Explain the "barstool sports" espn controversy to me

[Stupid Fitz]

yeah Portnoy wins this one. Business Insider did a bad job.

Glad that guy finally caught a break.

[420seriouscat69]

Shocking!

Deets?

[420seriouscat69]

I think it's fair to think he's a douche bag and the main girl in question is a thirsty fraud, who has a history of doing stuff like this before, for attention. Maybe not tho.

lol

Can someone link me to this savage takedown by Portnoy?

my take is that the story revolved around 3 sources, 2 of which were anonymous, and Portnoy provided some pretty compelling evidence that Business Insider's portrayal of their experience was misleading at best. he's an bad person but sloppy hit pieces accusing that he sexually assaults women helps nobody.

Yeah, I'm not going to watch an hour of that. Guess I'll wait for the leftist media to get their summaries out so I know what to think.

Did you guys actually sit through an hour of that live??

I didn't have 'blast as an unabashed stoolie.

I think Dave is a pretty mumped up individual but I don’t like trying people in the court of Public opinion.  If he committed crimes then the authorities can file charges and he can have his day in court.  I’m not sure how people could have watched the call me daddy stuff unfold and think it was wise to engage in a mud slinging campaign with him, he will clearly go scorched earth.

[420seriouscat69]

Really sad day for all the guys who wanted to see him burn for nothing he’s done, just because they hate him, but pretty calculated too.

[Trim]

What’s the factual dispute in all of this?

[MakeItRain]

What’s the factual dispute in all of this?

Exactly. The article reported things he's bragged about. He wasn't accused of breaking the law. The author of that piece illustrated him or people close to him talking about his proclivities for young women and leaking him having sex on video. He wasn't accused of breaking the law.

I get the two reasons he's fighting this, the Penn National stock price, and him being the victim of a made up mob has now become part of the brand. What I don't, but really do, understand is why people want to defend him against things he's admitted to doing or things we've seen him do on camera.

[420seriouscat69]

Just admit you hate him and move on and you don’t care for real justice if he’s someone you dislike

Dude is Trim, but way more successful at it.

[420seriouscat69]

@MIR, remember when you met Janey Bird in Wichita to talk crap about my character with @Trim before the Fiesta bowl trip? Yeah, stop acting like you're leading this new activist move. You love watching crap burn.

[420seriouscat69]

If you’ve ever met Trim prior to Seattle, He did crap like this all the time. Made videos of gE encounters with intent to shame the new guy on the blog. He scared off many posters with many, doxing them. That was his thing.

[420seriouscat69]

We actually have a part owner on this board with the name of @lifeofmamafitz on Twitter who keeps tweeting under the handle, while the dude (Fitz) is dying from cancer. But yes, Barstool! Go get him, clan!

[steve dave]

Wacky, nobody on this planet needs to go this hard defending the honor of the barstool guy.

I'm curious about the stock price drop, at least the part alleged to relate to the article.  Maybe the article was the first time some Penn National investors even realized Penn had bought a bunch of Barstool.  It's impossible that those who already knew that could then suddenly be surprised and scared off by an article about rough ridin'.

I question the character of the ppl questioning the character. Not you, obviously.

[420seriouscat69]

Barstool guy = Trim

Sorry
