Deadspin has been Sold to a European Firm, and Every Employee has been Fired and Terminated

NewYork | USA

Deadspin, the renowned sports news blog/site that brought attention to a major controversial story last year involving a 9-year-old boy donning blackface and a Native American headdress while wearing the Kansas City Chiefs colors, has been acquired by a European firm. CEO Jim Spanfeller announced in a company-wide email on Monday that the entire company has been sold, resulting in the termination of all employees. Staff members at Deadspin received notification that none of them would transition to the new ownership. The new owners have opted not to retain any of the existing staff and plan to assemble a new team that aligns more closely with their editorial vision for the brand.
