I'm surprised commenters here seem to be siding with management when: * They only bought the site about a year ago. * They've replaced a number of women/minority executives with white, male, nepotism hires. * The editorial mandate to "stick to sports" violates the CBA with the GMG Union, which prohibits the owners from having editorial say. * There have been numerous complaints from both writers and commenters on the site about the decline in the quality of the content since the takeover. * About a week ago, obnoxious, auto-playing, with-sound video ads starting covering every article, and the comments in every section complained about them. The writers made a post asking for feedback, which management removed and only then said "stick to sports". I mean really, it just takes a quick look at the comment section of any article to see how mad the commenters have been about this issue. Oh wait, management removed the comments on Deadspin (and no other kinja site). They also drove away some of the most popular writers on the site, like Drew Magary, and that's where the complaints about the decline in quality come from. The whole thing has just been incompetent mismanagement for a long time, and as a long-time reader, has been one of the biggest bummers since Joystiq was shuttered.
