Barstool Sports is a cesspool of misogyny and bigotry

Barstool Sports founder and frequent Fox News guest Dave Portnoy said he was in talks with a “major sport” to air games, later confirmed to be Major League Baseball. 

The platform, described as a “satirical sports and men’s lifestyle blog” is, in reality, a cesspool of bigotry basking in the backlash against political correctness. Under the pretense of sharing funny videos and embracing a boys-will-be-boys mentality, Barstool has successfully normalized a culture of harassment, misogyny, and rampant misinformation, all while taking cavalier attitudes toward the chaos that ensues.

Major League Baseball has recently demonstrated support for Black Lives Matter and is already struggling with recent allegations of failing to protect women. Portnoy has consistently demonstrated that Barstool Sports exists to make a mockery of those concerns, encouraging casual misogyny, racism, and harassment.
