"Deadspin Staff Laid Off as G/O Media Sells Sports Blog to European Startup"

Deadspin, a sports news and commentary site, has been sold to European firm Lineup Publishing, resulting in the layoff of its entire 11-person staff. This marks the latest change in ownership for Deadspin, which was previously part of G/O Media. The sale comes after G/O Media's acquisition of Gizmodo Media Group and The Onion in 2019. The move reflects the challenges in the sports journalism sector and the company's focus on prioritizing resources to meet the needs of readers and advertisers.
