The entire staff of Sports Illustrated has just been laid off. The. Entire. Staff.
“Some employees will be terminated immediately,” the statement continued, “and paid in lieu of the applicable notice period under the [the union contract]. 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.”
You can kind of trace the downfall from 2020 with men in women’s swimsuits and ‘plus size’ models on its famous covers.
As Bonchie over at Red State says:
This is what happens when news outlets decide effecting societal change is more important than just giving their readers what they want. Sports Illustrated is a sports magazine. Instead of acting like one, the outlet’s editors and writers decided they’d rather cosplay as culture warriors. Men want news on football and baseball. They don’t want transgender models shoved into their faces and lectures about abortion.
There are other magazines, such as Scientific American, who are going the same way (please remember that they endorsed Joe Biden for President in 2020–their first endorsement in 175 years). Because they’ve lost their way and lost sight of their audience.
The only thing this illustrates is that woke eventually equals broke.
