Deadspin is pure trash and has always been. I won’t even click on it to give them the views. They’re the worst.
To be clear, this is zombie-Deadspin and has nothing to do with the website that existed for the past decade or so. all those folks now write at Defector.com. The current Deadspin is the hollowed-out husk left behind after the VCs ruined it.
