Deadspin is a sports blog owned by Lineup Publishing. Founded by Will Leitch in 2005 and originally based in Chicago, it was then sold to Gawker Media, Univision Communications and finally G/O Media. After disagreements with G/O Media management, the entire editorial staff would resign to launch Defector Media, causing the site to halt publishing. After eventually hiring a second editorial staff, the blog was sold to Lineup Publishing in March 2024, which laid off all staff and hired a third reporting group.
