The sponsored ads go to external sites (which by the way most likely have some tracking that benefits GMG), but the “Commerce Content” is hosted on GMG sites and contain a link to another site that kicks back a percentage. The latter has small-print copy half-assedly explaining the relationship. Try to keep up.

The fully-fledged ads have “sponsored” in a font that’s smaller than the rest of the body copy, sitting above an eye-catching headline and photo.

No, it’s SponCon, which in SI’s case here is admittedly a little more shrouded in an original-content wrapper than what the GMG sites do, but the effect is the same: partnership with a corporate entity leading to the use of editorial space for the purposes of directly benefiting said entity. When some faceless GMG…

Three of the first six items on the main Deadspin page are ads that are designed to look like articles, and God knows the Kinja Deals posts are loaded with sponsor-affiliated content. I think you guys can find a more worthy target than this.

The problem is that the next game for Boston College is the Hockey East semifinals, which are played tomorrow night at TD Garden in a double-header format. BU-Northeastern plays at 4, and then BC plays UMass, the No. 2 team in the country, about an hour after the first game’s over. No way in hell is Hockey East going…

Yup. Not sure why people just immediately assume that there’s no transfer of ownership when they publish things on a site they don’t actually pay for. Doesn’t really matter that your name and photo is on it.

There is absolutely no reason to be nice to someone like Tucker Carlson. And there’s also absolutely no reason to hold back from speaking one’s mind at Davos. This guy’s just smart enough to know that he’s smart enough to speak truth to power, and to know that pissing off powerful people, rich people, and…

Your social media is very much not your private life. At least it isn’t if you make your posts visible to anyone. 

I think you might be being generous with the logic there, though at least in that case it’s a shitty joke with some kind of context, vs. just a shitty joke.

I’m giving you a star for this because I have absolutely no idea what it means. This is the Andy Warhol Burger King ad of kinja.

Martin Richard was 8 years old.

Yeah, because you guys are fucking idiots. I don’t know why you think any of us who won’t be on the wrong side of history give a good God damn about you people calling us “hateful.” You fucking snowflakes.

I LIVE A VERY FULL LIFE I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW.

I would argue that O’Sullivan’s dominance is superior to Woods’s. Particularly considering his Century mark. Also, golf’s not the best comparison because of competition and payout structures. Tennis is probably better, though even then, purse sizes make it difficult to square them.

Honestly if anyone was as good as Ronnie at an individual sport or game like bowling, golf, poker, etc., in the United States, they’d be a massive celebrity. I find myself watching YouTube videos of his century breaks for hours, constantly amazed at how he either avoids getting himself into trouble, or deftly gets…

I don’t care if five people in the world like this, I’m proud to be one of them. Well done.

Redskins fans undeniably deserve all of this. There’s no argument against it that holds water. Stop rooting for the racist-ass business with the shitty owner who treats you like shit. Stop acting like your support of a professional sports team is in some way a useful part of your identity. Stop spending money to sit…

Oh agreed. That’s a shitload of running for plays that never have anything to do with you. But you do generally get to make more tackles, so I guess that’s a little bit better.

Sorry, but you’re dead wrong about the most frustrating defense to play (though you got close). Think about being a lineman in football - even a really good one. You’re Aaron Donald. Against Philadelphia, you had one solo tackle and one assisted tackle. You were on the field for 64 snaps. That means that 62 times on…

Simmer down.
