Just Jack Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Quote The sports blog that refused to play ball died Friday at the age of 14. Former Editor-in-Chief Megan Greenwell confirmed its passing on Twitter. Cause of death: Everyone quit in protest. “And with that, it’s over,” Greenwell wrote. “Deadspin no longer employs a single writer or editor. I am gutted but so very proud of this group of people. “Deadspin was a good website.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/deadspin-is-no-more-after-mass-staff-exodus-former-eic/ Edited November 2, 2019 by Just Jack 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 very interesting. Site was mostly garbage, IMO. More click-bait and self-righteousness reporters than anything else. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike in Horseheads Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I thought it was a great site that wasn't same old crap. Shame that some big shot got involved. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaMilBill Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 They got very political and very anti-conservative. I had to stop reading it cause their articles turned from mostly sports to mostly liberal talking points 24 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeviF Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Started out good. Got bad in a hurry around 2015-2016, like a lot of things. Portnoy is gloating on Twitter about it. He offered a former deadspin editor $100k a year to be his butler ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaoulDuke79 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Good....when I first heard about Deadpsin I found it different and interesting. But over time, the more I read it the more I could definitely sense an overt one sided political slant. I can't remember exactly which article was the straw that broke the camel's back per se, but at that point over a year or so ago I made a conscious decision to no longer visit the site.

The upper management should be fired directly into the sun specifically for giving Portnoy something to gloat about. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not even a conservative - I’m about as moderate/in the middle as it gets, but I am so sick of the constant bias of self righteous reporters at every turn lately. Deadspin turned into Buzzfeed sports. Edited November 2, 2019 by SCBills 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leh-nerd skin-erd Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) I was mistakenly under the impression that being “gutted” would hurt more than finding out 14 of your hypstyr journalist co-workers did not show up for work to protest a greedy hedge fund. It sure looked painful in Braveheart, but then again Mel Gibson is a pretty good actor and I don’t have any hedge fund people in my neighborhood.
