New York Times Buys The Athletic

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/new-york-times-buys-the-athletic-1235070738/?s=09

Many excellent Canadian hockey journalists have written for The Athletic, including Jonas Siegel.
This is great news for sports fans, I think?... guess it depends on how we look at the changes and upheavals the NYT has gone through in the last few years.

It makes sense in a lot of ways.  One of the most financially viable newspapers in the world buys the most viable sports journalism site in North America.

GAH! I thought that said 'the Atlantic'. Never mind. I cheerfully withdraw my previous snark.

Ahh.  That would have made sense.
