Do You Subscribe to The Athletic?

[Orijinal]

I'm thinking about subscribing myself to The Athletic.. Who here subscribes?

If you do, what do you think about content and app usability?

 

[Newhouser]

I do and i like it. Use my computer more than the app but both get checked daily for articles of interest.

 

[Bayside44]

Yes, and the app is easy.

It's been a little slow considering no sports but it's a worthy cause with good content.

 

[rrlbees]

I do and I like it.

I subscribe. It is good. Matt is doing a nice job providing Syracuse based content and there are a lot of other good articles on a variety of sports. Mostly features, if you like that kind of thing.

I started subscribing a few months ago and have been very happy with it. The first 6 months/year is very reasonably priced and gives some good behind the scenes content. However, in terms of Syracuse, it's mostly basketball, so if you're looking for a ton of SU football, I haven't seen that yet.

yessir.

I dig it.

I subscribed prior to having a dedicated beat reporter for Syracuse and enjoyed it. With the additional Syracuse content, it's been even better. Big fan. I also like the app as it gives me good notifications and I set my feed for only the stories/content I like. So makes easy catching up after not reading it.

I subscribe and I love it

High quality reporting and writing. Great website. Well worth it.

Appreciate the responses, guys. Thanks for the input. You almost have me convinced to take the plunge

 

[elimunelson]

it's the best sports site now IMO.

I just got an email offering 50% off for a year? Is that what is making you considering it?

Yes. Without a doubt

I just chose not to re-up my subscription yesterday. While I found the writing to be top flight, I found that I only read a few articles a month, so I passed on renewing.

Give it a spin if you get a promo.

Is there a promotion code to share?

 

[chugg21]

I have it and like it a lot. If anyone is a Sprint or T-Mobile customer, there was a free year of it in yesterday's T-Mobile Tuesday thing along with free MLB package for the year. Was the 1st Tuesday that Sprint customers were allowed to take advantage of which was excellent timing.

Not that I saw. Just received a promotional email for 50% off

This got me thinking, anyone know what Dave Rahme is up to now? Wouldn't he have been ideal to do SU beat stuff for something like The Athletic?

 

[elimunelson]

If you follow English premier league they have some great stuff in that space as well.
I think it works if you follow a ton of sports

He was covering CNY area LAX for IL, but he hasn't been active since 2015.

Try just going to the site. When I followed the link in my email, it looked like the regular page with the offer.

 

[corpjet]

Yes and I'm happy with the content and the price, best part is no annoying ads and commercials

 

[brandokc]

FYI - anyone with T-Mobile including former Sprint customers can pick up a year of the Athletic for free through the T-Mobile Tuesdays app.

I think he is 65 now. Looks like he is pretty much retired. Hope all is well with him. Good guy and a talented writer.
