So all those high-brow Deadspin fans calling that guy a scab don’t really know that those crybaby writers quit and aren’t on strike picketing therefore makes him not a scab ? #learn2union

Deadspin fans at the end of the day are the real trash of the Internet because while Barstool folks try to have fun, Deadspin fans try to actually ruin lives.

I would expect that the fan bases would have significant overlap. Sure, there is a Twitter mob for both, but I suspect those folks are just a small vocal minority.

I made a mistake and looked up her image. I wouldn't fuck her with whistler's dick. So i think the best she can do from the baseball front is maybe a pitching coach of a AA team.

It's funny that most articles now are ghostwritten by "Deadspin staff" so they don't get blown up on twitter for working there.

David Roth said it's just one guy in management cranking out all the posts.

Reading some of the ones from NFL Sunday, it feels like they are all just spit out by an AI computer.

too bad the guy didnt just respond with go f yourself. these people quit because they didnt like changes management implemented... that's it. instead of crucifying some freelancer, why not just ignore his content and the website? those idiot bloggers are dellusional.

deadspin WAS mostly just blogger takes on other people's reporting.... think about that... deadspin nearly entirely relied on other people's reporting to generate their blogs

The "I forced a bot to read over 1,000 Deadspin posts and then asked it to write a Deadspin commercial of its own" bit but it just repeats "LeBron James," "Actually," and "Dave Portnoy" over and over.

Yeah, went to deadspin today and none of the articles have the slightest bit of entertainment value.

$25 million for barstool. $30 million for a smile inducing card game about cats.

It was a really bad look that they had a lot of blog posts criticizing The Athletic while also having a lot of blog posts cribbing near-entire articles from The Athletic.

Drew Magary hates Mayor Pete so much I'm thinking he may be Tall Midget.

They piggybacked like this on ESPN, too, which used to be their sworn nemesis until Barstool got big and ESPN and Deadspin forged a tenuous woke-scold alliance. From the way people talk about Deadspin, you'd think it was nothing but intrepid shoe-leather reporters working round the clock to break meaningful stories, rather than a deluge of "Stephen A. Smith Is A Big Dumbass For Saying Big Dumbassed Things Because Of Course He Did" posts that are just regurgitated ESPN.

With Buttigieg, it's that he hit the scene with some fairly progressive rhetoric (packing the court! heavens to Betsy! my precious paper!) but as soon as he smelled blood in the water he pivoted to being Gay Rahm Emanuel and gobbling up rich people's money. It's deeply cynical and separates him from a candidate like Amy Klobuchar, who is to the right of many of her opponents but has been nothing but honest about it.
