I simply cannot understand women who work for barstool. I love some of the women who do, but WHY would you help such a disgusting platform succeed? Dave Portony has cultivated the brand to appeal to a misogynistic, toxic audience. (THREAD)
do people not remember what he did to Sam Ponder? how he said her daughter should’ve been aborted? https://twitter.com/sam_ponder/status/920056799759339521?s=20
direct Portnoy quote about Ponder: "We want to see you sex it up and be slutty and not see some prude f*cking jerk who everybody hates and who’s married to the worst quarterback who wears the ring and “God first” and this and that. Shut up. That’s not what you’re there for."
Or what about comedian Miel Bredouw, who had excessive content stolen from Barstool and after she spoke out about it, was harassed by Barstool executives and their fanbase over the course of five years?
side note- between Jan. 1, 2016 & Dec. 31, 2018, Barstool was been sued 11 times for copyright infringement
What about Laura Wagner? The journalist who consistently reminds the public how horrible Barstool is who Portnoy continues to harass and talk about?
this company harasses and “cancels” whoever comes after them- specifically women. Their staff is almost entirely white and appeals to an Incel-esque audience- an audience who waits for Portnoys call to attack their next fem victim.
they have recurring blogs posts of young women called “smoke shows” and another that rates the sexual appeal of young teachers who molest underage students?
https://deadspin.com/sideline-reporter-gets-pretty-racist-on-barstool-sports-1781727626 remember when they were with a fox reporter laughing at his racist jokes? or when Portnoy said the N word... in a video on the Barstool twitter account?
It's not the women who work for Barstools fault Portnoy, his team, and their fanbase are racist, sexist sociopaths. But working for them does make you complicit. You are continuing to give them content, which helps grow their fanbase, making this monster bigger than it already is
Every woman this thread is directed at has a huge platform. You don't need barstool. Barstool needs you. Stop enabling their toxic masculinity.
If you're a barstool fan, you should ask yourself why it is you need to support such a corporation. I PROMISE there are a million podcasts/videos/content just like the ones Barstool makes. it literally takes a quick google search.
