You said everything I wanted to say, right down to the subscription fee. This is the best website on the internet and it’s being ruined by assholes for no reason and it fucking sucks. I’d pay $20/month and feel like a damn hero doing it. Oh and tell Jim Spanfeller to g/o fuck himself.

This sounds dumb to me, but: I had myself a bit of a worry about where we’re all going to get the commentariat together. Like, I can follow Drew and Barry and David and Dracubert et al through other social media like Twitter (ugh), but what about you guys.

I am super scared about the Williams-Sonoma catalog hater’s guide as well - I read and re-read it every year like a deranged fangirl and laugh out loud EVERY FUCKING TIME.

He has changed his icon on Twitter to GMG Union logo and has been broadly supportive and vocal.

I would happily follow this group to another site as well even behind a paywall. Even if I still couldn’t participate in the conversation, but it would be more fun to not be grey there too. 

I am a huge fan, Drew, and I hate sports. I know I’m not Deadspin’s target demographic because I’m a woman in her 40s who doesn’t give a flying fuck about sports, but I came here for you because I think your writing is fantastic, and that led me to other articles and writers whom I would never have found if it wasn’t…

WE.

Man, that reading podcast made me so angry/sad. I grew up in Montessori in the 70s and phonics was central to the language curriculum.

Well they fired Barry and crapped all over the staff and site but at least they still have all that sweet sweet Farmers’ cash!

I have worked at several community college libraries over the years, and one of the things that made me furious, and broke my heart was how ill prepared many black students were for college. These were not lazy kids. They were smart, engaging, and wanted to learn. They believed that a college degree was important, and…

I’ll support Drew and the other writers still here, as long as they #sticktosports. If they get kicked, I’ll follow them wherever they go. If they get Barstool Brain Implants instead, then I’ll move on. It’s about the people - wherever they may end, don’t count on liking their new corporate overlords just for hiring…

Hi welcome to Deadspin Bob, I’ve been reading this site since 2007 every day and this is the way it’s always been here. It’s a great site because it’s not purely about sports. If you want a sports site, there are literally tens of thousands of them that will give you the fucking box score and some pithy postgame…

I prefer a world where deadspin continues to exist, so I will continue to click, to read. But it’s cool if we continue to torch Jim through the comments on every article for now until eternity. Clearly Jim has thin skin, and I take solace in that it has come to this because he is the competing against Trump for world’s…

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

Hey Drew. You’re the best, and good luck with the brain and everything.

I know something is amiss since I opened DS this morning and didn’t see a single article. I desperately want to tell the staff to stick it to your corporate overlords, however it is not my job to lose. I hope you all find a way to stick together through the tension you are experiencing at the office. If the owners…

THIS ISN’T 100% ABOUT SPORTZ, I’M NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN. I WANT ALL SPORTS ALL THE TIME AND NO OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE OUTSIDE WORLD THAT COULD MAKE ME A BETTER AND MORE INFORMED PERSON. THANKS.

America will devolve into city states with terrifying, Mad Max style hellscapes between them. My bucolic, little college city will become Bartertown.

I graduated high school in Detroit in 1979. Let me tell you a story.
