Barstool Sports

Barstool began in 2003 as a weekly print publication distributed for free at transit stops in the Boston metropolitan area that offered gambling advertisements and fantasy sports projections but later expanded to encompass other topics. It launched on the Internet in 2007.{{cite news |url=http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/229401-1 |first=Jason |last=Ankeny |title=The Man Behind the 'Bible of Bro Culture' |work=Entrepreneur |date=December 13, 2013}} The site was headquartered in Milton, Massachusetts, identifiable with a cardboard sign with the site's name written in ballpoint pen.

Portnoy hired Kevin Clancy in 2009 and launched Barstool New York, the blog's first major move outside the Boston area. Barstool ceased publication of the print version in 2010 and transitioned to a web-only model.

In August 2011, the site received criticism over nude photos of American football quarterback Tom Brady's two-year-old son, which was accompanied by comments saying the child had a "howitzer", which a former prosecutor suggested was sexualization of a minor.{{cite news |last=Stevens|first=Carl|url=http://boston.cbslocal.com/2011/08/12/barstool-founder-defends-posting-naked-photos-of-tom-bradys-son/ |title=Barstool founder defends posting naked photos of Tom Brady's son |publisher=CBS Boston|date=August 12, 2011|access-date=February 10, 2014}} Portnoy argued that the comments were meant to be humorous in tone and were not intended to be seen as sexual.

Critics allege that comments on the site by Portnoy and others normalize rape culture.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}} Comments that have sparked debate include a post on a 2010 blog in which Portnoy said Even though I never condone rape if you're a size 6 and you're wearing skinny jeans you kind of deserve to be raped right?"{{cite news | first=Tyler |last=Kingkade|date=March 27, 2012 | url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/22/barstool-sports-rape-joke-_n_1293328.html |title=Barstool Sports rape 'joke' sparks blackout party backlash |work=The Huffington Post |access-date=February 10, 2014}} This was a joke about an Australian court case in which a judge stated that a woman wearing skinny jeans could not be raped as they were too tight to be taken off without consent.{{Cite web |last=COURTS |first=Bellinda Kontominas |date=2010-04-30 |title=Rape of woman in skinny jeans 'not possible' |url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/rape-of-woman-in-skinny-jeans-not-possible-20100430-tzai.html |access-date=2025-05-08 |website=The Sydney Morning Herald |language=en}}

Other elements that have received criticism include comments such as "we don't condone rape of any kind at our Blackout Parties ... however if a chick passes out that's a gray area".{{cite news|work=The New Hampshire |publisher=University of New Hampshire |title=Editorial: Knockout Barstool – When college humor goes too far |date=February 13, 2012 |url=http://www.tnhonline.com/editorial-knockout-barstool-1.2778521 |access-date=February 10, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140221174213/http://www.tnhonline.com/editorial-knockout-barstool-1.2778521 |archive-date=February 21, 2014 }} Portnoy, in response, has stated that, "...It's not our intent, with jokes, to poke fun at rape victims," while pointing out the satirical nature of the site's content.{{Cite web|url = https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2012/02/12/barstool-podium/vh8lAlHxgfd9B4p4A8XwdN/story.html|title = The Barstool podium|date = February 12, 2012|work = The Boston Globe |first=Joanna |last=Weiss}} A Northeastern University protest group called Knockout Barstool held a demonstration outside of a 2012 Blackout party at Boston's House of Blues.{{cite news | title=Knockout group protests Barstool party | work=The Huntington News | date=February 3, 2012 | last=Dobbs | first=Taylor | url=http://huntnewsnu.com/2012/02/knockout-barstool-protest/ | access-date=February 10, 2014}} Portnoy has been openly dismissive of the protest group, referring to them as "serial protesters", "nutbags" and "crazy bitches".{{cite news | title=Controversial 'Blackout Parties' Flee Boston | date=March 30, 2012 | last=Kagan | first=Aaron | work=Eater Boston | url=http://boston.eater.com/archives/2012/03/30/controversial-blackout-parties-flee-boston.php |access-date=February 10, 2014 }}

