Bleacher Report, which bills itself as the “Open Source Sports Network,” deleted an article “CBSSports.com Burns Bleacher Report Applicants for NFL Correspondents.” I was able to find the article on the author’s blog, “CBSSports.com Burns Bleacher Report Colts Writers.” The article mainly blasts CBSSports.com for changing the rules on a promotion it recently ran to find NFL beat writers. Since CBSSports.com syndicates Bleacher Report content, it looks the article was pulled by Bleacher Report (screenshot below) to not anger its customer.
The article cites an email from Bleacher Report CEO Dan Kelley detailing the selections that CBSSports.com made and indicated that only 16 Bleacher Report writers were selected for positions instead of the originally promised 32.
I checked the Bleacher Report Community Guidelines, and in my opinion, this article did not seem to violate any of those terms. I have requested comment from Bleacher Report as to the specific as to why the article was deleted, and I will update this article appropriately.
If Bleacher Report want to be the “Open” sports site, censoring its writers is probably not the best tactic.
