The Athletic - don't get it
Not going to pay £5 a month for the privilege of reading stuff that will be available for free from other places. Just because they have poached all the 'top talent'. It's writing about football.

The pricing is nowhere near the value/content you get from Netflix, Amazon prime or Spotify.
