Muscular Development going down the shitter.

All their athletes are dropped and they are left with a few. Wow, they sound like they are bankrupt... That sucks

I may be a little off with specifics, but haven't there been a few times in the past where they suddenly drop a bunch of athletes?

And of course print media doesn't seem to be a big market anymore these days...

So is this really the beginning of the end, or is it just business as usual for them?

Oh yeah. But when they drop BIG names like Jay and a few others it makes you ? what really maybe going on. If social media is taking over and print is done, I think this is def. the main problem.

who was dropped ?

**Curt James** · 10-18-2014, 07:16 PM

They dropped Jay? Or did his contract expire?

I doubt MD is going down the tubes.

People love to be doomsayers.

I heard they dropped Jay Cutler as well as other athletes who have not lasted too long. Aaron Clark was also dropped aka "Are not extending his contract"

Just a liiiiiittle bit vague.

How so? If publishing mags is their bread and butter. If sales are dropping and main athletes are leaving or being dropped, what does that mean? They cant afford to pay them

You said, "All their athletes are dropped" and I asked (and you didn't answer) "Or did his contract expire?"

Also asked which athletes? So which ones, PfA?

Just did a screen grab there. Which athletes has MD dropped?

Fwiw, they could probably drop or lose half and still have a great magazine. Not to mention that they still own whatever photos they gathered while those athletes were under contract, right?

Jay got a good offer from AMI / WEIDER and Aaron Clark was not re hired if he had a stronger following then he would have been kept on over there .

^^^^this....it's just business people....contracts end and don't get resigned all the time

Jay, Antoine (He should of been let go from b4 w his crazy antics) Cody which he has done nothing for md which is understandable, I believe Dallas too who has done NOTHING but b.s short clips here and there. What MD is doing is Justifiable but maybe it is a typical business move? I never would of thought cutz though. I always thought he was their poster child

You have no idea what you're saying.
