In 2019, 86% of speakers on The Ringer Podcast Network were white. We have zero black editors. We have zero black writers assigned full time to the NBA or NFL beats. Our union is currently bargaining for practices to improve our diversity and inclusion.


Ryen coming in being high paid and outside of the union basically had them out to get him from the start.

I love Russillo and think that he will be back just fine in no time.

Also, he specifically said he didn’t vote for Trump, but that also he didn’t vote for Obama twice

I listened to the pod specifically because I saw people on Twitter saying Ryen came out as a Trump voter.

I’m listening to the part with Foxworth and it’s like when a really conservative dad finds out his son is gay. “I’m not mad, I’m just trying to understand”

that Ringer staff said they wouldn't do any fluffy movie podcasts like that during "such a time if reflection and intensity" or some bull shite like that.

I think they are aiming for ground floor hires instead of name people with credit.

PS Simmons has done this time and time again, and promoted the hell out of them, only to see them fail for lack of listeners. The successful ones often leave for greener pastures and more power to them.

Micah Peters had a random music pod but that's about it I can think of that.

Now this happens. J&J being the most obvious example.


Honestly, Nephew Kyle having his job through pure nepotism is probably what pisses off most of the upset staffers.

Ringer fc was mostly minority guys. But they haven’t had a new episode since December.

Jemele hill has that wire podcast. But she’s simply unlikeable, and that has nothing to do with her race.

Agreed. There was a post on reddit that showed he had more twitter followers than half
the staff.

They’ve had multiple podcasts release that had a moment that he was clearly supposed to cut out and just didn’t

Why are people still apologizing?

It's the Animal House mantra:

"They're going to nail us no matter what we do!"

"But we're not going to sit here and let you bad mouth the United States of America."

And isn't his dad a retired cop or something??? Think how bad he must hate himself right now. He probably can't sleep he's so eaten up by his whiteness.

And BTW, Simmons should just fire the entire f-ing commune of idiots there and just have him and Rusillo and Bill's old friends doing podcasts.

frick those writers. Nobody reads that shite anyway. And I guarantee the only podcasts that get major hits are BS, Rewatchables and some of the football stuff Rusillo does. That's all I used to listen to.

All he has to do is hire 4 or 5 dudes who don't give a shite about politics and who love movies and sports to fill the gap. Hell, I'd probably do it for half of what those idiots are making.

Dudes in here actually think Spotify is going to force Russillo out when they just gave a fortune to Rogan, who is hated by the left

It's the same folks who believe 5G is being implanted in their wrist. What else would you expect?

Spotify probably doesn’t want any drama after investing $200M in The Ringer.

The last two weeks have been unbearable for the ringer podcasts. The BS pod is all about the protests, no rewatchables, the new living black in America garbage.

The worst is the new Wire pod. I would have been all about that but they fricking hired Jemelle Hill to Co-host it. Yea, frick that noise.
