Just keep fighting the assholes at the top whenever possible.

What's the overlap of people who want to read/listen to the book in earnest, and people who want to listen to it in full with commentary from rear end Dan and the Scrotum Steve of Barstool Sports? It doesn't matter whether the intended audience is likely to buy the book. If you're providing access to the full work verbatim, recording it and broadcasting it in any sort of public way you're violating copyright, cut and dry

It is so hard to find a job writing about sports and to find a union shop I get why one would take it. Julie got fired from her radio show in Chicago when the station wanted to remove anyone who wasn't a sportsy sport rear end sports dude. Their writing isn't my cup of tea, but I don't particularly hold ill will towards them for taking that job.

DJExile posted:There were allegations of harassment and general creepiness around other staffers. Seemed to vanish as quick as it popped up though. I remember being on the Deadspin comments and there were a LOT of quickly deleted comments (including from starred commenter accounts which then lost their star) about a rape allegation, and then of course comments about how all talk of the rape allegation was covered up. NYTimes didn't hire Howard to just end up a met desk reporter, and he's been buried since. So, something happened. seiferguy posted:She seems cool, but it's a real shame she's working at nu deadspin Multiple Defector (and other ex-Deadspin) folks have publicly stated don't have an issue with the people who work at nu deadspin now. So I figure I ought to follow their lead, even if I don't read nu deadspin myself.

If you could do that, every single notable sporting event on earth would be live-streamed in HD for free on Twitch and YouTube by random people and there'd legally be nothing sports leagues could do about it. It’s the same reason Rifftrax weren’t able to sell their commentaries with the video, it would be wildly illegal even if they would be able to make a case about transforming the work

It's exactly that, it's up to the rights holder/channel owner to DMCA you. There are some streamers so big they get paid to do the watchalongs, like TimTheTatman gets money from Amazon/NFL/Bud Light Seltzer to stream himself watching Thursday Night Football Presented By Bud Light Seltzer

Very good Sally Jenkins column on the NCAA and loving over women's basketball. Unfortunately and unsurprisingly so many of the tactics used by the NCAA to gently caress over the women's game are the same you see from US Soccer in loving over the USWNT.

I just don't understand where or how Simmons as a voice fits in the current media landscape. While I don't listen or watch SAS or Skip I can appreciate their art of trolling and takes. I also understand the sort of right wing/conservative local media sphere where I think there is an inherent ceiling to the potential audience for some one to gain a following as a big fish in a small pond kind of way. But who is the audience for Bill? Is it just an inertia thing? I get that at one point he may have been ground breaking and I do think that he has/had a great eye for talent (I really enjoyed Grantland but checked out on the Ringer a few years ago) but who in 2021 is looking for a coded reference to sidenote 80's rockband?

The weirdest thing about his basketball book was how much of it took place in other dimensions or alternate timelines. Huge chunks of it are chapters about what happens if teams draft differently, or make different trades, or close playoff series go the other way (spoiler: things turn out differently). For a book that he said he wrote because he really wanted to communicate how much he loved NBA basketball, the overall effect was to convince me that the NBA must really suck if the actual on-the-court history is so uninteresting that its self-proclaimed #1 fan spends most of his time writing fanfiction about parallel universe NBAs.
