Anyone who wants to keep David Roth, one of this site’s most eloquent writers, relegated to autoplay videos rather than let him share his gifted writing in articles such as this, not only lacks basic business sense but also common sense. It’s a damn shame that recent events dictate that we know him more for his…
They fired Barry. So I guess it is time to start burning everything.
Roth, I’ve said it before and will say it again, but no writer anywhere has a better understanding of the grey mush in this donut’s head and it makes me deeply concerned for your well-being.
Man I am nervously counting down the hours before all of you guys get canned by the Business Brain Genius Patrol. Seriously, how much would it cost to get a new site up and running? I’m sure we can crowdfund this shit.
Roth is always sticking to sports because every article he writes is a 500 foot home run.
Feels like this or Funbag later today will almost certainly be the end as hedge fund dipshits pull the plug as quickly as they did with Splinter.
This article is very good. If your bosses ever shut you down I do hope you and some departed Deadspin and Gawker writers will set up some sort of worker-led site funded through subscriptions or Patreon or something. I would pay $15 a month or so to read your columns, which I have to imagine is more than my page views…
David, seriously if this clown succeeds in killing Deadspin/Kinja which appears to be his goal, please leave a forwarding address, I’m not the only one who finds your commentary indispensable and I forward all of your Trump dissections to my 89 year old Mom who’s a big fan.
I came here looking for a summary of last night's games, but instead what I found was a unique and compelling voice that is interested in many topics not just the standard fluff. I think I will be coming back to this site for years to come, as long as there are no idiotic draconian policy changes designed solely to…
The revolution will not be full of ad buys.
This dude has nothing on the speed with which the vulture capitalists stole the credibility of this site.
Time to send this message again, apparently....
Yeah, don’t ever stick to sports. You’d have to be a goddamn fool to think it’s smart business to neuter the site’s distinguishing characteristic. Christ, anyone who’s ever been in digital publishing for 3 minutes understands a distinctive brand identity is EVERYTHING.
What feels like decades ago, Trump talked about actively targeting the families of terrorists, and killing them. He probably sees the deaths of these kids as a big win.
They don’t want to be successful managers. They want to pay themselves as much much money as they can while slowly bankrupting the place. Then they’ll fuck off out of there with no consequences for themselves.
GAHHH
It's a miracle they can even convince other teams to play them. Next year they'll be 8-0 at this point because everyone else will be like... We can take the loss, we forfeit.
Asthmatic, here. Ventolin is a bronchodilator. It opens up the bronchial passages to allow easier breathing. It’s also a stimulant that can increase your blood pressure and heart rate. That’s assuming, as other have pointed out, that it’s actually albuterol in the canister at the prescribed dosage.
