Sports news and commentary Deadspin has been sold again — and its entire staff has been laid off.
Deadspin, once owned by Gawker Media, became part of G/O Media in 2019. In a memo to company staff Monday, G/O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller announced that Deadspin was sold to European firm Lineup Publishing.
With the sale, the staff of Deadspin is getting pink-slipped. “Deadspin’s new owners have made the decision to not carry over any of the site’s existing staff and instead build a new team more in line with their editorial vision for the brand,” Spanfeller wrote in the memo. “While the new owners plan to be reverential to Deadpin’s unique voice, they plan to take a different content approach regarding the site’s overall sports coverage. This unfortunately means that we will be parting ways with those impacted staff members, who were notified earlier today.”

Each time I hear of lay-offs or a closing of a leftist media outlet, it brings a tear of happiness to my eyes.

Well then, go on STRIKE and ‘teach the man a lesson’.
Oh yeah, never mind, you’ve already been fired. LOL!!!!
