The Athletic
Worth it, or nah?
If I had no monthly recurring things, I'd prob go for it but every month my Amex bill comes and between NYT, ESPN+, Netflix, Showtime, and like 6 other things I'm already paying over $100/mo for media. Is it REALLY worth it? Anybody have both Athletic and ESPN+ and prefer one over the other?

Re: The Athletic
I like it but probably won’t renew for pretty much the reasons you described

Re: The Athletic
Athletic is worth it. Especially during the season. Could get ugly with Dexter this year.

I, too, am an Athletic supporter. They juggle a lot of balls with comfort and ease.Big Amoco Sign wrote:Athletic is worth it. Especially during the season. Could get ugly with Dexter this year.

I pay for it and find it worth the money.

Re: The Athletic
I prefer The Athletic...I actually canceled ESPN after I had them both for a while. But that is mostly because I only really follow baseball closely and prefer their baseball coverage.
I do the annual subscription so I don't have to mess with the monthly nonsense; it's cheaper that way too.

Re: The Athletic
Mark Saxon came to my work a while back, and he was a nice chap. But that's not reason enough to pay for it (although I do pay for it).
