A Florida jury awarded Hulk Hogan a staggering $115 million in his invasion of privacy lawsuit against Gawker Media, founder Nick Denton and former Deadspin editor A.J. Daulerio.
Many sports personalities who have been exposed by Deadspin over the last decade are probably popping champagne in spirit with Hogan. It’s no coincidence most are connected to ESPN — one of the take-no-prisoners sports blog’s chief targets over the past decade.
Denton has said previously the Hogan lawsuit could put the company out of business. If the lights go out at Deadspin, these sports personalities might end up having the last laugh.
