and gentlemen um let me tell you why I
go so hard on this kind of stuff I've
lost my I've I've lost jobs right I I
think most people that like go try and
attempt things and work really hard like
they end up rattling some cages and
people lose jobs it's not a great thing
to go through and so I try as hard as I
can not to um reel Relish in people's
job losses but I can't help myself in
this
situation I won't be the better man
because you tried to destroy a young
child's life that is the flipping line
for me this young man on your screen his
name is Holden armenta he happens to
actually be a Native American and dead
spin decided to try and Destroy his life
by saying he was wearing black
face at the chief's game even though the
chief's colors are black and red the NFL
needs to speak out against the Kansas
City Chiefs fan and blackf Faith native
head breath they're doubling up on
racism are you going to say anything
Roger gaval this guy now out of a job we
uh are really really happy in fact that
that's happening that's a good thing for
society and we will celebrate it
9-year-old Chiefs fan Holden armenta was
falsely slandered for wearing blackace
by a woke joural at dead Spin and now
he's speaking out and suing dead Spin
and that journalist and that journalist
is gonna well hope you save your welfare
checks I guess because you sir are going
to need them you no longer have a job
dead spin lays off entire editorial
staff after popular sports website is it
really though is sold to European
startup firm lineup publishing des's
editorial staff were laid off in a
hastily called staff meeting on Monday
man these people are just they're just
garbage no matter what you like you know
you want to try and treat people respect
even if you are laying them off but
these guys were apparently given just
seconds to clean out their desks and had
all their computers locked immediately
dead spin has been owned by geom media
since
2019 popular uh sports blog dead spin
sold to European lineup publishing de
spins writers and editors were given 30
minutes notice of losing their jobs
before being locked out of their company
laptops I want to make it clear that
we're not actively shopping dead spin uh
said a memo to the staff the rationale
behind the decision to sell a variety of
important factors that include the
buyers editorial plans and brand brand
tough competition in the sports
journalism sector and the valuation
that respected a sizable premium for our
price dead spin this brand has decided
uh is not going to exist as a woke
company that shames little children for
cheering for their teams thank God dead
spin staff were locked out of their
company emails accounts quick uh quickly
enough that did not even receive the
memo meaning they likely saw it on
social media Des spin's new owners have
made the decision not to carry over the
site's existing staff and instead
building new team team in a new line of
editorial vision for the brand go woke
go broke we've said it before 2023 was
the year of effing around and this is
the year of finding out 2024 baby it's
going to be glorious while the new
owners plan to be reverential to dead
spin's unique voice they plan to take a
different content approach regarding the
SC overall Sports coverage that
unfortunately means that they will be
parting away with those impacted staff
members who were notified earlier
today we'd like to thank them for their
hard work was it hard work actually was
it really this is what dead spin tweeted
out uh a couple of months ago the NFL
needs to speak out against the blackface
kid see because the kid's wearing the
headdress of the Chiefs because the the
the team's called the Chiefs and he's
wearing blackface and of course they
chose a screenshot to show just one side
of his face so they're not being sued
for defamation life comes at you fast is
our take Dead's SP lays off entire
editorial staff well well well ladies
and gentlemen if you go to dead spin
right now you'll notice something very
unique which is that the site first off
the leading story is by the same Ken J
Phillips by a
Karen ladies and
gentlemen Karen J Phillips and that uh
the politics all of the politics and
political
screeds have been ripped from the front
page and now it's just like turned into
sort of like a a uh hard news site and
data site interesting that dead spin
used to be sort of a cesspool for
leftist opinion journalism and now
everything is like here's the numbers
and the stats hm almost like people just
want to watch sports or be entertained
or get news and not have a opinion
shoved down their throat not have to
listen to the message oh let's see here
uh Karen Phillips published last week
Charles Barkley went from dying to vote
for Nikki Haley to wanting to punch
black supporters make it make sense
thank you Karen for your take oh look
the article is still up with the
updated so it went from uh ladies and
gentlemen went from
this this to now this the NFL must ban
native headdresses and culturally
insensitive face paint in
stance they changed the color of her
image with an editor's note with an
editor's note that
went and editors not that effectively is
half the article look at that so yeah
there we go we regret any suggestion
that we were attacking the fan or family
to that end the story was updated remove
any photos tweets or links the
information about the fan we've revised
the headline to better reflect the
substance of the story really really was
this a very substantive Story the
original story said the NFL keeps
doubling down on racism they're doubling
up on racism accusing this kid of
doubling up on
racism it the they're lying to you the
article actually specifically attacks
the fan can City Chief's fan
individual not a practice but a single
fan you went after a little kid you
bastards yeah you deserve to go out of
business and this is exactly what
happened here here is the uh actual uh
email email to dead spin saffers today
informing them that they've been sold to
new owner and will not be retaining any
of them so there you go baby there's the
email Read It and Weep we will not be
weeping for Karen Philips
who defended a child for wearing sa
paint is now unemployed after the
collapse of dead spin appeal to Future
employers he lists Pulitzer nominee in
his bio being a pit or nominee means
nothing except that you paid $75 to be
considered they're not saying their best
as they say this is the face that
finally dug the grave for dead spin it
is glorious people are celebrating
across the internet breaking there's a
heartwarming ending to dead spin's
famously failed story of a 9-year-old
kid who was caught wearing blackface uh
Sports journalist who wrote the
blackface hit piece is now unemployed
well done all makes sense when you
remember the kind of writing that comes
out of dead spin says the daily wire
correct the end of zombie dead spin the
young kid dressed as Chief's gear as
racist never forget goodbye dead spin
everyone notice noting this article
remember when dead spin went after a kid
for wearing face PL mhm yeah it's like

dream to get on the Jumbotron and I've
had family and friends call and oh we

excited but then everything else came up
and it's uh been a little bit of a
spiral Holden how are you feeling right
now um it's okay cuz a lot of kids at
school are getting excited but
it's starting to get me a little nervous
because if they go a little bit
overboard it's a little scary I bet it's
scary it can be a very overwhelming
experience how has the community been in
terms of
support um
okay so far good and you're a football
guy right don't you have practice in a
few

asked me 10 minutes ago if he can paint
his face before we go

American and he's a great fan and
everybody loves Holden but Karen over a

novelty piece it's a it's a costume

comments coming either even from from
other tribes from tribal members um some
think it's okay some think it's not okay
