I recently wrote a book about Dave Portnoy (now in Barnes & Noble). He doesn’t want anyone to read it so he wrote his own. Lol. simonandschuster.com/books/H… @stoolpresidente

I wrote a book about the history of Barstool and Dave Portnoy (now in Barnes & Noble). You can find it here: a.co/d/9pYbjs4 The book covers all the controversies and lays out how Portnoy crossed the line in the name of comedy. He was quite successful in building a brand that wasn’t afraid to offend people. I respect Dave for being a voice of his community. I have no idea what it feels like to feel persecuted. So I am not saying he’s wrong in his stance on this. I am wondering, as Kirk was, where is the line? I’ll reference one moment from the book. Portnoy had a racist rant about Colin Kaepernick. He said, “So I’m going to say something racist. When I first heard the story (of him not standing for the anthem) I was like ‘Oh he’s an ISIS guy…throw a head wrap on this guy he’s a terrorist…I guess he’s black. Ok I don’t know that; I thought he was Arabic. When I think of an Arabic person not standing for the national anthem, I go terrorist right away.” He also included a side by side photo of Kaepernick and Bin Laden, photoshopped side by side, which I included in this tweet. And according to a former employee Willie Colon: “I had a long conversation with Dave about it (the Kapernick rant). Dave never apologized. Dave explained why he was wrong in some instances but never apologized…Dave said he understood what he was saying was racist, and as I was sitting there I thought ‘Bro is this kind of shady’. And Dave asked me, ‘Willie, after 9/11, did you not think when you saw someone with a turban on, you didn’t think of a terrorist, that person could do something?’ I said ‘Dave, I’m from New York. I went to school with Muslims.” (You can listen to Colon’s explanation here: podchaser.com/podcasts/2bigg…). I wonder how people from a certain religion felt about Portnoy’s rant/jokes about Kaepernick. How he jokingly called him a terrorist because he thought he was Arabic and not standing for the anthem. Or his alleged feelings towards people with turbans on (again, according to Colon). They’d probably argue that kind of stuff isn’t great for preventing ppl from attacking them. Anyway, my book explores how the line is constantly changing, and how Barstool rode it. It’s not a hit piece (you can read the reviews confirming that), it’s supposed to be entertaining, and just telling the story of what happened. But I thought this was interesting/relevant given today’s Unnamed Show episode. @stoolpresidente @kirkmin @kirkminshow @erika_ @nypost @BostonGlobe @awfulannouncing @DailyMail @chicagotribune @nytimes @bostonherald @barstoolunnamed

Hey all. As some of you know I recently wrote a book about Dave. He talked about it yesterday. I’m have some upcoming press about it and will be sure to talk about #jailstool. Thanks everyone!

My book about Dave Portnoy just came out and he finally acknowledged it. It’s called How the Jester Became King and I worked on it for four years. It’s awesome. I’m a first-time author so if you could spread the word it would mean more than you know. Thanks.

Is anyone at Barstool going to acknowledge my new book about Dave Portnoy and the company? “How the Jester Became King” It’s front page of The Daily Mail today and in every Barnes & Noble in the US. dailymail.co.uk/sport/others… @stoolpresidente @BarstoolBigCat @KFCBarstool @PeterChernin @erika_ @hen_ease @barstoolsports @BarstoolRia @BarstoolFran @Jerrythekid21 @jackmac @BarstoolNate @OnlyInBOS @Outkick @ryanwhitney6 @kirkmin @kirkminshow @Variety @stoolsalesguy @Forbes @ClayTravis @WEEI @BarstoolTrent @FeitsBarstool @stoolgambling @BostonGlobe @bostonherald @RollingStone @FoxNews @TuckerCarlson @NEWSMAX @GQMagazine @business @BusinInsider @BussinWTB @Forbes @joerogan @DailyMail @realDailyWire
