Penn’s theScore, a major player in sports media, has just cut ties with a significant number of its high-profile writers and editors. This isn’t just trimming the edges—it’s a deep cut affecting well-known voices in the industry. While layoffs aren’t uncommon in media these days, the scale and prominence of those let go here suggest a bigger shift might be underway at the company.

Editor’s Note: Sports fans and media watchers should take note—when established outlets shed experienced talent, it often signals financial strain, a strategic pivot, or both. For readers, it could mean fewer familiar bylines and potentially a shift in theScore’s editorial direction. For the industry, it’s another reminder of how unstable digital media remains, even for well-known brands.
