No idea, but the fact that every single employee was terminated at the same time and with only a 30-minute notice makes me think they are going to want the exact opposite from future employees.


we can only hope, but it sounds to me like they just bought the rights to use the name and its internet address

"deadspin lineup publishing" sounds like a pretty catchy name

How dumb is Jessica Valenti? She said "The feminist sports book weve all been waiting for." I mean if that's not the dumbest thing ever written, it's close.

Deadspin yesterday:

“We are soo important!! Read what we write and repeat it!! We are the standard!! We went to “J School”!! We’re better than you!! This is what we believe so you now need to believe it too!! Read our hit pieces!!! We are soo intelligent and progressive!! You plebes are just stupid!!

Deadspin today:

“What are we gonna do!!! We have been terminated!! How will people function without our opinions!?!? It’s not supposed to be about the money and greed!!! It’s not supposed to be about money and Grrreeeeedddd!!!!!! Reeeee!!!

I can't even fathom how batshit crazy DiCaro's book must be. She actually sued Deadspin for sexism because they promoted a man to editor-in-chief instead of her. Yet she continued to work for Deadspin until the bitter end.

So we just got half an hour's notice that Deadspin has been sold to a European startup and they're not taking any staff. Already locked out a company slack and our laptops.
