I don't think this iteration of Deadspin is the same company as that one. I think this sale and mass firing is the second one for them.

it isn’t
this is (was) deadspin 3.0
after gawker sold to Univision, Univision sold to private equity. Shortly after that, the “original” deadspin’s entire staff quit en masse. Those were the manti teo deadspin.

Those folks currently run a site called “defector” and it’s pretty good if you liked the old deadspin. It’s entirely employee owned

ETA didn’t see feral’s post above. Same…
