Sad, but to be expected in a world where people stay on their phones and tablets and hardly read magazines and books anymore. Damn near every SI cover (with its ‘less is more’ approach) from beginning to like the 2000s was classic and suitable for framework. A shame that SI felt it had to change with the times politically when most (if not all) readers just wanted to read about sports. But from what I’ve read, this situation looks more like a screw-up created by management more than anything else.
