    Agree. But how fucking lazy do you have to be to not rewrite it so that it's not the exact same yet means the same? That has always left me dumbfounded.

    Maybe if most of your day is spent "aggregating," outright theft doesn't seem like a thing.

    Nothing new and nothing surprising. They go cheap on the labor; the labor doesn't fully grasp the severity of what they're doing. I'll bet the writer didn't give it that much thought until the shit hit the fan.

    SB Nation can go get fucked sideways with a cheese grater forever for defending a serial rapist. Fuck those white privilege assholes.

    *crossthread* So I take it you're not one for separating the performer from the performance.

    Good point. What a shitty job it must be to sit around taking other people's work and making it your own. I'm sure it builds a lot of self confidence.

    This guy will be extremely punished and will have to serve six months hard labor as an assistant manager at a Burger King.

    OTOH, filling your website with content reported elsewhere and slapped together by people working for free is a pretty good business model. Problem is, it hinges on some sucker somewhere paying someone to do some work.
