On Thursday morning, the world learned that Bryan Goldberg has won the bidding for Gawker.com, the now-defunct sister site of our sister sites, which was sold as part of the bankruptcy process around Gawker Media, their now-defunct parent company. (It’s been an eventful couple of years.) Goldberg, who won the bidding by spending a reported $1.35 million, is the founder of Bleacher Report, the only site to ever successfully underestimate the intelligence of sports fans, and Bustle, the only site ever created about women’s issues. He is also, evidently, someone who has many spicy Facebook takes. A scan through comments he has made on the platform shows that Goldberg has a number of fun opinions about, among other things, homeless people, socialism, affirmative action, and issues connected to the #MeToo movement.
Here he is opining positively on the Trump administration’s rollback of environmental regulations, for example:
What the fuck even is this? A hit piece about a guy who bought the last vestiges of your snarky blog in a bankruptcy auction because your snarky blog went bankrupt when you were found liable in a civil action for things you published on your snarky blog?
What are these people planning to do once this ship goes down, and how much could they possibly be getting paid now?
And oh god this comment just kills it:

https://jezebel.com/is-the-uva-rape-sto ... 1665233387We can jump into the history of sites such as Deadspin, still run by people such as Drew Magary, Tim Marchman, Albert Burneko, Tom Ley and others who slut-shamed the fuck out of Beejoli Shah when she accused their buddy Greg Howard of sexually assaulting her - an issues that has never even been acknowledged by Deadspin. Other issues with sexual assault never addressed over there or by any of your sites? Tommy Craggs. AJ Daulerio.
Samer Kalaf, who still writes there, once equated women’s tennis success to boob size. Never even an apology. But hey, he’ll chime in about Barstool’s misogyny every now and then. Cool story.
We don’t even have to get into the hateful rhetoric spewed by The Root for anyone they don’t deem to even be the correct shade of brown. As a Latino, that racist, shit-filled site can burn for all I’m concerned. It should be called Rootbart.
Let’s be honest, the entire fame of this web site can be traced directly back to paying for, and publishing a Brett Favre dick pic. Nope, nothing wrong with that.
We can go on and on all day. I guess what I’m saying is YOU, and many of your colleagues are downright hypocrites every time you bash people like him. Your lack of self-awareness is astounding.
And this reply to that comment:

I don’t think it is a lack of self awareness. I just think it is desperation. Falling readership, staff, and owner support. Anybody with any talent has already left. The writers still around, like Merlan, have to know that they have no job prospects. Otherwise they would have left during the last round of buyouts.
Ouch.
