Make no mistake, the layoffs at the Post hurt readers the most. I grieve for my sports colleagues that helped describe the societal fabric sports reveal. But on a basic level of holding institutions and power accountable, and uplifting the stories and problems of everyday people, this is a travesty.

Jeff Bezos’ management of the Post is representative of how America has swung from For The People to For The Rich.
Bezos promised valiant stewardship of an important democratic institution, but lost interest. When he started meddling, he hurt the business. Now he’s firing people for *his* choices.

The Commodores went 2-10 and were one of the country’s worst defenses. But for Minter (and Vanderbilt), that season still echoes in surprising ways: www.thebanner.com/sports/raven...
