Barstool Sports founder ​Dave Portnoy announced Thursday that he has raised $1.5 million for the family of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller – after he vowed to match contributions. “Thanks to everybody who donated. We raised 750k. With the matching of the funds that brings the total to 1.5 million that will go directly to the family,” the outspoken media personality wrote on X. Earlier, he wrote that he’d “match whatever our total raised through midnight today is.” The 31-year-old cop was shot and killed when a routine traffic stop in Queens turned into a shootout with alleged career criminal...

Barstool Sports president Dave Portnoy can't stand politics. People are surprised to hear that, what with the regular appearances on Fox News and his mutual admiration society with Tucker Carlson. But he hates politics almost as much as he does Business Insider. This is why it was surprising to many for him to use his massive platform to heap praise on GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley.

Barstool Sports president Dave Portnoy posted an emergency press conference to Twitter on Friday after news broke that the Supreme Court had overturned Roe v. Wade, sending the abortion issue back to the states.In the two-and-a-half minute video, Portnoy called the ruling "pure insanity," stipulating he didn't represent his company's employees.

Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy shares a tale of a cancel culture witch hunt on 'Watters' World.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy was briefly suspended from Twitter on Friday evening, with his access only restored when 'FreeDavePortnoy' began trending. Portnoy, 44, has more than 2.5 million followers on the platform, which he famously describes as 'sports/smut'. At 8:30pm on Friday, users noticed that his account had been suspended, with the message: 'Twitter suspends accounts which violate the Twitter Rules.'

Outspoken social media personality Dave Portnoy tweeted Tuesday that he has sold his shares in companies GameStop and AMC at a major loss, blaming trading app Robinhood for killing the so-called “Reddit Rally” that he joined and helped promote in recent weeks. “I have officially sold all my meme stocks. I lost 700k ish,” Portnoy tweeted before taking a personal shot at the CEO of Robinhood. “Vlad and company stole it from me and should be in jail.” Portnoy’s selling comes as the manic trading blitz that sent cheap stocks to outrageous new heights — fueled by retail traders using...

A few months ago, cancel culture went after Barstool Sports’ founder Dave Portnoy’s head. However, Portnoy refused to take a knee and apologize. Many small business owners are now glad that Portnoy stood his ground against leftist activists. He changed a lot of lives by establishing a fund to save mom-and-pop businesses. Barstool Sports is leading the way where government has failed during the coronavirus pandemic. Many small businesses are being crushed by burdensome regulations and changes to the economy.

This is one of the best, if not the best interview with @realDonaldTrump ever! What makes it so good is that Portnoy asked pertinent questions, made sure POTUS knew his stance, let POTUS answer and didn't ask BS questions. No to mention, @barstoolsports was humble. Wow!

This was truly one of the most surreal days of my life. From delivering newspapers out of my astrovan to interviewing the leader of the free world at the White House. What a long, strange trip it's been. I don't care what your politics are this was an opportunity that couldn't be turned on. I still can't believe it happened to be honest.

Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool sports, posted a rant about coronavirus lockdowns on Twitter yesterday which has already been viewed more than 3 million times. You may not agree with everything he says here but he does make a solid point about the way the goal has subtly shifted over the past 5-6 weeks. “What the **** [ed] is going on? When did this become flatten the curve, flatten the curve, flatten the curve to we have to find a cure or everyone’s going to die?” he said to open the rant. He continued, “Like Fauci. Seems like a...

Fiery left-wing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy tangled on Twitter Tuesday over organized labor in a clash of the social-media titans. “Hey @aoc welcome to thunder dome,” Portnoy, a well-known right-leaning agitator, challenged the New York congresswoman. “Debate me.” Portnoy threw down the gauntlet after AOC injected herself into a battle Portnoy was waging on another front over the recent formation of a union by workers at The Ringer, a sports site in competition with Barstool Sports. “Heard @ringer employees want to unionize. Little refresher how I feel about unions,” wrote Portnoy on Monday.

This one's too stupid for me to make up. From the San Francisco Chronicle: "Authorities in Ohio say a man has been charged with drunken driving after crashing his motorized bar stool. Police in Newark, 30 miles east of Columbus, say when they responded to a report of a crash with injuries on March 4, they found a man who had wrecked a bar stool powered by a deconstructed lawn mower."

An Ohio man says he is seeking a jury trial on a charge of driving under the influence that was slapped on him after he crashed the vehicle he was piloting -- a barstool. "It was just an accident. I mean a little minor accident," Kile Wygle, 28, explained in an interview this week with CNN affiliate WSYX. His homemade vehicle was made from a barstool welded to a small metal frame attached to a five-horsepower lawnmower engine, four wheels and a lawnmower steering wheel, according to the Newark, Ohio, police accident report. Officers responding to a report of a...
