God damn respect to whoever figured out they could take something that wouldn’t sell for $19.95 at Spencer’s gift and rebrand it at three quarters of one million US dollars and sell 30 of them.

What you see here hinges on whether you believe that “Make America Great Again” is a dog whistle meant to unite racists, misogynists, and homophobes under one umbrella, or you’re delusional and don’t care about people who aren’t white men.

Yeah, that’s right. Always believe the narrative given to you by the media, and never question it. It’s not like they ever lied to you before, right? Be a Cool Bro and ridicule anyone who doesn’t suckle at the same teat as you and dares to imply what we all ready suspect, even though this article right fucking here co…

That’s why his show was really cancelled. That's also what "pizzagate" was about (mysteriously not covered by the media) and what the Clinton's "Private getaway retreat" for the wealthy is. These are our politicians, our judges, our wealthy. There is no way they will allow any investigation to take place. Harvey…

Anyone find this kind of silly given the context of murdering hundreds of people in a death game built around the same style of another game on the same engine which was built on the story of japanese school children mudering each other that was stolen by a random white lady for a popular book then movie series?

Yep nothing to see here! 20-year olds making jokes about rape is totally normal! *facepalm*

Is performative contrition not just a performance? The actions are what really matter. The continued friendship with a sexual abuser (Howard) and the continued employment of a serial sexual harasser (Burneko) speak far more than some words when you’re caught with your pants down.

This is a great comment and deserves to be higher. 

Applying adult standards to children is the very opposite of maturity. This idea that anyone cares what you said when you were 12 reeks of ego. I had a grade school “bully” apologize to me years later. I didnt even remember it. The apology wasnt for me at all, it was for him. Incidentally, he was an asshole as an…

IF IT NEVER CAME OUT HE’D HAVE NEVER WRITTEN THIS. HE’S NOT SORRY & NEITHER ARE YOU. FUCK BARRY. 

This is probably the closest anyone has come to my thoughts on this topic as a whole. Both what you said, but also the way Deadspin people seem to downplay their past comments when comparing them to Barstool and others. They call people out (correctly most of the time) for awful shit, but then their own past rape…

“Everything I did was normal at the time.”

“Twelve years ago, I received no such feedback; in fact, it was the opposite—all those +1s. I was allowed and encouraged to be cruel, and so I was.”

Barry, here’s the positive: i’m a huge fan of your work here on the site, and have been since i started reading it regularly 7 or 8 years ago. the site has continue to progress, and to be more progressive, over that time.

Seriously.

I second this. I’ve commented here since 2007. I hardly ever get out of the greys. I know i’m not jokey like guys on here, but I like to talk about sports!

Maybe you could pull women out of the greys here a bit more often? I know there aren’t many of us, but the comments section on your posts is always a guaranteed sausage fest.

Drew – Your “reckoning” rings hollow. It’s easy to regret your sexist and homophobic comments now that you’ve plied them (among other things) to become successful and wealthy. And your “reckoning” will help keep you successful and wealthy given that your readership base has become progressive and left-leaning. Seems…

“Fuck it I’m going deep” comes from 4chan’s /sp/ board. The same 4chan that is basically world HQ of the alt right online. All the longtime Deadspin writers were on /sp/. Petchesky actually used his real name on /sphl/. So I would hold off on buying into how genuine all these apologies are.

Oh, great. Another self-flagellating Portnoy complaint.
