Deadspin, the brash and rebellious sports website, has had its entire writing and editing personnel resign just days after new management issued a mandate to staff to “stick to sports.”<\/p>\n

On Friday, the website’s most well-known writer, Dave McKenna, was said to be stepping down, according to a post<\/a> by former Deadspin Senior Editor Diana Moskovitz. <\/p>\n

“This the final Deadspin transaction before relegation. As the last editor left with access to our work systems, I’m promoting Dave McKenna to editor-in-chief of Deadspin,” Moskovitz wrote in a post titled “Transactions, Nov. 1.”<\/p>\n

The post continues, “McKenna has graciously agreed to accept his new position until the end of the day (this is his last day). Please note that Dave McKenna was the last [editor-in-chief] of Deadspin.”<\/p>\n

Before the sarcasm-laden post, Moskovitz published a separate entry<\/a> that was simply titled “Thank You” and notably filed under the tag “BYE.”<\/p>\n

“I have gone over the contours of this blog in my mind so many times, and yet I still don’t know what to say,” Moskovitz said. <\/p>\n
