The Old Gray Lady is shutting down her sports desk, but not her sports coverage. Last year the NY Times acquired The Athletic, a sports oriented web site, for $550 million. They will still have a sports page but will use info from The Athletic to feed it as well as to direct readers to content from The Athletic.
The 35 people from the sports desk are being moved to other assignments and there will probably be few, if any, layoffs.
The TIMES has had some primo sports coverage in the past and has even won several Pulitzer Prizes for sports reporting, though none in the last 40 years or so.
EDITOR'S NOTE: It would be a great day if they shut down that whole liberal bird cage liner.
