Vox/SB Nation Layoffs

For those who haven't seen Vox, which owns SB Nation among others cut about 50 people yesterday and the sports media contingent was not spared.

Some of their Hockey guys got slips, and it was mostly focused on media and video production positions apparently. While changes in how Facebook shows videos and other content in the news feed also apparently fed into the decisions.

For football though there look to be 2 cuts which are sad to see. Dan Rubenstein who is one of their lead personalities for college football and cohost of The Solid Verbal podcast is apparently out. While Ryan Nanni who does a lot fo their production and is one of the 3 on the Shutdown Fullcast has also been very quiet and might be out.

Both were/are very smart and funny guys and it just goes to show how brutal sports media can be, and the determination and dedication it takes to roll with the punches for anyone wanting to make it a career! Very much hope they find a great new position soon.

Here is a CBS article about the layoffs in general at Vox and its uneven finances.
