No option to remove US sports
Progressive deterioration under the NYT. Pushing US sports outside of the USA makes no sense, they have minimal resonance despite what the internal perception is. Why have tailored feeds to my interests only to the litter it with sports like nfl or wnba that I don’t care about? Add to that the terrible advert partners when the app used to be ad free and the experience is worse than ever

Unwanted Pulse Notifications
Please stop sending me unwanted Pulse Newsletter notifications. I have no interest in American sports and there’s no way to turn off the notifications as they aren’t listed in the settings. I have previously contacted NY Times and all they’ve done is forward it to the team at The Athletic and no one has even responded to me.

Disappointed
I continue to not receive my subscribed emails. Customer service is hard to reach and slow to respond.
Offensive Reader Commentary
This app features reader comments that are often offensive, derogatory and mean spirited. This is a New York Times owned product but unlike reader comments published in the NYT, there is minimal attention to comments in The Athletic. The feature should be carefully moderated and managed to maintain civility.

Thieves
They are thieves, they make it intentionally hard to cancel your subscription. You have to wait in a Q of about 70 people before you can talk to someone and even then they lie and tell you they’ll contact you and never do. SHAME ON YOU THIEVES!
