Deadspin was the site which, way back in 2010, published the leaked financial statements of several MLB teams. The site apparently went downhill since then, increasingly become focused on politics instead of sports.
One of its more infamous recent works was the piece accusing a 9-year-old Chiefs fan of wearing blackface at an NFL game, and purposefully not showing photos which made it clear his face was painted in the red and black team colors. This "reporting" got the site sued by the kid's parents.
Some time ago new management came in and told staff to stop with the politics and stick to sports. The staff evidently just couldn't help itself and continued as before. The site kept losing money, and here we are.
