Dave Portnoy (Barstool Sports) & NON-Creep Alex Cooper ("Call Her Daddy")

What a Creep
Season 29, Episode 10: Dave Portnoy and Barstool Sports


Dave Portnoy is the founder of Barstool Sports, which Media Matters describes as “a cesspool of bigotry basking in the backlash against political correctness. Under the pretense of sharing funny videos and embracing a boys-will-be-boys mentality, Barstool has successfully normalized a culture of harassment, misogyny, and rampant misinformation.”

On his website, podcasts, and videos, Portnoy shares his garbage takes on politics, tells his rape jokes, and drops the n-bomb, among other things. He’s also been accused of sexual assault multiple times and of filming women without their consent. What a creep.
