And here’s the Jackass Maidment defending the firing: https://www.thedailybeast.com/go-media-executive-defends-firing-deadspin-editor-for-not-sticking-to-sports?ref=home

If your shithead bosses are just gonna kill this place anyway, I’m happy to see that you’ve all decided to burn it down first. Vive le Deadspin!

This is just dumb. Loved your website/ blog, whatever in the fuck you want to call it...I don’t care, I’m middle-aged now and the world is passing me by and the correct terminology is going with it. But, goddamn it, Deadspin was my sanctuary from when the day was shitting on my leg with great aplomb. And just like…

Nothing weird about the Deadspin post about autoplaying videos dissapearing.

And despite your corporate overlords telling you to stick to sports, I hope Deadspin never does because

and I can’t emphasize this enough

I come to Deadspin BECAUSE YOU DON’T JUST STICK TO SPORTS

This leads us to one question....is Joe Flacco an elite backup quarterback?

No worries, the average Corvette buyer’s cataracts make the GM visibility problem moot. 

I absolutely cannot wait for some random game in February when he has a ridiculous put-back dunk or he drives and posterizes someone and we all get to gush about it. I hope he plays until he’s 50.

Don’t forget the real winners here.  Rich people that can afford a hundred thousand dollar plus car. 

Rose’s defense lawyer from that case is the same one now hired by Walton.

Thank you for remaining laser-focused on sports. 

He’s a role model for every high school kid, surviving a cock block on the way to second base.

I’m so proud of this comment section.

But what does Kelsey McKinney think of this statement?

yes, but did each individual member of the USMNT issue a statement?

You guys missed this one in your "related articles" section: https://deadspin.com/heres-what-every-member-of-the-usmnt-has-to-say-about-u-1835659843

Hey, remember that time Deadspin said the men’s team doesn’t support the women’s team?

Here’s how every member of the deadspin staff named Kelsey McKinney has to say about this article*

I have reached out to every member of the US Men’s soccer team, former President Obama, and deceased football legend Johan Cruyff for comment. So far I have received no response. I think that says it all.
