I feel this has to be the new thread title in some way.

The Vox Media stuff is always weird because Vox.com has like a daily article up about greedy CEOs laying off people to line their pockets with more money.

When the layoffs happened a bunch of writers on Vox.com had to rush to Twitter to explain "none of us on Vox.com were fired so you can still pretend we're the good guys" completely ignoring their company is one of the most exploitative in all of media.

I'm happy that I'm not the only one who noticed that.

Still is it possible for anyone to be worse than HuffPo?

So what exactly is The Athletic supposed to be? A more local version of SI? I've just heard the name mentioned a few times, but not much else.

I signed up for a few trial and was immediately greeted with a nice story on the Philadelphia Unions youth players.

Overwatch pro calls opponent “a loving human being”; ESPN reporter who covers story revealed to have a bunch of old tweets calling people the same thing, as well as “oval office” and “nigga”:

I'm still dumbstruck everytime I see the eSports category on ESPN and that it has commentators.

I mean Twitch and other places I get, but it almost feels like throwback to early ESPN which was filled with weird poo poo and pro wrestling.
