Its honestly a bit scary how Barstool has built an army of CHUDs. I realize Youtube is a cesspool already but the comments on that video are bad. And because I sort of work in sports still I have to sift through that poo poo sometimes and the insane hatred of women is loving wild. Sports is already a sausage fest filled with women haters but barstool is special because its basically either "I want to gently caress this smokeshow whore" or "get this loving oval office away from the mic/in front of the camera/existing because she's a shrill bitch."

Not to mention they're extremely thin skinned...the leadership there. You talk any poo poo about them and they see they'll just sick the Barstool army of assholes on people. Its really bad and sad that they're actually shaping a bit how online sports culture/reporting is heading.

E: I assume she wrote this under duress: https://www.barstoolsports.com/barstoolu/who-knows-barstool-better-an-employee-or-a-bankrupt-website

And then even after she defends Barstool and the guys she still is getting hated on:

"I wish you were never associated with this website to be honest."

"You lost me after saying nazi in a non sarcastic way. Get real"

"YOU loving SUCK"

"Clearly not you, you loving idiot because you keep giving us lovely content that we don’t want or ask for. Go to deadspin already"

Most of those people were already like Portnoy but at least had sense to hide that in front of others. He’s just empowered them to be pieces of poo poo openly.

He’s like Sports Trump.

I do like barstools attempts at pretending that they hate politics when really all they do is post pro right wing poo poo.

Barstool, to me, is best exemplified by the drunken fat guy wearing a Barstool shirt who got ejected before a preseason Red Wings game for yelling the n-word during the national anthem, and then trying to resist the security officers forcing him to leave by yelling about how hilarious he is

The Lebetard Show also exposes you to a lot of good sports writers and personalities, some of whom wouldn't get the exposure otherwise. I found out about people like Bomani Jones and Mina Kimes thanks to them guest hosting.

The nice thing about Barstool is that their fans wear and display Barstool gear (T-shirt’s, hats, flags, etc) so it makes it even easier to avoid racist MAGA chuds.

I somehow stumbled onto Pardon My Take without delving too deep into Barstool itself, enjoyed PMT as a podcast, but the more I hear about Barstool, and the more I hear the PMT schtick, the less I want to keep listening to it.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I just hope this doesn't end up with Comcast owning all the regionals.

Fox owns most number of RSNs, followed by Comcast, Charter, and AT&T. This doesn’t include networks like NESN, which are unaffiliated.

It’s their premiere radio show (somehow, which I never would have guessed in a million years after hearing them on local radio in Miami).

Which I have to laugh at since it’s the anti-sports sports show.

part of the success is that it's an anti-sports sports show. The other major part is they know how to have fun and not bother with hot takes.

They were way ahead of the curve in that they avoided the hot takes despite the show coming into its own in the heyday of the hot-take renaissance
