Another Day. Another Dollar. Another Hit Piece

by Dave Portnoy, Barstool Sports via Archive.org, archived on Sep. 19, 2023

Summary: Dave Portnoy is inciting an abusive brigade against the author of an NJ.com opinion piece, “Why are N.J. pizzerias supporting misogynist bully Dave Portnoy?” The opinion piece focused on about Portnoy’s history of misogyny in the context of his One Bite Pizza Festival. Additionally, Portnoy threatened the participants of the festival to not withdraw.

Now old Dave would have gone ballistic on this guy and wished horrible things upon him. I would have told him that he probably should have gone private on Instagram before starting a war with somebody he's never met over something that literally has nothing to do with him. That I don't want to hear him cry about how the Stoolie bullied him after he threw the first punch and that he deserves everything he's about to get. ...

Let's give this guy the benefit of the doubt and say that everything he said about me is true. This guy wants pizzerias to back out on their commitment to do this event days before it's going to happen. After we've literally spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on ovens, the venue, production etc. After we've advertised the fuck out of it? Then what does he expect to happen if pizza places drop out? I’ll just happily let them go on their way? Now don't get me wrong I'm not worried about any places dropping because I have close relationships with almost all of them and they love me. But imagine if I didn’t?

Redd says, he and his team faced an onslaught of harassment from Barstool fans, calling it “absolute hell.” Dragon Pizza’s entry on Yelp has been spammed with one-star reviews from ardent Barstool Sports fans, and the pizza shop’s Instagram had to limit comments due to the harassment they were receiving. “There have been numerous attacks on our business, our family, our cell phones, addresses,” says Redd, who says he has received death threats. “It’s been incredibly disruptive to our mental health and to our personal security.” He says the harassment has been such a distraction that he had to miss his twins’ birthday celebrations as a result of having to deal with it.

Summary: Dave Portnoy seemed to call for the death of his critics while on stage at his One Bite festival: Those motherfuckers don’t deserve the same air we breathe.

After an hour or so, Portnoy took the stage accompanied by a blast of CO² cannons and a roar of applause. “Mother Nature fucked us a little bit, but we’re still out here,” he said. “I’d be remiss not to say fuck Kenji Alt, who’s one of the all-time pieces of shit in the history of the world. I’d be remiss not to say fuck the Washington Post. Absolute fuckin clowns.” The crowd cheered. “People just wanna have fun, eat pizza. You guys have probably been following me for like, over a decade. And we really, really, really, really appreciate the support. If you have kids here, cover their ears: Fuck the Washington Post. Fuck Kenji Alt. Those motherfuckers don’t deserve the same air we breathe. Let’s have some fun!”

by Dave Portnoy, Barstool Sports via Archive.org

Anyway if I was a parent the only reason this would bother me is because this bro was doing gay porn. Like if he was banging chicks I'd have no problem with it and be ranting and raving about the Pussification of America. But the fact he was doing dick on dick somehow changes it for me.
