The Athletic reportedly held an all-hands meeting for the first time to address the ongoing scandal involving former employee Dianna Russini and New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. Executive editor Steven Ginsberg called the meeting on Wednesday, April 29, according to Front Office Sports, during which he "acknowledged that communications could have been more clear." Ginsberg reportedly read from a prepared statement "lasting about 10 minutes" and did not take any questions from staff members.
