	~~High-quality local~~ sports coverage ~~isn’t dead~~. ~~At least that’s the premise upon which '''~~The Athletic~~''' is building its business~~.		The Athletic is the brainchild of Alex Mather and Adam Hansmann, former colleagues at the fitness tracking app Strava. In 2016, they founded The Athletic with the goal of building the best newsroom in sports, filling a void for fans hungry for deeper sports news and better coverage of their local teams. In 2022, The Athletic was acquired by The New York Times Company.

	The young startup, part of Y Combinator’s Summer 2016 class, is trying to reinvent local sports media – an industry that has been on the decline ever since newspapers realized that advertising revenue wouldn’t be enough to support a team of writers to cover local sports teams. So when regional newspapers began to cut costs the sports desk was often the first to go – especially since national brands like ESPN were already offering similar content.		''Note:''  The above descriptive information came from the site's [https://theathletic.com/about/ About Us] page. The organization started in Chicago and now a Philadelphia location.

	But The Athletic thinks that there is still demand for truly '''local content, written by sportswriters that live and breathe local teams'''. And, the startup thinks that if this content is good enough, readers will happily pay for it.

	''Note:''  The above descriptive information came from ~~[http://techcrunch.com/2016/07/08/the-athletic-is-bringing-subscription-based-local-sports-coverage-to-a-city-near-you Tech Crunch], except for~~ the ~~tagline, which came from this organization~~'s [~~http~~://~~www.~~theathletic.com ~~home~~ page]. The organization started in Chicago and now ~~has~~ a Philadelphia location.
