Eight years ago, The Athletic was the obnoxious villain of the story and the Washington Post was the respected institution that treated its sports reporters so well, not a single one jumped ship. You normally have to watch WWE to see this sort of extreme change in good guy/bad guy roles.

My first job out of college was the Washington Post sports section. I worked there four years. This decision isn't just terrible, it's idiotic. People read sports. The Post sports section has been arguably the best in the country over the last 50 years. Doing this can't be a business decision.
