Sports Illustrated fires (virtually) errbody!

It takes a special kind of incompetence and/or malice to screw up a company whose business model revolves around posting pictures and stories of sports and beautiful women.

The problem is, that business model is obsolete. Today, anyone can post pictures and stories of sports and beautiful women, and many do it for free.

Back in the day, a team had 1 beat writer and you had to wait a day/week/month to read a piece; today you can find multiple writers writing about specific teams on different platforms in real time. Long articles have given way to the 480 word format.

it took a true professional to take and process the beautiful shots you saw on SI... today you can do that with your phone and a free image manipulator.
