Defending BR
 
Pretty good read by the found of BR responding to his critics.

I founded Bleacher Report several years ago, and I’ve always cared what people say about the site. I don’t respond to public posts about BR for the most part, but there are two reasons why I am sending you this letter.

The first is that I left Bleacher Report a few weeks ago, so I am at more liberty to speak freely on the topic. Everything I write is my opinion only. The second is that I was having coffee with your former colleague [REDACTED] an hour ago, and he was such a nice guy that I figured you might be as well.

With that in mind, I will now make a few disparate points that respond to your article.

1. Bleacher Report is — and always was — a very good business. And I take pride in that. My co-founders and I started it as a business, and it was born out of a business plan that I co-wrote shortly after college. During the time that we owned it, the company was never a huge profit maker, but it was always healthy enough to attract investors and (ultimately) a major acquirer.

The fact that it is a business isn't a negative, the fact that it's been clear from the very start that link baiting is part of that business plan is.

After reading this thread, I still have a very low opinion of letting just anyone start a thread ;)
