The good new is that this likely allows for the chance of another quality outlet to spring up. The bonus for us is that competition breeds better pricing for the general public.
My thoughts as well. I'm not paying a subscription to read the Athletic, nor will a lot of other people, especially in this day and time. They would do better business being free and selling ad space IMO. Greed gets people. Just like I think the NFL could probably easily double their intake from Sunday Ticket if they offered teams "a la carte" I will never pay for Sunday Ticket, because it's too expensive and even if it wasn't, I don't have time to watch 15 or 16 games every week. Now if they offered the Bengals only for say $100.00, I'd be all in and I think a lot of other fans across the country, especially those who don't get a lot of coverage in their area would jump all over it.
