This is a masterclass on hypocrisy. Portnoy talks shite on the suits for the last two decades, then caves in after he sells out to Penn.

Hopefully Ott finds in his heart to give Mintz his old job back.

And it sounded like he couldn’t even wake up most morning to actually do the show

Feels like he’s fired weekly. Bet he will be back soon.

Beginning of the end of barstool

Reveals Dave has zero power anymore. They'll probably fire him too at some point.

Fire a guy over a harmless mistake.

Penn spends hundreds of millions on barstool then neuters it. Great investment.

Too bad Dave sold out, but hard to blame him

Penn paid for the barstool sportsbook audience, they don’t give a shite about the barstool content

He was over his fricking head. No way that clown should have been in a bigger market than Shreveport.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed for sure. Time to get a grown up job.

White people are not allowed to say what black people can say. But white people are racist. Ben should be shot for saying that awful, awful word. Just because.

He put out a video on Twitter saying that it wasn’t his decision and part of selling Barstool to Penn was them taking the authority to make decisions like this. Dave said Penn’s reasoning was they thought states would pull gaming licenses if they didn’t fire him.

Crazy cancel culture world we live in.

Yeah no shite but their decision will cause that audience to actively avoid them.

They've become what the brand used to make fun of.
