Deadspin--What a Bunch of Lames
>> Thursday
I'm growing convinced that the guys at Deadspin are easily offended. No, seriously.
At least, I belive, they're really squeamish about linking or posting anything that's racially sensitive. As you guys know, lately I've been sending them links to our more interesting, well-conceived efforts in order to boost our readership slightly (for individual posts, at the least).
Based on the few they've ignored, my sensitivity suspicions would seemingly hold true. Two of my ignored posts--and so you know, I'm really self-centered and therefore don't remember the rest of yours nearly as well--were the "Super Bowl Shuffle" parody and last night's goofball piece on Daisuke Matsuzaka, both of which contain semi-edgy racial humor and, arguably, racial stereotyping.
So either they A) don't link stuff that isn't informative or scoop-y (doesn't seem to be the case), B) didn't find these funny (Impossible!), or C) have some racial sensitivity stick up their asses.
Am I jumping too quickly to conclusions? Yeah, probably. Ok, definitely. But I'm still gonna stick by it until proven otherwise because I have really biased and unfair judgment like that. Of course, there's always the highly likely D)--that they're threatened by our vastly superior talent and are afraid that showcasing us too much will draw attention away from them. Yeah, that must be it.
All that being said, I still plan to link them tomorrow with a long-ish post I should have up tonight.
