All good, I understand. Hope you reconsider as we build up our sports staff. And we are definitely just starting that. I'd be reading The Standard on all things even they didn't hire me and start up with sports. But of course, I'm 100% Bay Area.

And thank you to everybody who has signed up for membership. I know there are a lot of options and it does add up. But I joined The San Francisco Standard knowing this would work because of all the great journalists here — and it’s gratifying to see that play out.

By the way... The Standard has a membership program now! If you appreciate the work we do, please consider joining — along with our journalism, you'll get some other ✨fun treats✨ too sfstandard.com/pricing/
