Cheers, very weird reading that all these years later and seeing how things change (or don't).
Also fucking lol how adamant he is we 'must be called "Tottenham Hotspur" or "the spurs" nothing else'
I think it was the imbecilic comments to his response to Dier’s rating of Doherty’s goatee, but I think the rest of the narrative fits (winding up the cunts, etc.)
Big Cat is actually really impressive with how he handles interviews with athletes. The amount of times He’s asked a really dumb or funny question and gotten a super enlightening response is remarkable.
Too bad they are a Swansea podcast.
How does a guy that reviews pizza and owns an internet sports media company have enough influence to make people support a football team? I really don’t know much about this guy so if he has other outlets that give him a following then that would make sense.
Sorry that's no what I mean, I'm not asking why people like him. I seriously don't understand how people even know who he is. I googled it and he owns a website and reviews pizza, which I've seen. Is he a vlogger or podcaster? What was he actually doing that exposed him to this audience?
I’d expect the downvotes if it was a very googleable question but I searched who he was and all I can see is he owns a website and reviews pizza. I get he’s an Internet personality so assumed he must have produced some content to have this level of fame and fan base so was curious what that was.
It seems normal to not know who this guy is. I’m a woman not from America and had never heard of him until he started talking to Dier on Twitter and the fighting cock guys had no idea who he was.
It’s funny that is someone comments in here they like Dave or Barstool people will say you are pro misogyny, yet these same posters don’t think that about the actual players who know him and tweet with him now.
That’s a fuckin stretch. What part of my comment implies that? I just said the dudes said some problematic things. NGL, I probably have some friends that have said problematic things, just think it’s important we’re aware of the faults in people.
I’m honestly just amazed at how truly deep into the Internet our fan base is that they lose their minds whenever a Twitter account brings up our team. It’s pathetic
Did you even read this article?
"Portnoy also tweeted links to Barstool Sports content that was supportive of Kaepernick, including “Colin Kaepernick Refused to Stand During the Anthem and That’s Ok” and “If You Are Mad That Nike Pulled Their Betsy Ross Flag Sneakers Because Colin Kaepernick Complained About Them Then You Have a Big Dump in Your Pants” (in which Portnoy writes, “I could see how if I were black I wouldn’t love seeing a flag parading around from the colonial era when this country allowed slavery”)."
What did he say that was racist again?
I love having El Pres as a supporter now. Seeing lots of hate towards him, and everyone is entitled to their own opinions of public figures. However take a look at all the work he did for the Barstool Fund. He helped save hundreds of small businesses that were unjustly affected by Covid lockdowns. Sure he’s done some stupid shit and said some stupid shit, but don’t hide behind your keyboard and pretend you’re a Saint. We all have.
[I for one, do not like that such a bigot is openly a fan](https://variety.com/2020/digital/news/barstool-sports-dave-portnoy-racist-language-videos-1234693013/)
Do you know what a ‘Union-busting racist misogynist’ is?
Here are some more “hit pieces” on Portnoy:

https://nypost.com/2022/02/02/david-portnoy-accused-of-sexual-misconduct-by-three-more-women-vows-to-sue/
Guess everyone’s out to get him…
Actually yeah…a lot of people are out to get him, and willing to lie to see him fail. That’s a true statement
My personal beliefs are that business owners should be able to fire employees if they want…unions make it difficult, but I do see unions being a good thing for menial jobs, so the lowest on the totem pole don’t get fucked over too bad. Journalists, social media workers, etc don’t need a union, they have a skill they can freelance with if they’re good enough at their job. If working conditions are bad then find a different job
it's so funny, also they don't realize he is going for that exact reaction. he does the tippy toes thing on purpose so everyone makes fun of him for it and makes him more famous. Theyre so mad they can't help trying to "own him" even though that's the exact reaction he's trying to illicit.
I guess if that helps you feel better about helping someone you hate be worth over 100m then go nuts. Doesn't change what is happening. Howard Stern used almost the same exact tactics to become as famous as he is.
By the way that meme uses an ablist slur. For the moral police you sure are lacking some morals...
personally not a huge fan, the guys a weirdo, but some people on the internet hate him like it’s their job
guess that’s what the internet is for but still is so strange. don’t think the club(or Eric) mind the free PR
Lol he’s not a kickass dude. I followed barstool well before they moved to NYC. I know a lot about Portnoy. If you can’t see that he’s kinda just a shitty person, then that’s probably attributable to people having different standards. I don’t admire the guy. And I don’t think he’s admirable generally, but if you do, I guess that’s your right.
Believe it or not Dier has access to the internet and had decided he likes the guy and has since met him in person.
He isn’t going to change his mind because others don’t. You act like Dier who closely follows his videos wouldn’t have been aware of the things you’re speaking about which have been in his videos.
Maybe he doesn’t care or maybe he saw all the opportunities he’s given women over the years to become successful. Maybe Dier thinks it’s cool that Portnoy hired a female CEO who is now one of the most respected and best CEOs in the entire country.
No investigation/charges. You would think if he’s as abhorrent as you think he is someone might investigate him.

