Nick the Greek Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 20 minutes ago, Gugny said: I feel like Deadspin is primarily responsible for bringing Bills fans' idiotic table slamming ways to the national spotlight. They were definitely the ones who broke the "drinking from girl's butt," story. Did they create "Bills Mafia?" Na, it was barstool that would endless play the dumb table breaking videos. They should get the credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITE ME Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 2 hours ago, Rob's House said: Like the saying goes: Get woke, go broke. Amen. If you want to get political do it on your own personal facebook or twitter account. These idiots that don't take instructions from people paying their salaries are amazing. If getting political made the site $$$ the owners would allow it. If it costs them money (which it was doing) they don't allow it. This is not rocket science. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their non-sports stories did drive in a ton of traffic. and deadspin was bringing in a ton of traffic until the writers left on their own terms.

So the parent company came out with an edict "Do write unless it's about sports, no non-sports content is allowed." So all the pansy writers and editors just up and quit. I think they thought they could blackmail the company to allow politics again. https://www.thedailybeast.com/deadspin-staff-resigns-en-masse-amid-revolt-over-sports-only-policy?via=twitter_page Edited November 2, 2019 by boater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 4 hours ago, BillsDude said: So you do not think Republicans use sports for their anti-liberal and pro-conservative talking points? Ridiculous comparison. The journalistic profession--I'm a former reporter--has been taken over by holier than thou liberals who've given up the mission of unbiased reporting. They can't even hide it from a damn sports website. I don't even consider myself a Republican but it should be obvious to anyone. Old men complaining about undereducated, coddled millionaires kneeling for the anthem is not in the same ballpark of this discussion. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Good to see the employees had the brass to tell management to piss off, and take down the company when management got out of hand. Good on them!!! We could sure use a hell of a lot more of that in good ole Murcia . Hope the employees open back up on their own. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same private equity-types that came in to stripmine Deadspin will probably rush to finance a new startup by the former staffers.
