The liberal sports blog that smeared a 9-year-old Kansas City Chiefs fan last year has cut its entire staff after being sold by its parent company, Fox News Digital has confirmed.

Deadspin went viral in November for an article accusing a child who wore red and black facepaint with a Native American headdress of wearing "blackface" and finding a way to "hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time." The 9-year-old boy is of Native American heritage and his parents have filed a defamation lawsuit against Deadspin.

Now, the entirety of Deadspin's workforce, including the writer who smeared the young football fan, have been forced out, according to a memo sent by Deadspin's former parent company G/O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller.

"I have some news to share regarding one of our sites in the G/O Media portfolio. Recently we were approached by the European firm Lineup Publishing expressing interest in purchasing Deadspin to add to their growing media holdings," Spanfeller told staff in the memo obtained by Fox News Digital. "After careful consideration, the G/O Media board of directors has decided to accept their offer. I do want to make it clear that we were not actively shopping Deadspin."

There are quite a few "sports" publications that have decided being SJWs is more important than just reporting sports.
When I was a lot younger I used to subscribe to about ten different sports publications.
Now I subscribe to ZERO!! sports publications which goes along with my extreme disinterest in watching pro sports today.

When I was younger, I could rattle off the top drivers in everything from NHRA to Formula one. Now, not so. I knew football pretty well, but that was before the NFL expansion, back when the Colts played in Baltimore, and a little Baseball, when the Senators played ball in DC. Something happened in college, when I saw the funding the athletic teams got vs the science departments. Since then, I couldn't give a damn.

I used to be that way with baseball.  I knew every player on every NL roster (12 teams back then).  Today, I couldn't name twelve players.
