I’d have you represent me any day.

I’ve never once commented on deadspin or anywhere else, believe it or not, but this reporting on Mayweather is the best I’ve ever seen. On the night of the fight, to blatantly call out what an unrepentant wife beater he is, deserves more than applause. My despair over the demise of newspapers is tempered by this kind…

Not that I know anything about the bar business (except how to spend paychecks in them), but couldn’t you just do it as a “private event” for the night, bouncer doesn’t let anyone in who’s not on the list/vetted? Or even make it a legit fundraiser with a ticket price close enough to the $250 that the snitch won't…

Diana M., I’ll preface my comments by saying that I don’t know you and I have never followed your work, but speaking as a gentleman who has covered the sport for the past 11yrs FAITHFULLY, I think there are a few things about your position that bother me which I’ll take a quick moment to articulate. Being close to the…

From what I read, the tone of this piece really wasn’t condemning the women, and allowing them to be saved. It acknowledges the overwhelming number of women who choose not to leave/punish their violent partners...

Wtf r u even talking about?!?

No, that is not what you meant to insinuate. You insinuated that Harry Reid benefited from union intimidation at the polls, which is bullshit. You got clobbered and backtracked after telling nonsense stories. You must have thought you were on Breitbart.

Floyd Mayweather is kind of a perfect microcosm of Gawker’s attitude towards the racist trolls infesting their comment section. (Thankfully Deadspin is good about taking out the trash, but Gawker is a goddamned dumpster fire at the moment.)

I REALLY hope so, but I doubt it. I would love to see Mayweather’s teeth scattered around the ring, and I’m 100% sure that would’ve happened if they had made the fight back when people were first talking about it years ago (which is precisely why Floyd bent over backwards to find excuses to avoid it) but at this point…

I understand the urge to wish for that, but it’ll just give him a reason to find some woman to pick on. My sincere hope is that his children grow up right-headed and tell him to shove his money up his ass.

Can I ask what organization you work for? I myself grew up around domestic violence, that's an understatement-it was my childhood. I've wanted to get in touch with other victims or speak to young kids who survived this situation. I want them to know they aren't alone. Unfortunately, any resource has been extremely…

I work with kids who have witnessed domestic violence. The impact is profound and life altering—beyond even their capacity to trust, their beliefs about themselves, others, the world, the levels of stress literally can change the architecture of their still-developing brains, their long-term physical and emotional…

A few people have raised the questions “gee, isn’t this normal for the court system,” so I’ll address on this comment (with all respect to the other commenters who’ve asked, I’m only going to do it this one time).

I like how the target of your fulminations against corruption in Vegas — of all possible targets — is the unions.

Nobody in the labor world calls it “union status”

I hate to break this to you, but this is not out of the ordinary in terms of response/results from these agencies. Most of what I read doesn’t raise red flags to me. It’s just every day bullshit.

I guess you’ve never worked in media?

Since you’ve started writing here, all of the crime-related articles have been exceedingly thorough, well-researched, and, (despite the inherent tedium in legal matters) you manage to spin a tight, riveting narrative. Job well done.

This just makes me sad.

After reading so much bad journalism and shit reporting; Diana, this is the best piece of journalism I have read in a while. Good on you!
