Personally, I never had a subscription to the actual physical magazine, but I stopped visiting their page altogether when Peter King decided after 20ish years of having no problem saying Redskins, he was all of the sudden "woke". How fucking convenient. He is the worst kind of coward. Waits until it's a thing, then all of the sudden wants to pretend that he is a Native American activist.
Side note - Being a writer/columnist seems like an awful job. Not because the work sucks, but the threat of being laid off would be terrible. There are a million ways to get your sports nowadays, but it's not possible to have a million successful companies to pay the writers.

I had a subscription between the ages of 8-12, that was a long time ago late 60's to early 70's. I am kind of shocked what some of the magazines that have been around since then have changed. Most have shrunk in size while now being 50% ads and pushing a liberal agenda. I am old enough to remember when most of the media whether in print or broadcast was politically neutral.
