He defended his remarks, insisting it was "literally a joke from 'The Office'," while acknowledging they wouldn't be tasteful today and dismissed his critics who he thought were "haters" who had wanted to get rid of him for years. "I did a very poor job in that first video making it clear who I believe I was responding to, which is just pure Barstool haters," Portnoy continued. "I don't care what people who don't know me think about me. I care very much about people who do know me and work at Barstool and if they're bringing up concerns and issues, I'll always f---in' listen. And they have been bringing up the issues. They're like, 'You have to admit this is f---in' wrong.

You gave in to the woke mob! Wow! Just wow! You have abandoned your viewers.

🤦‍♀️

I kneel before God. I kneel for my fallen brothers on the battlefield. I will never kneel for anything else, and will never apologize... PERIOD!

WHY APOLOGISE

Another coward. Very disappointing.

Go get in your Prius now and go get your chia green tea latte pussy.

Stupid

Time for Dave to explain to staff that if they don’t want to deal with their friends opinion of him, they can decide what is best for them, chose better followers or a different job. Dave owes them for the job they do, not their social life.

stoolpresidente you just ruined your brand...remember, this was a mistake and the beginning of your end. Hope you saved some money! Cause no one will support you now

He lost me...unfollow.
