4:05Now PlayingA Daily Beast editor used Grindr to find gay Olympic athletes, and them gutted them in an article. Ana Kasparian, Samantha Schacher, Kenny Hamilton, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“This is how not to arrange a Grindr hookup.
Early on Thursday, The Daily Beast published an article by London editor Nico Hines in which he "reported" on his use of Grindr at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Hines is a straight man, and the article is an unethical mess.
