That’s right. Sports Illustrated is going away.
Of course, we feel most sorry for the hundreds of employees who currently work at SI, and it’s obviously a stain on the sports media landscape as a whole. For millions of people, like myself, who grew up on Sports Illustrated, it’s the sad end of an era.
