Because the reality of the world is you have to be an asshole to make it to the top. The kind, generous owner will rarely outpace the owner that is willing to underpay their employees to the skin of their teeth.

The company has weighed in on political topics though. Pizzabro has gone on Tucker Carlson before and decried safe spaces.
Ah, I didn't know that. I don't visit the site or read their stuff. I know enough about them from osmosis and post-college aged friends who used to find the shit funny years ago.
I mean it's pretty clear where they stand in regards to other social issues too just by reading pretty much any of their posts.
Sorta
They're also super pro greek life which means they're pretty fucking awful.
Everything Barstool does is for attention. Just ignore them, people.