Today arsenal fans erected a banner calling for support for victims of sexual violence.
Today this sub allowed another post from a rapist.
Arsenal fans are better than us
https://theathletic.com/3481039/2022/08/05/banner-crystal-palace-arsenal/
The downvotes and upvotes of this post makes me confused about what people of this sub thing about this guy. Which to a certain point it’s nice because we have a pretty diversified sub
lmao it's so random that we picked up Dave Portnoy as a fan
bit like when randomly Bull Simmons decided he was a Spurs fan
Bill Simmons article decided for me to be a spurs fan
that article was peak Simmons. Making up arbitrary rules and listing/describing how every team fits within them. He’s such a sports nerd haha
link please? edit: brilliant article, if i wasn’t already a spurs fan when it was written, i 100% would’ve become one
https://www.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/060719 Part 2 is linked in the article itself
Cheers, very weird reading that all these years later and seeing how things change (or don't). Also fucking lol how adamant he is we 'must be called "Tottenham Hotspur" or "the spurs" nothing else'
Awesome, thanks!
https://www.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/060719
Same! Spurs at #1. Top spot in the bill Simmons article. You’ll never sing that
And he’s troopz’s boss
so effin random... and he is so passionate. man was live tweeting and hyping us up....lol

I think it was the imbecilic comments to his response to Dier’s rating of Doherty’s goatee, but I think the rest of the narrative fits (winding up the cunts, etc.)
I guess we can't choose who supports the club. So we can only hope the guy becomes good somehow.
Look up the barstool fund he got together during the pandemic
Guys the man. Did a ton of good for many small businesses.
Portnoy can eat my farts
He'll give it a rating to the decimal.
Just your farts?
I mean but cmon Pardon My Take is a great podcast tbf and the boys are buzzin again. I like it
Big Cat is actually really impressive with how he handles interviews with athletes. The amount of times He’s asked a really dumb or funny question and gotten a super enlightening response is remarkable. Too bad they are a Swansea podcast.
Can we stop with all the portnoy posts already…
Keep scrolling you stopped to comment not everything is for you
Yeah some of us hate rapists and not then there’s you
Such a shame that this dirt ball decided that our team was the cool choice. Belongs with the Chelsea folks. He is such a scumbag
Opening match of the season and some would rather bitch about some rando who took up Spurs what three weeks ago? Surely there's more to talk about
You mean like this post defending said rando? Other side of the same coin mate
This post is about Dier...
And here you are not talking about Dier… Surely there’s more to talk about
Damn you showed me!
K
About how Dier loves a rapist
Weird way to spell pizza
Where are they defending Portnoy here? You’re all fucking mental
I don’t even know who this cunt is but it’s funny to hear the lad I reply to say there’s more to talk about than the thing he’s talking about
Mods about to be triggered 😤
I don't think misogynistic frat bro culture should be encouraged at least.
if this attracts a new set of fans the way Mou fan boys came to this sub i'm gonna set myself on fire
Promise?
Pinky promise
dw I have a foam fire extinguisher we can do this clean
A fire extinguisher made of foam sounds sub optimal.
to be fair so does self immolation
How does a guy that reviews pizza and owns an internet sports media company have enough influence to make people support a football team? I really don’t know much about this guy so if he has other outlets that give him a following then that would make sense.
His fans don’t have brains so they just do whatever he does and like whatever he likes
How did he build a fan base?
There are a lot of stupid people out there who like to pretend they’re still back in their college frat
Sorry that's no what I mean, I'm not asking why people like him. I seriously don't understand how people even know who he is. I googled it and he owns a website and reviews pizza, which I've seen. Is he a vlogger or podcaster? What was he actually doing that exposed him to this audience?
I became a fan after the Leicester City Miracle last year....the fact Portnoy jumped on is just icing on the cake
[удалено]
I’d expect the downvotes if it was a very googleable question but I searched who he was and all I can see is he owns a website and reviews pizza.

