In June 2023, I got laid off from my dream job at ESPN.

For the next two years, I wasn’t allowed to write, go on TV, or start a YouTube channel.

So I did the only thing I could: I stopped. I watched sports like a fan again.

That’s when I realized something.

Sports media is broken.

And I started planning for something new.

Whether you’re a casual or a diehard, we highly suggest you take a look at @Joon’s work.

He’s attempting to bridge the hardcore sports fan (like him) to “the fans who do love sports, but they love it in a different way and in a way that reflects society and culture and politics.”

As a team that identifies as nearly every “type” of sports fan, we’re big fans of this kind of coverage.

It’s now more lucrative to have a losing sports team than a championship team.
