FRAUDULENT COMPANY. NO WAY TO CANCEL THE SUBSCRIPTION.

Great journalism but technically, they don't have their act together. Can't get any email notifications and support just stops responding after a while. Of course, they refuse to give any sort of a refund.

As per everyone else on here I've been scammed by The Athletic. A business model based on duping the customers through dishonest auto-renewals that you didn't ask for and then can't cancel is simply fraudulent. Feel bad for the journalists who may not realise they are working for what must be one of the least customer-friendly organisations out there.

They have become a full on political outlet pushing truly absurd and outrageous political agendas. They have hired a number of pro BLM writers (says it in their profiles) who push truly mad agendas such as calling it racist to boo a player of a certain colour (but not when they’re another colour) and calling clubs racist for not hiring more managers who are a certain colour. There is zero foundation to any of their claims and they just offer a totally biased and outright false narrative, refusing to acknowledge any other sides of the argument. Feels like I have subscribed to the BLM newsletter and have now unsubscribed, as have many others I know. If you want to become a totally partisan media outlet pushing completely false and unfounded agendas then you will continue to lose more and more subscribers. Utterly ridiculous

Scammers and dishonest company. Do not sign with them.They took full amount subscription from my account for 4 months without consent. I expect to have my refund back or I'll post my experience anywhere I can. Low behavior can't be trusted !

Scammers. They run a trial special,get your info,then charge your payment method then, don't let you access the account.When you give up and cancel, they refuse to let you. You have to stop payments through your bank.

Scam. I have no subscription (tried all of my emails, logins, cookies, and the site even says I have No subscription. But I’m still being charged $7.99 for a service I don’t have.

They steal your money are refuse to return it!
