Downside: Athletic burns $$$ and needed a buyer or an investor - which is why deal is the same valuation as their last funding round. And $500 per subscriber is not cheap for the NYT. Needs to feel very confident they can boost Athletic’s numbers/reduce cost. — PolitiTweet.org

Upsides: Times gets an entirely new sub business it can bundle with NYT. And NYT bundle should help Athletic with its churn problem - subs who stop paying/reading when their team/sport isn’t playing. — PolitiTweet.org

Past performance doesn’t predict future etc. But, a reminder: *NYT bought Boston Globe for $1.1 billion. Sold for $70 million. *NYT bought https://t.co/KEBEck8MKr for $410 million. Sold for $300 million. — PolitiTweet.org
