Barker Davis, a sportswriter for the Washington Times, confirms to the Georgetown Voice that as part of the massive ongoing purge, the Sports section will definitely be disappearing by February:

As of Feb. 2 at the absolute latest, the Times won't be covering ANY local sports, not Redskins, Caps, Terps, Hoyas - NADA.... They are blowing up the sports department and I understand nearly half of all editorial staff and content. I'm already looking at how much more education I need to teach English Lit and coach hoops in public HS.

We wish Davis and everyone else over there the best of luck.
