I got it for $9.99/year at this link earlier in the day: https://theathletic.com/checkout/...n&curr=USD
Thanks for the information. Just signed up for subscription.
Just subscribed, watch out though… it took a second for the confirmation email to come through on my old account. So thinking it had to be a new account, I made a new one and went through the check out process only to find out that it went through on both.

No big deal since it's only a $1 a month, but thought I would give a heads up

If you're an SF Giants fan like me, this subscription is worth every penny just to be able to read Grant Brisbee's writing.

Yes, assuming you mean European soccer. MLS coverage a bit lackluster. Great individual team coverage if you are a fan of a specific Premier League team.

If you want to read thousands of articles on kneeling and other SJW related topics, then this is the publication for you! For me it was dreadful.

For $12 a year, it's totally worth it. Great sports coverage, especially for local teams.

Just FYI.. I had a horrible experience with them. After the subscription is over, you will get spammed with their comeback email even if you are unsubscribed from their mailing list. I had to open a ticket to get link to their policy center to get myself removed completely from their mailing list.

Sounds amazing! America is the land of freedom after all! We can all kneel whenever, wherever, for any reason!

Try that (or another political statement) at *insert average job* and let me know how it goes.

This is what they offer most of the time. It's probably the lowest they can go considering their already having to lay people off.
