That’s the biggest part of it, I think. And, it’s not really satire across the board. PMT is, but a lot of their content is not. It’s more akin to reality tv/wrestling kayfabe. It’s not making some larger point; it’s just manufacturing interest by trolling. The levity is kind of the point.
Well yeah, you don't go after Green Bae without a lot of blowback. A large portion (more than half?) of barstool fans don't understand the shtick, then you add in faux outrage twitter, which is quite large, who has no idea what the schtick is and you're going to get some negative press.
Agree. I’ve read that he would go on with anyone that would have him on though. Which I guess is part of the issue.
He's said that...he was scheduled to go on MSNBC about a month ago about the union stuff but MSNBC cancelled at the last minute
Dave’s right wing. He also knows Trump is an embarrassment. He is also socially liberal. Imo at least.
BS's biggest "problem" is the stoolie army that attack anyone that says anything remotely negative about them. I could see how females especially could be threatened by that. Granted, this is a Twitter problem in general and not isolated to BS at all.
Yeah, he's a contrarian for clicks. It obviously works for his end. I think that it's pretty fair that people who don't like trolling, or that type of humor, wouldn't find him (or many of their employees) to be funny.
we all have friends like Dave. Grew up conservative. Now see’s how outdated the party is. Still hanging on to it a tad, just silently. It is what it is.
I think you're assuming a lot here. The people's lawyer is far from a conservative. There's little to no chance that Portnoy "grew up conservative" with him as a dad in Mass.
I definitely am. I’m basing all that based on the fact that he has the balls to go on Fox lol. Who is people’s lawyer? Thought it was Gallant Knight
It’s pretty obvious Dave went after AOC because he saw the opportunity to drive a ton of blue checkmarks wild while doing it. It was a pretty transparent troll.
Mike Portnoy is the people's lawyer. And, I'm chuckling a bit at the thought of a Jewish son of a Massachusetts plaintiff's lawyer "growing up conservative."
Ironically I know a conservative Mass lawyer (not Jewish). But also fwiw, I thought Portnoy grew up in Michigan. I stand corrected. Consider me extra surprised that he would appear on Fox. Money/marketing > political morals for Davey pageviews.
his dad used to go on pmt all the time and rant about how much he hates trump. definitely grew up in a liberal household
He’d probably jump at the opportunity to be on Maddow’s show. I think he would jump at the opportunity to be on any major network at any time. In his eyes, any publicity is good publicity. The guy literally developed a criminal record for content purposes. Everything is for the money.
I wouldn’t be shocked if Dave doesn’t care about politics at all. Dave likes money, gambling, and sports
i am a go pres go guy but him going on tucker definitely is cringeworthy i understand the reasoning that he'll go on any show and that dickhead will let anyone on but i still am not a fan
Anti-politics is his politics. That's a big part of the brand. It's intentional irony that the smallest, least significant story lines drive the barstool universe. The point is for it to be an escape from shit that is serious and sucks -- from the daily grind of a low-level white collar cube monkey to real political issues.
Not sure how you can say this when nobody really knows where he stands politically. Still amazed that people on this board don't comprehend this about Dave.
yeah he isnt going on there to push a political stance or endorse anything tucker carlson does. in fact, i would say he likely vehemently disagrees with a lot of what tucker says/believes still not a fan of him giving any attention/credibility to that guy tho
do I need to know where he stands to say “money > political views for Davey.” In your second post you insinuate money is his biggest priority. I think my statement is a safe assumption (and you seem to agree).
23 minute mark to watch Brandon walker shove devlin https://www.barstoolsports.com/video/1477398/stool-scenes-233-the-shove-heard-round-the-world
The non Brandon walker guy is a prick. It must be nice living in a world where you can say whatever you want to someone with zero fear of getting punched in the face.
I thought big cat was kind of being a jerk there too. Like walker was visibly upset, just drop it or be nice to him
