From another article the OP linked to:

> By Tuesday, rebellious staffers were filling the site with entirely non-sports stories — and the site’s deputy editor said he had been fired for refusing to follow the directive.

Ok, so these journalists are refusing to ignore real news for the sake of solely covering sports. I can get behind that...

> Top postings on Tuesday included “Woman Furiously S—s on Floor of Tim Hortons, Throws it At Employees,” as well as “What Did We Get Stuck in Our Rectums Last Year,” and “The Hateful Life and Spiteful Death of the Man Who Was Vig the Carpathian.”

Oh.
