white frat bros in their 20s are voting for whoever their parents vote for just like the majority on this board did before they woke up. i really don't think these guys are influencing much at all. either way imma keep watching pizza reviews and scrolling x formally known as twitter
Yeah I’ve never been white or familiar with a fraternity but considering he’s made generational wealth off the backs off young white fraternity bros who eat up his shitty content as if it’s brilliant edgy comedy, I have no doubt they are moronic enough to think his views and advice are worth listening to
He hasn't made generational wealth by putting out bad content. He's a smart business man, no matter what your opinion of him is. We get it, man. You're anti-Barstool. I don't know why you'd hang out in this thread if you hated it so much?
lots of bad content has made people generational wealth over the history of entertainment……..you’re right, I know this thread is 97% white I was just stopping by for my spin as a non white non frat guy………..but if you want my brown ass out of here I’ll let ya keep it white and right no problem on my end
I am certainly not anti-Barstool. I still enjoy PMT and the Yak and most of the stuff Chicago produces. The problem with Dave for me is that he has always been an anti-politics guy, but sees the grift and is now fully committed to the bit. It's disingenuous. I don't follow Dave for his political takes, which are now more prevalent. It's hard for me to enjoy any of his content now.
I mean obliviously feel free to post whatever here. But yeah if you're coming into the thread where people discuss barstool and shit on their founder i don't know what sort of response you were expecting?
Point is being good at business doesn't deflect any of the claims of being involved in shitty business practices or sucking as a person
right but i mean what's the point of going in a joel osteen thread and being like wow yall are all idiots for liking him.
Oh wow. I didn’t know any of this. I basically only watch the Dozen and some stuff comes across my Twitter. I always wondered what happened and why they replaced Carl Team Chicago
You give people shit for all kinds of things and yes I absolutely would go into that thread to say that
He’s definitely successful but he practically gave half his company away when comparing it to the original Penn deal. Not to mention daddy was keeping him afloat for a long time.
I just read an article about how the “Zoomer” (particularly males) are “moving to the right” of previous generations when they were 18-29. It specifically mentioned Dave Portnoy as someone this generation looks up to and listens to.
TIFWIW but after working closely with many zoomers for my work over the last decade I don’t think they’re more right or left but they are def more cynical, populist, look at institutions as jokes, value clout Hence, attraction to a clown who gained notoriety for getting arrested for chaining himself up in the NFLs corporate HQ lobby
Dave having another meltdown with today’s news lol “People think I’m MAGA, I’m not, but the democrats are scumbags”….now saying this is election fraud
I think that’s more of a relevant point for individual creators (and obviously taste always applies). It’s a pretty broad brush blog, video and podcast site over its history. I wouldn’t say it’s entirely down to white college kids either. They’ve clearly been the focus but I’m fairly sure they banked most of their money in the Call Her Daddy era. He has a good sense of things of the internet generally.
Someone sent me a portnoy reel, presumably related to today's news. I don't want to watch so thank you for the cliffs
Sports aren't dumb enough on their own, need the dumbest people around talking about sports in the dumbest ways possible.
They never grew up past like age 18. Everything they do reminds me of like the worst meathead jock shit imaginable
You literally just described the entire Barstool network. Ok thats not fair, maybe some of the Barstool personalities made it to age 21.
