I'm still mad about that 116-win Mariners team getting whooped in the playoffs, and the recent SB Nation series just opened those wounds back up. the series is also right -- I don't need to see championship wins to justify my fandom and following of a team -- but holy poo poo, that was the year to do so.

Daily Beast posted:Barstool Sports, the satirical men’s sports and lifestyle blog, is “hemorrhaging money,” according to an email sent over the weekend by its editor-in-chief, Keith Markovich. The controversial outlet’s founder Dave Portnoy also confessed last month that the site was “losing millions of dollars in advertising,” thanks to the ongoing global pandemic.

It'd be fun to see them sweat but they're as well-positioned as just about anyone to make it through things just fine. 99% of their staff is replaceable and even if their parent company went under they'd just be sold off somewhere else. Most of their site is the kind of low-cost aggregate crap that conglomerates love

There are so many people who aren't on the payroll/aren't associated with Barstool who desperately want Portnoy to see them, too. It's become an extension of the greater culture war and it's exhausting. It's lib owning via sports. I mean Portnoy goes on Fox News to bitch about SJWs and safe spaces. Why? Why is the sports man complaining about this other than to tie himself directly to owning the libs? I also contend that him convincing millions of hypermasculine turds that the fact that he cries all the time about football is not weird at all is a masterclass in brand building. Kudos to him for that.

The X-man cometh posted:A big question is if Portnoy was paid in cash or PennLive stock. If the stock value drops like a rock, he's screwed. Both and he’s already lost a good portion of money on the stock. “Penn National Gaming acquired a 36 percent share of Barstool on Jan. 29. In the deal, Barstool was valued at $450 million. Those who owned equity in Barstool, including Portnoy, received $135 million and $28 million in Penn stock, per the Wall Street Journal. With casinos closed nationwide, Penn’s market value has been sliced in half. By his calculations, Portnoy has lost over half of his estimated $100 million net worth. Still, “Don’t cry for me, Argentina,” he said on April 27. “

GrubHub/Postmaes/DoorDash driver acted like an absolute loving cock.

Deadspin grew up and grew a conscience, so the market for dirtbag sports reporting had to go somewhere else, and the death of apolitical "stick to sports" coverage meant that somewhere else would be intentionally anti-liberal.

Crazy Ted posted:Never defend GrubHub. Or Postmates. Or DoorDash. Or Uber. Or Lyft. Its just a cascading set of problems that fall on both the restaurant and the drivers and of course, not on the companies like Grubhub. The drivers are hosed because now they won't get tipped, losing money waiting for this one order, and the restaurants are hosed because they'll get some dumbass putting a bad review on Yelp for a slow delivery and cold food. Its this terrible position lots of restaurants are in now in the name of getting more business. Spoeank posted:There are so many people who aren't on the payroll/aren't associated with Barstool who desperately want Portnoy to see them, too. It's become an extension of the greater culture war and it's exhausting. It's lib owning via sports. I think the most upsetting thing is that there are legitimate sports media folks who go on their podcasts. What kind of message do you think that sends to someone like Sam Ponder when her colleagues go on a Barstool podcast. Its loving nuts.

The funny thing about this is the same people Barstool panders to are the "stick to sports" assholes. Which makes sense because Venn diagram for "stick to sports" / Barstool / racism has a lot of overlap.
