And I’m a little amused that everyone’s suddenly mourning the death of a site that’s a pale imitation of its golden years… A site that quite literally was held up by the progressively lazier writing of Big Daddy Drew and the occasional dig at Barstool and the Ringer in the hope that the mouthbreathers on the “other side” would flock in and drive ad impressions up. Hell, it’s the same bloody joke that were the layoffs over at SI, where people were railing about the cuts, yet somehow missing the fact that most people gone had a couple of years of experience at the site and weren’t actually there for the good days the various op-ed’s were pining for. Bonus points for self-immolating your career and workplace in the least self-aware way imaginable – OHNOES, the for profit business they work for is trying to get them back in the black – HOW DARE THEY?! and then realizing that actions in the real world have these funny things called consequences.
Also, gotta love the mouthbreathers on Deadspin’s side shouting “SCAB” at people that have the sheer gall to work for a living as opposed to mindlessly following the lemming rush outta Deadspin. Hell, here’s Merriam-Webster’s definition of the word scab and how (in theory) it applies to this situation.
3a: a contemptible person [Eh, the first person to cross the non-existent picket line of habitually outraged twitter morons didn’t seem to be Satan, Goodell, Dave Portnoy’s El Presidente online persona or … Me… after this little tirade]
b(1): a worker who refuses to join a labor union. [Not it either, Chief]
(2): a union member who refuses to strike or returns to work before a strike has ended [ That was not an union strike, it was quite literally rage-quitting on a business, because people didn’t like to do what they’re ostensibly paid to do]
(3): a worker who accepts employment or replaces a union worker during a strike. [Not a strike]
(4): one who works for less than union wages or on nonunion term. [Nowhere was it shown that it was the case, or perhaps the “union’s” terms are to not follow the blatantly legal requirements of management and also not to sabotage the business..]
I tend to agree. I think nostalgia is a powerful thing and clouds people’s judgments. I was never a big Deadspin fan.
Same – outside of Drew’s writing I don’t think I’ve even read another author’s output there in years. What also really irked me is the serious double standard the new guard have against… well… everyone that isn’t them and just the truly astounding levels of hypocrisy:
ie – attacking Barstool for shit they’ve said and done in the past, but as soon as someone unearths the same caliber of shit on their side – “It was so long ago and we changed now… We wokeAF” (paraphrasing) . Or how Deadspin celebrated every fuckup of The Ringer or Barstool, yet are the first to play the victim card when people started queuing up to dance on their grave 😀
I’m a little hurt that neither “You and whose army, cock-knocker?” nor “Shut the fuck up, shitsniffer” made it in.
Sigh…back to the shadows…
First would be scab was run off by Twitter. Stoolies stay in character at all times.
Well it would be a one-day paycheck at best, because isn’t McKenna locking the door when he leaves?
when in doubt, KILL WHITEY
Hippo: that was Tommy Lasorda’s motto back in the day.
Tommy noes wut time it is!
It’s almost like the bad will the he would earn by being a scab might affect his future earnings at more reputable websites might be more detrimental to the dude than his sacrifice of a one-time paycheck right now? Huh.
Which is more redundant in that guy’s handle – the “Barstool” or the “Nate”?
Whenever I see the “barstool” and “stoolie” names, my mind automatically thinks of “stool” as shit, and it just works. I’ll never understand why those folks love online abuse so much. It’s so worthless.
In other shitheel news, blizzcon is starting and it’s going to be a glorious shitshow
What’s up fellow not sticking to sprots guys?
/looks down
Apparently not my genitals
Dude!
FUCK YEAH DAISUKE IS HERE
You see that stooge Alan Goldsher that wrote for deadspin this morning just quit? LOL.
But that engagement on twitter!
That was the best mob in modern history, non-Scorcese division.
I didn’t even get a chance to sharpen my pitchfork 🙁
I like that around here we can talk about how much of a herb Jim Spanfeller is and he can’t do a damned thing about it.
I got a 24 hour Twitter ban for telling him to fuck himself with a flaming cactus.
Totally worth it.
Apparently he could.
The important thing is that G/O fucks right off
“2002 Cincinnati Bengals!”
Like that has to be qualified with “2002”…
I mean you don’t want to so far as to go with “2019 Cincinnati Bengals”; there might be kids around.
Belgium!
I get that! I really do.
I really enjoy it when the “A Selection Of” tag is used right before the “Assholes” tag
Balls, did you hijack Low Commander’s account for this comment?
“A selection of assholes” would make for good searchin’!
