- This is just a tweet, it's safe :) - ty97 Nov 1, 09:20
Sigh. -- nm - Tim Nov 1, 09:13
I'd love to read the story of how this went down. -- nm -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 09:13 21
- Owner: "Stick to sports.". Editors and writers: " Fuck you, we're out." -- nm - TWuG Nov 1, 09:14 20
  - You mean if you don't do what your boss tells you to do there could be consequences??? - Cuzzin Todd Nov 1, 09:20 12
    - if you think it was only a sports website you weren't paying attention. doubly so if you bought it thinking that. -- nm - mafic Nov 1, 10:08 2
      - But, when I buy it, if it isn't a sports website, I can make it one. Even if it sold shoes before. Look, I'm not saying this was well handled. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 1, 10:22
      - They actually lied about the types of readership to say sports are the most popular articles - Will Hunting Nov 1, 10:17
    - Everything I read say it never was a sports site though, not even close. - ty97 Nov 1, 09:22 8
      - you are bang on. -- nm* - Boooker Nov 1, 09:47

        From what I understand, it's more like a big mall getting sold, and the owners saying "everyone needs be a shoe store." - JaxSean Nov 1, 10:16
        
        when all of your employees quit I'd say it speaks far more to poor management. -- nm - mafic Nov 1, 10:11
        
        Insubordination is such a terrible conceit. -- nm - Qale Nov 1, 09:46
        
        You mean shitty bosses might suffer the consequences of no longer having employees -- nm - TWuG Nov 1, 09:43 1
        
        True. I think we've all been there with crap bosses at one time or another. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 1, 09:47
      - Yeah, it had a wide range of things they would touch on. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 1, 09:23
  - This even took place after the Kotaku situation too. -- nm - Shaun Nov 1, 09:16
  - Longer version - Beryllium Nov 1, 09:16 5
    - I'd insert the owners adding Automatic video play ads when you went in an article as well. That seemed to set the tone of employer vs employees -- nm* - Boooker Nov 1, 09:49 4
      - vs employee and readers as they caught a shit ton of flak over that -- nm - Boooker Nov 1, 09:50 3
        
        This was the Kotaku thing I mentioned. - Shaun Nov 1, 09:52 2
        
        They want to make 'journalism' easy, cheap and cursory - Will Hunting Nov 1, 10:03
        
        ahh, I thought that originated at Deadspin. -- nm - Beaker Nov 1, 09:55
