Paul Maidment discovers real work is real hard

Paul Maidment is the first to G/O fuck himself.

Paul Maidment resigned as editorial director of Deadspin’s parent company, G/O Media, on Tuesday just one week after the mass resignation of Deadspin staff in response to his “stick to sports” mandate.

In a statement emailed to staff, Maidment wrote, “I wanted to let you all know that effective immediately I have resigned my position as Editorial Director of G/O Media. It is the right moment for me to leave to pursue an entrepreneurial opportunity.”

At this rate the building will be empty by December and the original crew can go reclaim the means of production.
