Lame sports outlet totally revamping after being purchased by European company
Staff at the leftist sports outlet Deadspin were informed on Monday that a European company bought out their publication and is firing all employees.

The notice explained the new owners are going to keep the operation running under a new team “more in line with their editorial vision for the brand.”
Several X users accurately pointed out the outlet didn’t last long after a scandal where Deadspin writer Carron J. Phillips incorrectly labeled a child Kansas City Chiefs fan a “racist” who attended a game wearing “black face.”
In his article, Phillips posted a misleading image of the boy with black face paint on one side of his face and didn’t reveal the other side of his face was painted red.
The family of the 9-year-old kid falsely accused by Deadspin of wearing “blackface” filed a lawsuit against the outlet last month, potentially contributing to the recent sale.

Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy posted a celebratory video to social media Monday as he’s been feuding with the far-left outlet for years.
Drinking a bottle of champagne while floating in a pool, Portnoy gave a “cheers” to the camera and said, “To Deadspin! Everybody getting fired again. Those motherfuckers just don’t get it. Being miserable, hating life, never laughing… it’s never gonna pay the bills. See you motherfuckers on the employment line again.”
Damn. Hate to see it. #deadspin https://t.co/MTNUKg3ItL pic.twitter.com/3Q1xXho7fY

The saying, “Get woke, go broke,” is perfectly fitting in this situation as yet another establishment outlet falls while alternative media surges.