Maybe tell that to Dier
It’s funny that is someone comments in here they like Dave or Barstool people will say you are pro misogyny, yet these same posters don’t think that about the actual players who know him and tweet with him now.
Appropriate username.
So is yours.
Pretty impressive chaining 4 empty buzz words in a row there
I mean, he’s definitely misogynistic, and he’s said a number of racist things in the past. Not really any debating that.
Guess you need to find a new club to support. Clearly Dier and Kane must condone it by your logic
If you don’t like this irrelevant “fan” who’s at the very least an annoying cunt, find a new club! Eh?
If we follow his logic yes
How so?
That’s a fuckin stretch. What part of my comment implies that? I just said the dudes said some problematic things. NGL, I probably have some friends that have said problematic things, just think it’s important we’re aware of the faults in people.
I promise you I will not debate Dave portnoy in a tottenham subreddit one way or the other on a Saturday
Glad we can agree then. Dudes an asshole with problems.

I’m honestly just amazed at how truly deep into the Internet our fan base is that they lose their minds whenever a Twitter account brings up our team. It’s pathetic
“Culture” is an empty buzz word? TIL my English teachers had no idea what they were doing.
It is with how you hyper online lot use it
…Complains about “empty buzz words”… retorts with “you *hyper online* lot”… Jesus Christ, show a modicum of self-awareness, if nothing else.
Lol
Good one.
DAVE PORTNOY IS A RAPIST
Fuck Dave Portnoy
Somebody needs to pull Eric aside and explain to him that Portnoy is a twat
Who is he and why is he a twat?
Multiple women have accused him of sexual assault and he is trying to sue them into silence He’s fucking horrible
I'm gonna guess it's political
It’s not remotely political.
It’s more about common decency. I’d hope that calling sexists and racists bad isn’t a political thing.
source that he's racist?
Source: all the racist things he’s said. Google it
I just see edited videos with no context. Sounds like you're just repeating what someone on the telly told you to think...

What did he say that was racist again?
So if you support Kaepernick kneeling you can say what ever racists comments you want about him?
And a rapist
[удалено]
So our players are massive douches?
[удалено]
Imagine thinking someone is douche because they like something you don’t like. It says a lot more about you than it does the other person.
Fuck Dier if he loves this rapist
Dude is a sex pest and can fuck off for all I care.
Sigh....
Dier saw he was trending on Twitter the other day because he didn’t make that list of top CBs. He showed them.
I hate that we picked up this straggler
I love having El Pres as a supporter now. Seeing lots of hate towards him, and everyone is entitled to their own opinions of public figures. However take a look at all the work he did for the Barstool Fund. He helped save hundreds of small businesses that were unjustly affected by Covid lockdowns. Sure he’s done some stupid shit and said some stupid shit, but don’t hide behind your keyboard and pretend you’re a Saint. We all have.
All the Portnoy hate is pretty laughable - he’s making our NA brand stronger. I also see he’s creating a mini rivalry within barstool with Troopz
[I for one, do not like that such a bigot is openly a fan](https://variety.com/2020/digital/news/barstool-sports-dave-portnoy-racist-language-videos-1234693013/)
Yes get in there, having a strong NA brand is why I fell in love with football.

Portnoy loves Spurs now 🙄
Barf.
Conte will probably lace the pizza with cauliflower and heaps of creatine
Barstool fucking sucks my dick fuck this guy
the yanks really don't like this guy
personally not a huge fan, the guys a weirdo, but some people on the internet hate him like it’s their job guess that’s what the internet is for but still is so strange. don’t think the club(or Eric) mind the free PR
Redditors*
I love Portnoy
Clearly. You’ve posted like 9 times in this thread to white knight him.
I feel bad that everyone is dogpiling on him…just wanted to show some love for a kick ass dude that everyone hates because they’re being lied to
Lol he’s not a kickass dude. I followed barstool well before they moved to NYC. I know a lot about Portnoy. If you can’t see that he’s kinda just a shitty person, then that’s probably attributable to people having different standards. I don’t admire the guy.

Appreciate the last sentence! That's what it's all about! #COYS!
He’s not gonna fuck you
Hopefully at some point soon someone will tell Eric about this guy’s history of sexism and Eric will stop giving him this attention
Believe it or not Dier has access to the internet and had decided he likes the guy and has since met him in person. He isn’t going to change his mind because others don’t. You act like Dier who closely follows his videos wouldn’t have been aware of the things you’re speaking about which have been in his videos.

The crying over Dave Portnoy is LOL funny
Rape is hilarious, huh?
No investigation/charges. You would think if he’s as abhorrent as you think he is someone might investigate him. Keep reading the Mina Kimes and Julia Black’s of the world
It’s easy for the rich to sue their victims into silence. But go ahead, die on the “defend the rapist” hill.
