A Selection Of Phrases From Recent Posts That Would Make Good Insults To Shout At G/O Media Types On The Street

And I’m a little amused that everyone’s suddenly mourning the death of a site that’s a pale imitation of its golden years… A site that quite literally was held up by the progressively lazier writing of Big Daddy Drew and the occasional dig at Barstool and the Ringer in the hope that the mouthbreathers on the “other side” would flock in and drive ad impressions up. Hell, it’s the same bloody joke that were the layoffs over at SI, where people were railing about the cuts, yet somehow missing the fact that most people gone had a couple of years of experience at the site and weren’t actually there for the good days the various op-ed’s were pining for. Bonus points for self-immolating your career and workplace in the least self-aware way imaginable – OHNOES, the for profit business they work for is trying to get them back in the black – HOW DARE THEY?! and then realizing that actions in the real world have these funny things called consequences.
Also, gotta love the mouthbreathers on Deadspin’s side shouting “SCAB” at people that have the sheer gall to work for a living as opposed to mindlessly following the lemming rush outta Deadspin. Hell, here’s Merriam-Webster’s definition of the word scab and how (in theory) it applies to this situation.
3a: a contemptible person [Eh, the first person to cross the non-existent picket line of habitually outraged twitter morons didn’t seem to be Satan, Goodell, Dave Portnoy’s El Presidente online persona or … Me… after this little tirade]
b(1): a worker who refuses to join a labor union. [Not it either, Chief]
(2): a union member who refuses to strike or returns to work before a strike has ended [ That was not an union strike, it was quite literally rage-quitting on a business, because people didn’t like to do what they’re ostensibly paid to do]
(3): a worker who accepts employment or replaces a union worker during a strike. [Not a strike]
(4): one who works for less than union wages or on nonunion term. [Nowhere was it shown that it was the case, or perhaps the “union’s” terms are to not follow the blatantly legal requirements of management and also not to sabotage the business..]
