swimsuit edition did sell so well …

[bray]

Do you get extra Virtue points for bankrupting your company?

[Right Brother]

>>> The tranny women can look sexy and fool us all-fine<<<

Maybe you.

[Secret Agent Man]

Thank God. Up there with Disney deserving this.

[gnickgnack2]

Yeah, a lot of old folks on here.

[Steely Tom]

Ha ha, yeah. I guess so. Young once though.

Who thought a trannie in a swim suit would sell magazines?

Was it to sell magazines or to gain approval from the NY Times and boost their ESG score?

[Recovering_Democrat]

Such good news for the weekend.

[Falconspeed]

“Bye bye to a once great magazine.”

Yes. SI was great before 1990: rugged, cool and my parents always destroyed the swim suit issue before entering the house.

We watch a lot of British stuff, because they have been well written and in general haven’t had a lot of nasty stuff. But recently there have been gay story lines sort of woven into the plots, and even a couple where the main characters were gay. (The Long Call is an example.)

Sad.

[SamAdams76]

That “Told you” girl has been celebrating for a long time now!

[oldbill]

Sad, but like so many other institutions in a woke age and a dying country.

Sports Illustrated inits early years had some of the best writers and best coverage of the sports world.

Then the liberals took over.
