    Why consume barstool content if you aren’t a fan? I really don’t get why people are always in this thread talking about how much they hate barstool. The more clicks they get, the more of this type of content will continue to be generated

    I don’t agree with a lot of what Dave does, but he isn’t “done” and the likes and other engagement shows that many of you are in the minority whether you like to believe that or not.

    Because we followed it long ago or for a long time and its current trajectory is compelling internet news.

    Yep, content probably worth more than Barstool’s exposure in a retaliation case. But for karma’s sake, I hope it happens.

    You’re not wrong. The decision to have cameras rolling 24/7 and air out everything has definitely increased their viewership and fan base.

    That model is really successful in making content on a boring Tuesday when employee x does something Dave doesn’t like.

    It becomes very problematic when you have an enormously important issue like race and a loose cannon, middle aged white guy from Boston who has said racist things recently now telling his black employee to fuck off.

    This isn’t portnoys company in a basement anymore, there are controlling interests who will not tolerate their investment not performing.

    That is if this turns into something that actually hurts barstool revenue and doesn’t just galvanize the racists in the comments section.

    I wouldn’t look to Erika Nardini, a New Englander who came from tech, to really be of much use on race issues either. If I had to guess, in Erika and Dave’s minds, the fact that they have black employees and “allow” them to have a voice is probably enough.

    He wasn’t, he said if you think I’m racist, then quit. That would never hold up in court.

    Pretty easy to point to the video of him calling Kaep a terrorist to show Dave is a racist. Prob many other examples too.
