I think he's talking about this: https://theathletic.com/

It's some digital-only equivalent to Sports Illustrated, I think.

Thank you for replying to my question.
I have no comment as I have never read it and am unlikely to. Thank you again for informing me.

Seriously, this is a Sci-Fi board. When was there ever an implication that we (in general) were into sports? This whole topic seems super out of place.

I am sure sports is more popular than some of the more obscure political stuff we discussed.
Why would i assume that no users are into sports?
Seriously, this is a Sci-Fi board.

That talks more politics than sci fi...

There are 19000ish posts on the Sci-Fi and Fantasy board, and another 19000ish on the Video Reviews board. There's 15000ish on the news board. Even if we're generous and say a quarter drift into politics, there's still about a 4000 post lead on science fiction over politics.
