Dave Portnoy Talks Sports, Politics, And Why He Fights Back

On the latest episode of “The Ben Shapiro Show: Sunday Special,” Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy talked politics, sports, and why he doesn’t stay away from social media altercations. 

From disputes with AOC to defending his company from online attacks, Portnoy has a strong following on social media among fans who he says appreciate the candidness of his style. Just last month, for example, Portnoy took on a hockey commentator who accused Barstool Sports, the media company he founded in the early 2000s, of having a history of “unapologetic” racism and misogyny.
