I still have a print subscription to SI, and the writing seemed to be up to the
usual standards in the most recent issue -- although it was mostly
not-particularly-timely articles spotlighting various sports innovations (most
interesting was about a model of track shoe that Puma made for the 1968
Olympics that wound up being declared illegal).
Of course, I feel like that for this type of one-off historical article -- and
they'll no doubt be doing even more of this next year, on their
less-than-biweekly schedule -- they'll have no problem finding decent freelance
writers. My understanding is that most of the writers who were let go were
reporters who were on a regular beat, and that's something where it can be
harder to get a good replacement.
