They were angry about the coverage of the new owners.


They wanted to neuter coverage and have a bunch of sponsored content.... Good for her.

The wanted deadspin to write about sports and drop the politics. Reader surveys agreed. Let's see what happens to readership with more focus on sports, okay?

same thing happening to my former company

they are bleeding cash and employees

i doubt they are going to learn in time to save the company, mostly because it's never been as big as deadspin

WHAT?

Deadspin editor Megan Greenwell says, “The heart of the mission today is the same: to call out hypocrisy in sports wherever it is.”

Really, that's the mission?

Yeah, maybe, if sports is your thing, don't take a shit on the President as part of your coverage.

We get enough of that from CNN and MSNBC. This isn't your job.

Literally, stick to sports. Or your company can stick to failing.

Deadspin was more than happy to help me get Kietzman fired, though. Useful idiots.

“I’m making the gamble that Deadspin will be better off once the team leader is someone the leader of the company wouldn’t feel the need to smear in front of 400 people,” Greenwell said.

So you smeared the actual leader of the company in front of millions on the internet?

Hypocrite much?

Twitter feed tells you everything you need to know. Her & her flock flies on the far left. New owners were right to crack down.
