Ben Mathis-Lilley, the sports editor at Buzzfeed, is out.

Or, as he put it on Twitter, "Just to be entirely clear, I got fired. SUPER fired, maybe. This is not a joke. For those asking WHY I got fired, it's honestly nothing interesting or crazy. Just the usual not seeing eye-to-eye."

I wonder if he wanted to do too much actual journalism instead of charticles, strange polls and galleries of hot chicks.
 
Coming up: 38 celebrities who won't do it, but if they did do it would do a good job as Buzzfeed's next sports editor

Touche.

I just can't think of anything I've ever seen on there that looked like it needed editor oversight.

"I don't think you should use that gif of a dog. I think you should use this gif of Jennifer Lawrence."

Should've gone with "An editor gets called into his boss' office. You won't BELIEVE what happens next! MUST SEE!"
