Deadspin’s Sexist Double Standard on Sizemore Photos
When the Erin Andrews scandal hit, Deadspin immediately assumed a self-righteous, media-indicting positon, moralizing about the should/shouldn’t of online media and the sewer of journalism.
Today, the site posted a bunch of private, half-naked photos of Cleveland Indians baseball player Grady Sizemore. These photos were reportedly stolen from Mr. Sizemore’s computer. Deadspin received a letter from Major League Baseball asking that the pictures be removed (as they were stolen) pending an investigation. You know, like the investigation into the Erin Andrews tape.
The pictures are still up almost an hour after Deadspin editor A.J. Daulerio published the MLB letter. A.J. should maybe check with Tommy about the publication’s policy with regard to its shameless exploitation.
You stay class, Deadspin. And by classy, I mean hypocritical.
