Not surprised. Garbage content that perpetuates pretty much everything 'toxic masculjnity' associated with sports fandom.
it's a pretty good name though? Sports bars are very popular and they're trying to give the vibe of a dive-y sports bar. There's plenty to criticize them for, but this feels like a "look at that bitch eating crackers" complaint

I'm sure employer really wants to fire someone, they will find any reason they can to fire that person.
So you can't legally be fired for wanting to form a union but it still happens in reality
Because of loopholes
It's literally a zero effort name. It would be like if I opened a restaurant called "Plates, Knives and Forks". Zero creativity.
You mean the site that employs a guy that compares Yankee fans to nazis and apologizes to nazis for it is scum? Shocker.
And yes, that did happen:

of all things you are gonna say the name is shit. The name means nothing, they are one of the biggest/most recognizable brands out there right now in sports.
But yeh, if you follow anything Portnoy does it becomes pretty clear he is a huge asshole.
How those people ends up at the top of the food chain will aways baffle me.

Of course it is illegal. He will just find any other reason he can find to fire them. Plus I'm sure the employees seen this now, and they are afraid of unemployment.
Tried to post a tweet they made a few days ago rating the attractiveness of a pedophile, but I don't see it showing up.
F**k Barstool sports! I saw them on an episode of Real Sports and they are the ultimate cesspool of sports fandom and journalism. Though these tweets don't surprise me.
I struggle with barstool being pretty problematic and their fans being huge shitbirds....
and their ability to make me laugh consistently. Initially I thought Dave was kidding but this was kinda yikes. I do wonder what their work culture is like since it always looks like everyone is living the dream there.

Lmao, Fantano annoys the shit out of me sometimes, but this is some grade A shit slinging right here; gotta hand it to 'em.
Yeah, none of their employees are looking to unionize. Portnoy knows this, hense why he can get away with a tweet like that.
Just going to quote myself from some time ago.
America's way worse off with the Masshole contagion escaping its provincial borders in a part of the country no one but its own residents gave a fuck about and infecting the whole damn country.
