Sean, get rid of those ridiculous fucking sideburns that make you look even more like a fucking teenager and maybe someone will take your stupid ass seriously

I'm glad so many people are pointing out what a horseshit premise this.

Is it mandated by the head of gawker that all articles must be shitty troll bait now ? Or are you all just this fucking stupid.

1) That is not a "flop." Every coach in the NCAA instructs their kids to take a charge like that. No one's natural instinct in those situations is to fall helplessly backwards to the ground. If the offender initiates contact with his shoulder when you have position you are supposed to fall backwards. If your team's…

Hack journalist ruins otherwise legitimate site.

Stupid fucking article. Eat shit and fuck off.

You're trying way too hard to rationalize this stupid and biased article. Just stop.

I guess you can just completely overlook the fact that if the ref doesn't call the charge, it was Michigans basketball because LeVert made the steal already. Also, don't mention how Michigan got completely hosed on a review about 30 seconds prior to even allow Tennessee to have a chance. Good article though. Really…

It's tough having a Twitter username that gets mistaken for a celebrity's by stupid people.

People are missing the point. Note the lack of a closing quotation mark in the last sentence to indicate that the implications of this dialogue continue through today and beyond as the conversation between Ms. Parks and the police officer is one that will be continued by humanity as a whole for as long as we roam…

I served in the military when I was 17-22. I completed my MBA when I was 30 and I work in a very large corporation that's chock-full of folks with degrees, especially at the management level.

It's so obvious that it's embarrassing to have to spell it out, but, yes, we used that imagery because we thought it would make people click on the story and read it. The idea was that people would say, "More deaths than 9/11?!" and then read an article they might otherwise not have, about workers having their…

I get why clickbait isn't acceptable to use for some sorts of criticisms, but how do you figure it's not acceptable to use in the case of a misleading headline designed to make people think that a fairly mundane article is not mundane? I take it to mean the same thing. You may not like that it carries with it a much…

They're Journalists when they want to be taken seriously, and Bloggers when criticized for lack of standards.

I liked the days when Deadspin remotely kept boring, shitty comments by idiots invisible to most readers.

Oh shit! The Gawker family is getting sensitive about called out on their bullshit!

Here journalism = reading reddit. Reposting.

But but but journalists have been doing it forever, so they can't be blamed!

Most longform or even medium-form articles on sites generally don't deserve the "clickbait" tag, because work was put into those articles. The usual complaint I hear associated with clickbait is a link to something that someone is passing off as their own, when the content is not.

I believe this article assumes, wrongly, that the Gawker media properties (Gawker, Deadspin, Jezebel, et al) participate in journalism.
