Mass exodus occurring at Deadspin after being told to "stick to sports"

Considering how sports has been intersecting with things like the Hong Kong protests and certain prominent political figures, the Deadspin management told their writers to stick to sports, which is prompting a mass exodus. 
 

The writers have also criticized invasive ads on the site, which probably didn't help.

Well, he's right.  Outsourcing did happen in a big mofo way right after NAFTA and WTO deals were made and our standard of living began its long decline.  Ross Perot was absolutely correct though the globalists never will admit it.  They say: be happy your factory job closed and that the only jobs available after outsourcing are as greeters at Walmart selling products made in China.

Good. We want sports as an escape from life responsibilities. I wish politics and other world issues remained away from sports. Sports are entertainment for the masses. Fuck the political beliefs and opinions.

Yep. Just because these people are obsessed with politics doesn’t mean they need to infect everyone else. Being banned from Twitter was the best thing that has happened to me in the past couple years.
