this is like an investigative report authored by an eleven year old donald trump

it is so funny to me how an ostensibly sober, economic minded publication like the WSJ gets so in their feelings over culture warrior shit.
"well theres all this technological change and young ppl dont watch tv anymore but the REAL problem is that ESPN hires a bunch of women and didnt let me say whatever the fuck popped into my head."

the best part about this is that whitlock is getting uniformly positive feedback from trump voters and he loves it

What the fuck is this doing in the Bill Simmons thread? Simmons has his faults, but he is still 10000000x better than this lameass.
― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 8 May 2017 21:05 (six years ago) link
yeah i know it just seems like we always link whitlock pieces in this thread for some reason
― k3vin k., Monday, 8 May 2017 21:07 (six years ago) link
Whitlock is better than Simmons imo

i think you should be able to X out of the subscribe thing, unless you've already read too many articles

lol, on simmons' podcast today jason gay (who writes for the wsj) complained about "people wrapping [espn cuts] up into some kind of self-serving agenda or cultural statement about where espn is or isn't heading" without mentioning whitlock or the article specifically.
also simmons talked about how the espn.com redesign that basically hid all the writing, and i guess that was kind of early sign that cutting writers and reporters was coming.

honestly i still think of whitlock as the dude who wrote contrarian columns about the chiefs in the kansas city star in the late '90s, so his subsequent national level trolling career seems kind of bizarre even though his style hasn't changed that much.
― circles, Tuesday, 9 May 2017 02:18 (six years ago) link
he is truly singularly dumb for someone of his reach
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 9 May 2017 03:01 (six years ago) link
Whitlock is a character, a contrarian buffoon. Simmons is a tedious, pretentious personality.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 9 May 2017 03:17 (six years ago) link
I hate Armond White but at least he's not Peter Travers.
that is dumb

i don't like simmons, but he has done good things and supported good people. whitlock straight-up sucks, and lol at his hat on fs1
what's particularly painful now is watching shitheads like rob rossi imitate his/skip's assholery in an effort to get ahead
