James Fegan my primary reason to try it. With the $1 per month billing for 2 years, instead of all upfront, have no risk unlike MoviePass.

michelangelosmonkey Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Thanks for the tip...I've been thinking about The Athletic for a couple of years...this made me move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourWhatHurts Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Thanks for the heads up! Here's another tip: when you sign up, click "your account" and click the "cancel subscription" button. It'll ask if you really want to cancel or add 30 days for free. So click add 30 days. I think that helps add an extra month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourWhatHurts Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I had the athletic before when they had a July 4th sale. It was $14.40 then for 1 year and maybe slightly more. That's a great price also, but I didn't think it was worth the regular price. But that's just me. I like about 1 of every 5 or 6 Sox articles as being especially informational, and read a bit about the Bulls here and there, but that's it. Definitely it pays to watch out for the sales. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Yea I don’t find it worth while for the normal price but whenever they offer something like this it’s a no brainer. $1 a month is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Us having Fegan definitely helps. Love his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetman Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Actually that ridiculously low pricing makes me worried about their financial situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feagan is a blessing for Sox fans. Having just about 30 hours of access, the writing I’ve encountered is a lot more detailed and informative than what you’ll find on team websites or from the local papers. Family subscribed to the Chicago Daily News and after they shuttered, the Sun Times until Murdoch purchased and Royko left. Not a suburbanite, so Chicago Tribune largely irrelevant. Since then, the Chicago Reader and purchases of The National in the early 90s have been it in terms of local media and sports coverage. Definitely worth 3 cents a day. And for folks who wager, they offer daily gambling coverage with solid analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is unrelated as a comparison, but similar in a way. Way back in the last century, Bally’s had a ridiculous gym membership offer for $7 a month which I gladly signed up for but never used. A great deal, for Bally’s. Which is the thinking. Few people really use their gym membership lol. May as well offer it for $3 a month. Free money. Which is also similar to life insurance. People buy it, but most eventually stop paying for it somewhere along the line. So the insurance company doesn’t have a bunch of people that actually cash in. Free money. But anyway TA will be best served if they don’t drive a hard bargain on price to drive buyers out of the market. Even if they offer it for a dollar a month to as many people as possible. Its not like it increases their overhead to give out more subscriptions. A very lucrative move. A dollar a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
