[News] Clippers Paying Kawhi Under the Table

[Insomniacal Fan]

Pablo works for the Athletic, which is a subsidiary of the New York Times so it’s not like this is a random TikToker breaking this news

I don't think that's quite right. I believe that The Athletic distributes PTFO, but does not exert editorial oversight.

“They purchased the right to license us,” he said. “It just means that they advertise, monetize, promote the show—but they don’t own the show.”

I think The Athletic is operating more as a social media platform or as a news aggregator here; distributing content without owning or taking responsibility for its contents. Which is an approach that I think marginalizes the investigative journalism. I want there to be more journalism, and I want it to matter.
