The comments from some folks siding with Maven vs Grant Wahl is reminiscent of siding with owners vs players.

"Overpaid to write", "Should be happy with paycut"

Look at the history of the people who run Maven. They cut everyones salaries to enrich the few. That's the model.
Like Grant Wahl is an OG writer of soccer in this country. In doing research for @25_stories , Wahl is probably the most cited. He literally help grow a sport in this country.

The two dudes who run Maven? Here you go, read their resumes:

Levinsohn: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Levinsohn
Read them and ask, who is driving value and should be compensated for it?

I'm probably going to regret all of this.

But the point is, support great writers & journalists. The ones you enjoy reading & appreciate what they discover and share. Follow them, wherever they go.
