Quotes from Matt's link, "...the laid-off photographers will still be shooting the upcoming Super Bowl together for the magazine."
Maybe they can enjoy the view and take no photos.
"We just have to figure out what this new structure is."
No photos might help them figure that out faster.

A quote from the article -

"Sports Illustrated director of photography Brad Smith confirmed the move this morning to News Photographer magazine."

I assure you I had nothing to do with this decision !

Wouldn't that put the cat among the pigeons. The trouble is there are now so many people with cameras out there who send in photos and expect no payment that the publications have the upper hand. Bye bye quality and specialised knowledge.
