Defector is fucking great. It’s the team that made Deadspin magical, who all revolted when Deadspin got bought by private equity and run into the ground, and banded together to form an employee-owned outlet whose authors are just all great writers.
The editor in chief of Deadspin, who fought the dumb decisions when private equity took over, ended up resigning if a blaze of glory by posting this article on the site as she left.
She also has a great new book out on how private equity breaks things.
