I suppose the explanation to your questions, as they have been presented, is that he was ignorant to the gesture (and many other aspects of hitler, fascism and the nazi regime, according to the panels findings). When presented with the controversy, shown what gesture he was accused of mimicking, he presented your…

I cannot (actually, I can) Deadspin is still pushing this Wayne Hennessey thing as some sort of perfect example of how a player got away with being a racist dick. 

This is just so stupid. Why must we frame this headline around Willy getting owned? He made a good defensive effort and Ross made a better athletic move to avoid and go under the hoop. So Deadspin creates a headline that is meant to make a basic defensive play seem like a schoolyard owning. To what point? I suppose…

This article just a day after this site essentially claimed the Crystal Palace goalie is a nazi because of a freeze frame shot is so fresh. 

Right, and I think the group of fans that travel to away games is fairly consistent, so may be familiar with who the culprit is. Then the whole aspect that it gives your whole fanbase a bad name, threatens further penalties for the club and it’s fans, and perhaps that may provide enough incentive for other fans to…

It’d be nice if there was some self policing by the other fans. They see the banned racist, report their ass to the stadium security.

Listen, we all know Samer wrote this article solely because of the job offer from Portnoy. It gives him the perfect opportunity to link anything Kirk does to being a bad person who associates with, in Samer’s opinion, shitty people. Was any Deadspin reader clamoring for an update on Kirk Minihane? No. But Deadspin…

There’s not been enough of a mention to the fact that Marchand tied up Eller before Eller could even get his gloves off. He basically skated up to him, bear hugged his hands and started punching him. It would have been a different thing entirely if he had just said something like ‘you want to go’, squared him up,…

Remember when Deadspin sold t-shirts that just said Deadspin?

Nick, thanks for writing about Clemson. Several corrections: Danny Ford’s run, including the national title, was in the early 80s, not 90s. Ben Boulware was not on the team last year. His final game was the 2017 National Championship game. And he now runs a gym in South Carolina. Clemson is dubbed WRU, with the likes…

Its actually been pretty widely condemned by the readers from what I have seen on their reddit page. Most are shocked the guy is still employed.

“for unclear reasons”... that are completely clear in the statement....

Why is this an article after the quarterfinals? 

I forgot about that article. I remember at the time how absurd it seemed. Deadspin writers have such a short memory for their own awful articles, but file away every crass joke the rest of the internet makes. Her link above to Barstool being racist is about the time they had a guest on their daily rundown who said…
