For those of us who subscribe to The Athletic, Shannon Russell, who we all know goes a great job covering Xavier Basketball, posted on Facebook that she痴 been laid off. Apparently, they cut 8% of their staff and those remaining will be getting pay cuts. She was the only reason I paid for that subscription. Guess I値l be canceling that.

The Athletic
Golf is a relatively simple game, played by reasonably intelligent people, stupidly.

Now I feel bad that I never signed up. I heard often that it was well worth it. There must be some good news out there.........somewhere.

I paid for a year and with no sports did not sign up this summer but sports media is getting crushed. Very good articles by her and I get so mad thinking of things we are losing in this country that I love that were just enjoyable and not metric driven.

Well that is a bummer. I like her a lot. She can’t catch a break. I just subscribed a month ago. But I do have the a Colts and Pacers on the Athltic too. Wonder who will write articles for X?

Thinking maybe X should hire her to write content for them.

Anyone who is canceling know if they prorate the payment across the year or is it a one time payment we are stuck losing ?

Well, that's a real bummer. Have enjoyed her stuff and was so glad she found a spot, until now.
Hopefully she'll land somewhere good for her.
XU's Athletic Dept is looking for a video coordinator and also a marketing assistant....he went up late, and I was already up there.

That's too bad. Part of the reason I subscribe was to read her stuff. If they laid her off and kept Bowden I may cancel.
