Racing is a sport, right?  Just want to make sure this site doesn’t get fucked too

I see on Twitter that David Roth (formerly at Deadspin) is sharing articles written by freelancers and published today on Deadspin. That seems very fair of him.

No one gives a fuck, Stick to politics!

Literally the best part of the Gawker now whatever group has been the comment section. I’m still looking for a replacement to Splinter and if this goes my internet usage will drop significantly.

Big ol +1 to all that.

Hey Torch, man, thanks for a bunch of good times here. I’m sorry the site is exploding due to weaponized incompetence, but if it’s any consolation the work you and your colleagues do is great, and I am confident it will soon be recognized by someone who knows how to, say, own and operate a media website.

So Deadspin’s fucked thanks to Jimmy’s inability to run a successful business. Deadspin has now had all its comments turned off and several staffers have very publicly quit after the firing yesterday.

Try harder. This is a weak reason for not eating meat substitutes.

Sticking it to powerful people who are fucking up a good thing with disingenuous pleas to “avoid controversy” and “stick to sports” is a good thing.

No. What unique merits would it even have? It is designed specifically to appeal to people who like ground beef but not its ethical, ecological, and cholesterol impacts.

Well, it shouldn’t be too hard when traveling along the 401 corridor between Windsor and London - they don’t exist.

Yeah, the Impossible Whopper is a reasonable facsimile of a Whopper. Beyond meat is just a different creature altogether: not that bad, but nothing like real beef.

It had to have been mostly or completely written before things blew up. A piece like this doesn’t get written all at once. 

I would guess the story was submitted before all this shit went down

Looks like the mini-24 hour strike is over? Nice to see you are back Drew. Let us know if we need to start meeting with you and the gang somewhere else. You know, this venue is cool and all, but the new owners are kinda dicks. We can always try somewhere new...

A question for the Funbag: why should I keep reading anything on this website after Jim Spanfeller and Paul Maidment went to the lengths of firing Barry, like cowards, for the dumbest of reasons?

I want to support the writers here—this is both the best website that exists, and has ever existed, and the best sports…

#StickToSports

They want to kill this place.

A good Kotaku blog post for these times.

And here I thought that was going to be about that asshole Paul Maidment and how he fired the Deadspin Editor-in-Chief.
