OT: TheAthletic.com running a special today.

[Profet]

I am in no way affiliated with the site... other than being a happy consumer.

I noticed they are running a special today with an annual subscription for $24 "today only"... it's usually $60.
Figured people here would be interested.

Edit:

I need to re-up my subscription, I wonder if I can take advantage of this deal

I cancelled my previous sub, and signed up for a new account with a different email address to take advantage. Since my previous sub expires this month anyway and would have renewed at $60/year.

Highly recommend the site. Been really happy with it. Lots of good stuff in there.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Yeah. I purchased my subscription earlier this year and I couldn't be happier.

@Profet Thank you for sharing this with our forum.

Price seems reasonable. Is it worth it? Any way to get an idea of the type of articles and coverage they provide?

I think it is worth it. Now, if you only follow one team from one sport and nothing else... maybe not. But I assume most people here are a Yankees/Mets fan, Jets/Giants fan, Knicks/Nets fan, or maybe an MLS/Chelsea/Man. United/ Arsenal/Real Madrid/Juventus fan.

You start by picking the teams that you are most interested in. I of course picked the Rangers as one of the teams. I get push notifications to my phone when new articles are up related to the Rangers (and general NHL articles). Carpinello is one of the Rangers writers. Some of the bigger names that write for the athletic are Sean McIndoe (Down Goes Brown), Pierre Lebrun, Scott Burnside, Craig Custance, Corey Pronman, etc.

It isn't just breaking news or prospect talk. One of the recent articles is about Ray Emery and his life.

It's not even the price or cost for me, it' s just the whole hassle of signing up for an account, giving another company all my information to resell to 3rd parties, put a payment method on having to worry about cancelling it etc...

i can live without the athletic personally

Use fake info and a gift card? And you can turn off recurring payments right away. First thing I did.

Just because companies request your data, doesn't mean it has to be your actual data.

I always use throw away email addresses and fake info when i have to sign up for something free.

again just the hassle, i don't care enough to go to the store and buy a gift card, register a zip code for it online etc. just to read some online articles.
