Marc Antoine Godin’s departure: The Athletic will no longer offer French-language content
Auteur: Manuel Sperandio-LemayThis is sad news for the team’s beat, because Marc Antoine Godin was (and still is) recognized as one of the best journalists in the business. Following the announcement of his departure, a multitude of his fellow journalists took the time to salute his work, as he is excellent at what he does.
One question, in particular, came up a lot on Twitter after the news broke. Will The Athletic continue to offer French-language content, even after Godin’s departure?
I’m very sad that our French service will end like this, but obviously this decision is out of my control. – Arpon Basu
It’s a real, real shame. And it’s sad that it’s come to this.
After all, The Athletic’s original mission was to provide appropriate regional coverage in all markets. This will no longer be the case in Montreal.
Obviously, all this has and will have consequences for the platform, which is already starting to see some readers cancel their respective subscriptions. Take a look at the comments on Arpon Basu’s tweet that I inserted above.

To remind, Tkachuk, Montour, Gudas, Cousins and Luostarinen didn’t practice with Panthers yesterday. https://t.co/cZlPgnGtdd

– There’s only one right answer to this question.
Patrick Roy certainly left his mark during his time with the Quebec Remparts.
Do you think he did enough to deserve a second chance in the NHL? pic.twitter.com/SJflN2YiEd
