Declan MacManus posted:afaik the “stick to sports” mandate was really about not criticizing g/o’s internal practices especially w/r/t advertising (which, by the way, does make every gmg website a fuckin nightmare to read) I vaguely remember when Greenwell left, Magary mentioned what happened to Kissing Suzy Kolber once Uproxx took it over - that could be why the staffers put up such a fight, given KSK's connection to Deadspin. It was probably Spanfeller's goal - a boring site with steady traffic. The X-man cometh fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Nov 6, 2019 |

UnDeadspin has started slowing down - I've seen articles from Roth, Theisen, and Paez-Pumar that haven't gotten retweeted. Following individual writers is the best way to go.

Is there a possibility they'll tell some junior Onion writer - "We're going to publish all your articles under Onion/Deadspin now, if you don't like it you're fired"?

harperdc posted:are the new positions joining into the same union as Deadspin Classic had? I'm not sure, which was part of the issue. That's what the new writers said, and the union never disputed it. DiCaro has taken a lot of principled stands, it's really disappointing to see her join a company that's being sued for sex discrimination. The article that started things is pretty clear about the environment Spanfeller created.