By 2013, Barstool Sports had expanded to five cities, including Philadelphia and Chicago, with a university-focused BarstoolU brand. Each franchise had its own editorial staff and voice and operated autonomously from the main Barstool Sports blog. The blogger team published around 70 to 80 posts each weekday. According to Entrepreneur.com in December 2013, more than four million unique users visited Barstool monthly, with over 80 million page views.{{cite news |last1=Ankeny |first1=Jason |title=The Man Behind the 'Bible of Bro Culture' |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna53821689 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225214705/https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna53821689 |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 25, 2021 |access-date=26 September 2023 |work=Entrepreneur.com |publisher=NBC News |date=2013-12-13}}

In 2011 and 2012, the BarstoolU brand ran the "Barstool Blackout Tour," a series of electronic dance parties with as many as 2,500 attendees at venues in cities and college towns on the East Coast and in the Midwest.{{cite news |title='Blackout Parties' Draw Inebriated Students, Police and Ambulances |url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/blackout-parties-bring-alcohol-poisoning-unruly-crowds-college/story?id=16041033 |access-date=29 September 2023 |work=ABC News |date=2012-03-30}} The parties were criticized for promoting excessive drinking and allowing underage drinking, as well as four assaults that have happened at the proceedings.{{cite news | last=Wedge | first=Dave | date=February 9, 2012 | title=Mayor Menino not taking 'blackout' bashes lightly | url=http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2012/02/mayor_menino_not_taking_%E2%80%98blackout%E2%80%99_bashes_lightly | access-date=February 10, 2014 | work=Boston Herald }} In February 2012, Boston mayor Thomas M. Menino expressed concern through a spokesperson over the parties' promotion of "excessive drinking to the point of blacking out" and that such promotion would not be a good message for the city. Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission agents and club security at a House of Blues event in Boston the following month confiscated 300 fake identifications and refused admission for around three-fourths of the event's 2000 ticket holders.{{cite news | title=Barstool "Blackout" parties leaving Boston, founder says | date=March 29, 2012 | last=Zaremba | first=John | work=Boston Herald | url=http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2012/03/barstool_%E2%80%9Cblackout%E2%80%9D_parties_leaving_boston_founder_says | access-date=February 10, 2014 }} Shortly thereafter Portnoy announced that the company would not be scheduling more of the events in Boston, stating that "it just doesn't seem like Boston is friendly to nightlife of our sort, at least".

By 2016, Barstool claimed to pull in 250 million views per month. On January 7, 2016, private equity firm The Chernin Group (TCG) purchased a 51% majority stake in Barstool Sports, valuing the company at between $10 and $15 million.{{Cite web |last=Kulwin |first=Noah |date=2016-01-07 |title=The Chernin Group Is Taking a Majority Stake In Controversial Website Barstool Sports |url=http://recode.net/2016/01/07/the-chernin-group-is-taking-a-majority-stake-in-controversial-website-barstool-sports/ |access-date=2016-01-07 |website=Re/code}}{{Cite web |last=Marcus |first=Daniel |date=2020-01-17 |title=Barstool Sports Closing In On Goal Of 'Owning The Moon' |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/danielmarcus/2020/01/17/barstool-sports-closing-in-on-goal-of-owning-the-moon/ |access-date=2021-01-30 |website=Forbes |language=en}} According to Chernin Group president of digital Mike Kerns, Kerns was put in contact with Portnoy via mutual friend and former University of Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen. After an initial phone call, Kerns flew to Boston to have dinner with Portnoy, discuss the Barstool vision, and begin preliminary investment talks.{{Cite web |last=Portnoy |first=Dave |title=The Dave Portnoy Show |url=http://www.podcastone.com/the-dave-portnoy-show |access-date=2016-03-07 |website=www.podcastone.com}}

Following the TCG investment, the company moved its headquarters from Boston to New York City. Portnoy continued to run the site and retained complete creative control as Chief of Content. On July 19, 2016, Erika Nardini, former chief marketing officer of AOL, was announced as the CEO of Barstool Sports.{{Cite web |last=Spangler |first=Todd |date=2016-07-19 |title=Erika Nardini, Ex-CMO of AOL, Joins Dude-Focused Barstool Sports as CEO |url=https://variety.com/2016/digital/news/erika-nardini-barstool-sports-chernin-1201817333/ |access-date=2020-06-12 |website=Variety |language=en}} In 2020, Chernin relinquished control of Barstool as part of the Penn National Gaming partnership. Also in 2016, Barstool bought Old Row Sports, another sports blog, for an estimated $10 to US$15 million.{{Cite web |last=Parker |first=Garrett |date=2016-09-19 |title=Barstool Sports Acquires Old Row Sports |url=https://moneyinc.com/barstool-sports-is-acquiring-old-row-sports/ |access-date=2025-01-08 |website=Money Inc |language=en-US}}

