I have no beef with Sports Illustrated, but they made their bed when they went ‘woke’ with the transgender swimsuit edition. It was the most straightforward edition of that publication, and they ruined it. Many ‘Bud Light’ comparisons are being made because the magazine announced that virtually all staff will be fired. The revenue isn’t there to sustain the brand, so this Friday was like the Red Wedding for a lot of people (via Washington Post):

Devastating news. I grew up reading SI cover to cover. It was a huge influence on me wanting to pursue a career in sports journalism and dive deeper on the stories I wanted to tell.
Another harsh reminder of how fragile this industry is — and how badly we need reader support. https://t.co/Atyv2aNni2

Very sad news..
The entire staff of Sports Illustrated was notified on Friday that their jobs were being eliminated.
The future of the media business is quite bleak. https://t.co/qzB4vfb2dV pic.twitter.com/74PnZYQktu

Sports Illustrated Bud Lite’d themselves. Nobody wants to see trans dudes and fat chicks in the swimsuit edition. https://t.co/Go2Qrq36VW
