This hurts more than it probably should for being a website that was as much about food and poop jokes as it was about sports, but it was such a comfort to me. Being a bleeding heart liberal, comic book reading, footbaw lover, Deadspin felt like it was made for me. I even read the blogs about soccer and hockey for…

And with that, I’m out. I’m deleting the bookmarks and following as many of the writers (current and former) as I can on Twitter but I will not give any further clicks to any of the Giz sites. And I say that as someone who had Deadspin, Gawker and/or Giz open in a tab during my workday for the past 10+ years. Thank…

Just came here to say, with all my heart, fuck Spanfeller. Deadspin was a fantastic website that you ruined with your dipshit ineptitude. If you hadn’t fucked things up so bad I would literally be sitting here reading it right now, while ALSO waiting to read it later today when the Jamboroo comes out.  

More than *any other sites on the web* I’ve frequented both Gizmodo, and Jalopnik, *daily* for more than a decade, and the single reason has been the *comments section*. [Ironically, for a long time, I didn’t even realize the two sites were related] There are numerous other sites where you can learn about the latest…

Deadspin did great work, and their voices were important in what they did.

We’ll meet again.

So your executives flooded the blogs with ads and auto-play videos on Deadspin, fired the editor, incited a revolt by the readers and the writers, lost basically the entire staff, and then killed the comments section of the remaining posts? And turned off the feedback email because they didn’t like what they were…

Gizmodo was founded on the idea that it’s important to call bullshit on powerful institutions and there are few companies more powerful in the early 21st century than the tech giants who control what we can and cannot say.

It makes me so sad to see the death throes of this site at the hands of its new owners. For years I’ve come here for great content on all kinds of topics, and especially the snarky political content. The new owners don’t seem to understand that that’s what actually made these sites great and differentiated them from…

It’s heartening to me to see the solidarity from the Deadspin staff. There’s never been a better website on the internet and I can’t believe how it was killed. Deadspin forever.

I was radicalized by punk rock and Deadspin.

Hi, fuck your executives for murdering deadspin.

There could be a list of best foods to eat with sporks.

The thing that I like best about David Roth writing about Trump is that he writes it at such a level that, if Trump were ever actually arsed to read it, he could not possibly comprehend it. Unlike the Boaster-in-Chief, David really does have the best words.

Just wishing all of you the best. This situation sucks, your management sucks even worse, and I hope all the staff makes it through to the other side at a place where you’re actually appreciated.

You know, if you resurrect Foodspin, you could Stick to Sprouts.

As someone who was once part of a similar insurrection against arrogant, incompetent, and condescending management, I want to applaud all of y’all for today’s showing. I’m sure you’re simultaneously enjoying the fun of mutiny while also understanding the risk. Please also know how much it means to us here in the feebl…

Can you let me know when you will be returning to sports coverage so I can go back to checking in once or twice per day? I have a lot to do today at work and all of these posts about non-sports topics are distracting because I Must Read Every Single One of Them. Whereas with the sports stuff I really only care if its…

This article is very good. If your bosses ever shut you down I do hope you and some departed Deadspin and Gawker writers will set up some sort of worker-led site funded through subscriptions or Patreon or something. I would pay $15 a month or so to read your columns, which I have to imagine is more than my page views…

Man, I love people who self-own through being hilariously inept. You know, pumpkin thieves, thin-skinned vulture capitalist owners of blog sites, those kinds of folks.
