I was highly amused yesterday to see that not only were there a lack of sports articles on Deadspin, The Root had an article up about players in the NCAA getting to profit off their own likenesses, Kotaku had an article up about an NBA game being cancelled, and Gizmodo had one that was titled “Terrorists Win”.

I like, like, 2 basketball teams and no other sports. I read Deadspin DAILY, all year. I don’t want them to stick to sports, and I’m mad, and sad, and I still miss Gawker, and this sucks. 

Fuck Jim Spanfeller, who is a herb

Not a news organization, a dull-as-dishwater ESPN clone. It’s a misguided, outdated, bullshit “we need to broaden our appeal” strategy which, in effect, means, “less personality and no particular viewpoint or voice, less controversy, more bullshit clickbait.”
Of course, ESPN and Buzzfeed already exist, so the“flavorles…

I was there in April of this year. That dog from the pyramids has a name and it is Preztelcoatl. But you are correct that it is indeed a good dog.

THE ANIMAL POSTS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

Honestly, I’m amazed the pic doesn’t have their laptop monitors facing the camera, giving away sensitive information.

Look at the rat’s nest of cables there. Christ. Does no one in that place own a couple of zip ties?

You guys are awesome. It is not hyperbole to say that this site often gets me through the day. Keep up the good work, and for the love of god do not stick to sports.

Seeing as how the dress code for the site right now seems to be “Fuck You”, would that be “Very Fancy” or “Just Post Something That Looks Nice”?

I feel like setting your wedding dress code as “yacht party” is just a way to figure out how many of your guests have coke habits.

HURRRRRR I’M CONFUSED THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SPORTS AND NOW I DON’T KNOW HOW I’M GONNA GIVE YOU MY MONEY HURRRRRR

I see you guys are on strike, and we’re here for you.

Hey Kelsey, I need your help.  What are proper dress code rules when it comes to running a blog, specifically one about not-sports?  Asking for a friend.

*cums*

if we shouldn’t be mixing sports with politics, then teams should stop visiting the White House for photo ops.

You know what? Stick to sports. No more opinions or hot takes. In fact, we shouldn’t even have to read your description of the sports. Just stats. Sports stats. I want a box score and nothing else.

I’m here to support you and the Deadspin staff, even though I’ve lurked around these parts for 10+ years across both of my Gawker accounts (old and lost plus my current one).

And despite your corporate overlords telling you to stick to sports, I hope Deadspin never does because

and I can’t emphasize this enough

I come to Deadspin BECAUSE YOU DON’T JUST STICK TO SPORTS

Bless Ray Ratto.
