The insecure, evil GH people didn’t like getting called out on their bullshit, so they decided to disable the comments. Multiple Deadspin staff writers have resigned today. In short, Deadspin is in a tailspin due to Great Hill’s great incompetence.
Lauren Theisen, Laura Wagner, Patrick Redford, and Kelsey McKinney have all quit.
