I hate using advertising blocking apps, but sometimes it gets so bad it’s intolerable. This is how I solved the problem on my PC:

How can you even tell if a sheriff’s deputy is concussed?

I wanted to take this opportunity to say that I am not going to continue reading Deadspin due to the management’s lack of concern for the user experience.

The site is ad-free. So it’s could be (a) per their website, if you don’t commit to a year subscription, you pay $9.99/month (most likely), so some non-committal readers who forget to cancel/change plan are getting bilked (most likely); (b) they are selling two-year paid-in-advance plans, and booking all the revenue…

The Athletic comment section is entirely made up of people going “Great article! This is why I pay for the Athletic!”
