    With the shit at Barstool and Deadspin, there is an opportunity for an upstart to take over.

    I'm very, very curious to see how Defector stays afloat the first year or so. Regardless, it's a relief to see people take back control of their publication and not let the suits drive decisions just to enrich themselves at the expense of the staff.

    I Imagine some rich person give them a bunch of money to tell everybody they can go fuck themselves. That’s more or less the content I’d expect out of Defector. Just one big long, nihilistic bong hit of FU.

    I subscribed. Magary and Ratto are worth $8 a month to me.

    They picked a curious time for this foray, not that these people haven't always been about themselves.

    I wish them well.

    But the Diaper Bank of Coahoma County, Mississippi needs that $96.

    I figured that was the case. No way they just decided to come together build this thing from scratch, without the help of big money. I'm sure they were careful who to take money from.

    Fuck it. I'm in for a year subscription. Magary is a good read and we'll see how it goes.

    As Cracker sang: What the world needs now is another Deadspin like I need a hole in my head.

    One of the first stories should be an updated 'spin on Manti Te'o i.e. what it means now, what it meant in the moment, what if any regrets etc etc.

    Who wants to pay $8 each month to read an antiestablishment website? You can get that for free lots of places.
