Former Deadspin Writer Calls Her Media Pals to Complain That Her New Bosses at Deadspin Wanted Her To Write About Sports for the Sports Site Instead of Insipid SJW Politics

Life is so unfair!

Who do these bosses think they are?!

Deadspin's editor in chief has left the company, saying the new leadership of parent company G/O Media have made it "impossible" for her to continue working there.

"I have been repeatedly undermined, lied to, and gaslit in my job," Megan Greenwell said in a brief phone call with The Daily Beast on Friday.

...

Among the many grievances, Greenwell said, G/O leadership refused to guarantee editorial independence for Deadspin and asked for the site to "stick to sports" -- a long-running source of frustration for a staff that also covers media, politics, and culture beyond sports.

The monsters.

You know, one time there was a little girl who was told to "stick to sports."

And that little girl was Anne Frank.

"That's not something I feel I can ethically do," the departing editor said.

Do your ethnics permit you to Lean to Code?

Because you're a-gonna want to do that.

If you're wondering what that reference to "living near Puerto Ricans" means, that's not him being racist. It's calling attention to the SJW racism of this idiot.

See, she's a walking cliche and therefore lives where all the whitebread, subsidized-by-daddy media NPCs live -- in super-trendy Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

But she doesn't want you to draw the correct inferences from that, that she's yet another super-white-privileged rich bitch who makes money whining about other people's alleged white privilege.

So she immediately specifies that she doesn't live in the hip, expensive part of Williamsburg.

She lives near the (ominous, foreign-sounding music) Puerto Ricans.

Hey, man, I might look like another entitled, privileged, daddy-subsidized Brooklyn hipster rat, but my world is Gritty Like The Wire, man: I live near Puerto Ricans, if you can imagine such a thing.

Hey man, don't assume I'm some kind of bougie Basic Bitch. I'm totally Down With the Struggle -- my neighborhood has two joints where they sell empanadillas.

If you think my life is soft, esse, I'll have you know mi barrio has had more Puerto Ricans in it than Ricky Martin's asshole.

So there, buddy!
