No, but the probably-management-pushed twitter promotion of the article is just asking for an ensuing shitstorm.

His response has been pretty good to see; I don't know why you're more upset about it than him

I dont think harassing lowly paid freelance writers is the way to go but they can go off I guess. He can go cash in their thanks tweets lol

Read the rest of the guys response. Its about five tweets long. Its a reasonable response.

If you support anyone but the deadspin writers in this story you are on the wrong side

This is a sports blog. Lol

I agree. Its commendable to stand by your convictions. I applaud on em it. But life moves on. And the severity of what happened...is pretty minor...lol its a sports blog who were told to stick to sports related material. If others want to move in with those parameters fail to see how thats end of the world.

I quit my job when our direction changed; didnt go on a vendetta against the company

On one hand youre trying to downplay it as its just a sports blog

On the other youre talking about the importance of careers

So yes, this was a career to people. So the fact that literally every employee was willing to quit over what happened means it must be important

Scabbing is shitty, this guy did a shitty thing and people called him out for it

The newly unemployed may have gotten some good will with twitter hate mob, but at most he will only get a couple patreon dollars, and he has now shown to be easily swayed and doesn't take his employment seriously.
It will be hard for him to find another job in the field because ultimately it's the managers who do the hiring, not the woke writers and editors that he tried to suck up with this move.

Those entitled privileged quitters need to go learn to code instead of harassing young blood who actually do the job they are hired to do.

I was thinking the same thing. This guy was getting reamed on Twitter, then responds by saying some of them might now be his friends. Wtf?!

Reminder that Deadspin is so thirsty for new content they've literally been republishing years old work with new publication dates to make it look like it's not beyond the life support stage.
