Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

And everyone is aghast.

Pablo Torre Finds Out

And you, PTFO is part of The Athletic.

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

And right now, The Athletic is the sports department of The New York Times.

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

Can we agree on that?

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

Yeah, that is accurate.

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

And that The New York Times got rid of their sports section until they purchased The Athletic.

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

For like half a billion dollars.

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

So whatever the price is, The New York Times sports section is The Athletic.

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

They've outsourced it entirely.

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

It's just that people were aghast about The Washington Post and saying, and Jeff Passan did a tweet saying this is, he's a goon or a corporate goon, or there was some tweet that he had about Jeff Bezos.

that how can anyone do this?

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

You're so rich that you own something.

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

How could you run it like a business?

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

And people were saying the Washington Post Sports is simply the greatest sports page ever.

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

Well, if it were true, and if it got support by subscribers or online support, there would have been a business reason not to cut.

Pablo Torre Finds Out

the sports section.

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

Obviously, it's not carrying its weight, and to me, I found it to be a non-story.

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

It's a very lazy take to me, Pablo, because the people... If you're talking about the people who made up the department, is it possible that the people can find another avenue for their talent?

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

Another way to continue to be journalists?

Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Sporting Class: All the President's Grizzly Men

You're saying that journalism is going away because the Washington Post sports section is going away.
