The site announced internally Monday that it would be laying off almost 20 writers — approximately 4 percent of the staff — and reassigning 20 others to different beats, according to multiple reports. “Welp, some personal news: The Athletic has let me go as part of a small wave of layoffs. But hell, it’s been a good run, 41 years-plus of sports journalism, some of it damned good. I’m sad I don’t get to walk away on my own terms, but that doesn’t often happen. So…,”, “Just been informed that my writing career has hit unrestricted free agency as a June 12th cap casualty. :/”
“Wanted everyone to know that today is my last day at The Athletic, sports business is being eliminated as part of the layoffs today. For the first time in my professional life I am a free agent, open to opportunities inside journalism and out,”The New York Times is reorganizing The Athletic, the sports subscription site it acquired last year, in a move that includes some layoffs.
