I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not
What I do know is that I haven't stopped whacking off to it since it came outComment -

Who didn't see that coming?Originally posted by Eddy MunnyComment -
The internet ruined everything. Why pay money for information that's weeks old when you can get it instantly online? Just like newspapers had to make the switch to online content, SI should have gone cyber decades ago.
We live in an online world now which is scary because it wouldn't take too much effort to destroy internet access across a widespread region. This is also why the U.S. can't close itself off from the rest of the world. Thanks for listening to my libtard TED talk. You're welcome.

Do you believe the internet should be regulated, or is already regulated governed by the US Department of Commerce?Comment -
I remember the 70's and 80's when I was a kid, and couldn't wait for the mailman to come with my latest magazine. SI, Sport Magazine, Boys Life, and TV Guide. When I wasn't out playing, I would read those magazines over and over again for hours. What a totally different world we live in now.Comment -
Magazines were on the leading edge.Originally posted by Mr KLC
We all watched the same TV shows at the same time.
The telephone not being answered just meant someone wasn't home, not dissing you.

Go Woke Go BrokeComment -
Go go cancel culture eh! YippeeeeeOriginally posted by Flashmo.Comment -
Why do you keep conflating cancel culture with people spending money on things they need/want versus not spending money on things they don't want or no longer fit their paradigm of palatability?Originally posted by Optional
If you don't enjoy cabbage soup and therefore don't eat cabbage soup, that is not cancel culture. Moreover, even if you once ate cabbage soup and your taste buds changed over time, or the industry started adding turmeric to cabbage soup and you don't like turmeric, removing cabbage soup from your shopping list is not cancel culture.
Now go support Big Cabbage you cancel culture monger.Comment -

Sorry if you hate that "go woke, go broke" IS the #1 example of cancel culture threats today!
But that's what it is. And it's the cry of today's loud Karens.
I do think they sound kinda dumb repeating it so often when they are also embarrassed to be the champions of cancel culture. But hey, we can't explain all the dumb things people do and say eh?.Comment -
You didn't address the discrepancy at all. You just repeated yourself.Originally posted by Optional
The funny thing is, even the mainstream doesn't recognize your definition. Literally no one has decried cancel culture as the reason for slipping sales at Sports Illustrated or Bud Light. You're living in your own head.
If you that's how you define cancel culture, then it's never not existed.Comment -
I'd venture to guess letting a trans person be in the swimsuit edition was the final nail in that coffin, outside of that issue there sales had probably been non-existent the last 5 years, everyone already got their free oversized sweatshirt back in the 90's.Originally posted by Eddy MunnyComment -
no one reads print magazines as of he last 20 years.
online rules the day.
the fact it lasted this long is remarkable.
they went WOKE a decade ago and WONComment -

Not buying cabbage because you don't like is not similar to calling on your pals to destroy a business due to not liking that the company acts inclusive.
That's a political move to cancel the company.
And every time someone cheers at a company demise with the words "go woke, go broke' it's 100% proof that that person definitely intended it that way. Cry of the Karens!! lol
And your evidence thats not true is that mainstream media hasnt told you it is so eh....Comment -
TARGET went woke.
people don't like it? don't shop there. go to Walmart. no one cares.Comment -
Yeah but Optional is so eager to get involved he just throws the phrase around like a kid in a candy store.Originally posted by Thefix13Comment -
The mainstream is the one that coined the term and swung the real cancel culture hammer, what are you on about?Originally posted by OptionalWhat discrepancy??

The phrase "get woke, go broke" is believed to have been coined by the American military science fiction author John Ringo in 2018. It originated in a dispute involving Ringo's invitation to ConCarolinas where objections were raised because Ringo wrote books in which the central character has impulses to rape.Originally posted by Eddy MunnyComment -
Ok, you are welcome to listen to the mainstream media before believing anything.Originally posted by Eddy Munny
And I will stick to using basic common sense, that someone yelling "go woke, go broke' is threatening to cancel the company.

I'm certainly not woke, but I am definitely brokeComment -
most sportsbettors are.Originally posted by getaloadoffatsoComment -
You can't destroy a business with a phrase, furthermore, one that's made after the fact.Originally posted by OptionalOk, you are welcome to listen to the mainstream media before believing anything.

And the Left is the mainstream, so when I say that even they aren't decrying "cancel culture" as the reason for S.I. or Bud Light's failure, then it kinda puts you on an island in your unfounded grievances. Even the proponents of the alphabet mafia don't call this cancel culture.
Like I said, by your definition, it's never not existed.Comment -
I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and this was my life. Outside playing sports with friends or reading magazines during the cold winters. There was nothing better than getting SI, Sporting News and the old man’s Playboys. I would read SI articles over and over and for hours. I still have many classic covers framed from years ago. I made my kids put to down the screens and enjoy real life more and their behavior is noticeably more playful, creative and less serious.Originally posted by Mr KLCComment -
I wasn't much a SI guy myself, when I played Pony League ball at sixteen my 'bible' was The Sporting News.Originally posted by mjsuax13
Most of us when we were teens go to was The Sporting News.
But when the swimsuit issue came out, then we paid attention to SI.
Hard copy magazines and newsprint is officially dead, exceptions being a handful of magazines like People.
Change is inevitable, adapt or die.Comment
