Left-Wing Sports Outlet “Deadspin” Fires All Staff After Falsely Labeling Child NFL Fan ‘Racist’

Staff at the leftist sports outlet Deadspin were informed on Monday that a European company bought out their publication and is firing all employees.

The notice explained the new owners are going to keep the operation running under a new team “more in line with their editorial vision for the brand.”

Several X users accurately pointed out the outlet didn’t last long after a scandal where Deadspin writer Carron J. Phillips incorrectly labeled a child Kansas City Chiefs fan a “racist” who attended a game wearing “black face.”

In his article, Phillips posted a misleading image of the boy with black face paint on one side of his face and didn’t reveal the other side of his face was painted red.

The family of the 9-year-old kid falsely accused by Deadspin of wearing “blackface” filed a lawsuit against the outlet last month, potentially contributing to the recent sale.
