Business owners across New York City are well-documented in their opposition to Democratic Socialist mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani’s likely win on Tuesday night, and it’s time to add Dave Portnoy to that list.
The Barstool Sports owner voiced his extreme opposition to Mamdani’s potential tenure as New York City mayor in a YouTube stream on Oct. 25, revealing that he has had conversations with Barstool’s financial leaders about moving the company to neighboring New Jersey.
“Honestly, I’ve given that a lot of thought — he’s definitely going to win — going to Hoboken or Jersey City or something,” Portnoy said. “I don’t want to ******* have an office (in Manhattan). But then we have all those people who, like, that ***** up their life because I hate the guy … so it’s a Catch-22.”
Portnoy acknowledged that as a prominent media company, it is essential to have a presence in America’s biggest city. Throughout its history, stars like Alex Cooper, Big Cat, and PFT Commenter have thrived out of the company’s Manhattan offices.

I wonder who is trying to depress the real estate in order to buy it up?
I think that is what is going on. Make the buildings too expensive to hold onto so they can be sold at a discount.
Surprised no thrrad yet. These are overwhelmingly Blue Elections this year.
Go for it! You can start a thread now.
Mamdani (obviously) is the wild card here. He could throw so many taxes and fees on commercial real estate that even cheap buildings will become expensive.
And like with every other communist, Mamdani will give no thought to the long-term consequences of his actions.
$2.3 trillion GDP in NYC.
Not for much longer
Communists want to enslave the citizens.
You think they are depressed now. Wait for this communist to start after he gets elected.
It will shrink to $1.5 trillion by the end of next year.
That’s because the commies are hungry for power.
Idiot should have left long ago. There’s nothing good about NYC and NY because of NYC controlling things.
He’s all for rent control.
Remember the 70s? NYC and rent control. The owners of the buildings abandoned them. I remember seeing a block of 8 story or so apartment buildings all empty and wondering what the heck was going on ? Empty buildings in NY?
What is Portnoy’s voting record. If he votes for Democrats he created the problem. If he votes for Republicans he’s an idiot for having stayed in NYC. The writing has been on the wall there since they elected the last communist, Bill Diblasio.

Isn’t he the fellow with “the complaint”?
HE MIGHT BE LEADING THE PARADE.
You forgot to say that MUZZLIMES want to enslave the citizenship. Particularly the women.
A distinction without a difference.
Wow. What an interesting thought. There are a number of Jewish families that own a lot of real estate. Much of what I know is residential r.e. There is probably a lot of commercial property as well.
