I think your point is valid, but I doubt we’ll see them disappear anytime soon. These kind of things have long been the tools of vulgar religion, whether we are talking about the passion plays and mystery plays of the Medieval or modern hell houses. I think it no accident though that these are methods used by the…

It would not surprise me if you peeled back the corporate layers and Peter Thiel was there bankrolling the purchase of the sites. That is as rational explanation for this shit as anything else. 

They are either monumentally incompetent, or so monumentally petty as to be throwing millions of dollars down a black hole to destroy the site as revenge for some sort of perceived slight.

Just wanted to say it fucking blows that Barry got fired yesterday. There are relatively few constants left in life, but Barry writing the first article of the day for Deadspin was one of them. I’ve been coming to Deadspin regularly for about 10 years now. I love this place. So many laughs, so many great reads. The…

Farmers has pulled Spanfeller’s big ad buy. This is the type of incompetence that deserves an ESPN 30 For 30. 

They’ve seen everything. Guess they were sick of hearing it too.

Jim Spanfeller still buys his Dockers from the husky boys section. 

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

Not sure there’s gonna be a better place to post this, so here we go:

Drew, is it true that neither Jim Spanfeller nor Paul Maidment ever had friends, a girlfriend, made any sports team, or has seen The Godfather? Is it also true that Jim smells like sweaty hobo taint and Paul smells like a urinal puck?

The Daily Mail is probably the worst offender. It often seems like their articles are just there as a starting point for people to spew all kinds of bile towards Meghan. Perhaps some of the commenters are actually the writers, saying the kinds of things that they wish they could say in their actual articles.

It certainly makes it easier for the tabloids to feed into populist sentiments that the establishment is protecting its own interests, conveniently forgetting that no single actor colludes with British government more effectively than the tabloids. Oh and of course, how do they make time for this but cannot agree on…

Actually shocked. Rare to feel proud of our MPs, especially at this time where no one in this country can agree on a single damn thing. Seeing the support journalist Sarah Ahmed has had bringing a case against unequal pay at the BBC has had, has also been great. Its still frustrating that there is a need to use all…

This is a great show show of support, but I have a feeling it will only cause her more problems with the other royals and the tabloid media who already hate her.

Nice to see the British MP’s display more grace and leadership than the Bros running G/O Media.

That subheader has been around for a while, I’d actually be curious to see if it was changed around the time the new mgmt took over.

You beat me to it.  Came in here to say the true welfare queens have names like Amazon and Exxon and Verizon

That’s why I’m sick of other working poor people shitting on those who get assistance. It only benefits the elites. They don’t want people to unite with a common cause.

Meanwhile Amazon, Exxon,General Electric, Verizon, and others paid no federal income tax, but yes go after these few cases to distract us from how we are being screwed by big corporations.

How is this related to sports? You guys should stick to sports...