According to Vox, Barstool generated between $90 and $100 million in revenue in 2019, with the majority from podcasts, merchandise sales, and gambling deals. On January 29, 2020, casino company Penn National Gaming purchased a 36% stake in Barstool Sports for $135 million in cash and $28 million in preferred stock, valuing Barstool at $450 million. Penn National would have the option to pay an additional $62 million in 3 years to increase its stake to 50%. Penn's investment was seen as part of a growing trend of gambling and media companies to partner to capitalize on the anticipated boom in online gambling after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed sports betting in Murphy v.

The company subsequently launched Barstool Sportsbook, a mobile application for sports betting, in Pennsylvania on September 18, 2020. During its first week of operation, it handled $11 million in wagers. In January 2021, the company announced that the Sportsbook would expand to Michigan. Penn National announced that they would be matching all first-time deposits by donating to the Barstool Fund, raising a total of $4,550,280 for Michigan small businesses.{{Cite web|date=2020-09-25|title=How Much Money Was Bet At Barstool Sportsbook On Opening Weekend?|url=https://www.legalsportsreport.com/44482/barstool-sportsbook-app-pa-handle/|access-date=2020-10-06|website=Legal Sports Report|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|last=Wojcik|first=Nick|date=2020-09-18|title=Barstool Sportsbook Launched in Pennsylvania|url=https://www.lineups.com/betting/barstool-sportsbook-launched-in-pennsylvania/|access-date=2020-10-06|website=Lineups.com Betting|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|date=2020-09-08|title=Penn National Gaming to Soft Launch Barstool Sportsbook App in Pennsylvania on September 15|url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200908005653/en/Penn-National-Gaming-to-Soft-Launch-Barstool-Sportsbook-App-in-Pennsylvania-on-September-15|access-date=2020-10-06|website=www.businesswire.com|language=en}}

On July 27, 2021, Barstool Sports became the new title sponsor of the Arizona Bowl and would have exclusive international broadcast rights.

Under Penn's ownership, Barstool experienced a wave of criticism from its audience over inflammatory and politically charged content. Most of the content in question was posted in support of controversial progressive social causes during the 2020 civil unrest. Perhaps the most noteworthy example was a June 2020 episode of the "Schnitt Talk" podcast where a guest explicitly encouraged listeners to "burn down a police precinct". Host Ellie Schnitt excitedly responded by saying "I agree with that".{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_BRMlOx1Ag | title=Ellie Schnitt - This is War - the Story from Start to Current | website=YouTube | date=June 17, 2020 }} The episode was followed by weeks of intense backlash from the company's audience, as well as a rebuke from Portnoy (a staunch supporter of first responders).

On August 8, 2023, Dave Portnoy announced that Penn Entertainment had ended its relationship with Barstool Sports and had divested ownership of the company back to him. Penn had announced a $2 billion agreement with ESPN to rebrand Barstool Sportsbook as ESPN Bet, and the sale was intended to relieve Penn of "non-compete and other restrictive covenants" tied to its ownership of Barstool. Portnoy stated, "The regulated industry is probably not the best place for Barstool Sports and the type of content we make". The agreement stipulates that Penn will receive 50% of the gross proceeds of any future sale of Barstool, but Portnoy stated that he planned to maintain his ownership of the site "till I die".{{Cite web |last=Bucholtz |first=Andrew |date=2023-08-08 |title=Dave Portnoy buys back 100 percent of Barstool Sports from Penn |url=https://awfulannouncing.com/barstool/dave-portnoy-buys-back-company-from-penn.html |access-date=2023-08-09 |website=Awful Announcing |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Maruf |first=Ramishah |date=2023-08-08 |title=ESPN is jumping into sports gambling in a $2 billion deal |url=https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/08/business/penn-entertainment-barstool-sports-espn/index.html |access-date=2023-08-09 |website=CNN |language=en}}

Barstool was described as the "Bible of Bro Culture" and a must-read for the "dude zeitgeist" for its committed audience of young men, primarily in the 18–35 age demographic, who felt disenfranchised by the mainstream media.
