This eat the rich at all costs stuff drives me nuts, especially in the context of a struggling but incredibly important for democracy industry (I know it's just sports, but the industry in general is vital).
Athletic isn't perfect, and they're definitely lacking around Flames' content, but they provide some really informative journalism, great prospect content, and, for those that are into it, excellent fantasy sports analysis and tools.

Great comment. the idea that they are pocketing massive profits from the Athletic is just false.
And all of this is rapidly going away. The media serves an important role on society including as a check and balance. It's all vanishing.
We will miss it at some point.
