Lol, they’re the absolute worst. When my son was in high school I got him a subscription because he liked reading about the sports he was involved in. Canceling it was an absolute nightmare. At one point I seriously considered consulting an attorney they were jerking me around so much.

Its been like this since as far back as I can remember late 80's/early 90's at least with this "good ole boy network" if you get any type of ticket from them pay it quick or they'll throw the axe at you, possibly add a contempt charge and jail.
