"Sports Illustrated: The Demise and Departure of a Publishing Icon"
Former Arena Group CEO Ross Levinsohn has resigned from the company's board, citing the "destruction" of Sports Illustrated's brand and newsroom as the reason for his departure. Levinsohn, who previously served as CEO of Sports Illustrated, expressed disappointment in the company's direction. He highlighted the growth achieved during his tenure and expressed confidence in the company's future, following its majority sale to Simplified Inventions. Levinsohn has held various roles at media companies, including Yahoo and the LA Times, before his time at Arena and SI.
