Reddit Requests An “Ask Me Anything” From El Presidente Dave Portnoy
Reddit user PlanedPat - I’d like to request an AMA of David Portnoy, the owner and head blogger for Barstool Sports, the greatest sports and news blog / smut empire in the world. Are there more people working for you than the ones mentioned on the blog? Is there a “behind the scenes” team? Do the majority of your profits come from advertising on the blog or from the Blackouts and Fckin’ Foam tour? How did you get started with Barstool? I’m sure some fellow stoolies can come up with some more / better questions. Come on Pageviews, throw yourself to the mercy of reddit.
Welp looks like this is finally the thing thats gonna make me join Reddit. Up until now I never even really looked at Reddit. Not even Obama doing an “AMA” got me involved. To be honest I don’t even get it. Looks like one huge internet forum. The only time I end up in those sort of user forums with people posting questions and answers and links is when I’m on Yahoo Answers or something trying to find out info on STDs. For my friend, of course. But I feel like I’m not alone there. Most average Stoolies aren’t gonna be on Reddit. Fuck, most Stoolies complain that they don’t even like Twitter. So as far as I’m concerned, Reddit is like the last frontier Barstool needs to break into. Its the last step before total global domination. Its a doozy of a step though. Redditors seem like the quintessential lunatic internet dwellers. They’re already posting wacky shit on this request:
Nooo! David Portnoy represents only the most disgusting empire. It’s the largest online collection of misogynistic, homophobic guys in the Boston area and he’s their stupid ring leader. I don’t think the Reddit community needs to inflate his ego any larger. ~ Northern_nurse
I’d like to see him do it, but most people on Reddit are way too nerdy to appreciate Barstool. At best, they sip tea and read Deadspin. ~ ChimneyFish
This should just go swimmingly! But its like some Ric Flair shit. To be the man, you gotta beat the man. The road to own the internet goes through Reddit. I feel like this is supposed to just be a friendly Q&A session and this will inevitably end up in Reddit vs. Barstool internet controversy. Normal vs. Nerdy. Blogger vs. Trolls. El Presidente vs. The Reddit Alien. This is some Internet Wrestlemania shit.
UPDATE: Challenge accepted by El Pres. Wednesday, January 9th, time TBA. Dave Portnoy‘s Reddit AMA.
reddit is stupid
Slow day huh?
Just put another gun in your bullet and let em have it Pres! People love it when you get interviewed!
Without Reddit where would Barstool’s content come from? He owes it to them. To see how a poorly executed AMA can go, check out Woody Harrelson’s – it ain’t that bad. Just some more pissed off nerds.
any interview that doesn’t require prez to get in front of the camera is ok by me
Northern_Nurse sounds like a cunt. Why can’t nurses be like the ones in “Night nurses from jersey?”
Whatever, fuck her if she can’t take a joke.
LOOK AT THAT NOSE!!!
@harry Probably can’t take a dick either.
Are you taking the rest of the week off you lazy eyed squid?
and I love their obsession with trying to paint you as a homophobe. she carefully called your audience homophobes, which is unfortunately completely true, but you don’t promote homophobia or racism, its just too thick in your reader/commenter base to really keep at bay
Just get ready for a lot of weird questions that even we lowly, homophobic, misogynistic Barstool commenters would blanch at. Actually no, probably not. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone on Reddit talking about letting an attractive woman taking a dump on their chest. You should be fine.
P.S. If this was a Wrestlemania event, what music you coming out to?

She’s insane. We love hot women, and no one likes hot dick and fags more than EP.
How is the blog homophobic when every post is the madman dude rubbing his dick I bieber
KFC claims he has never been to Reddit, while Prez counts down the top 100 viral videos of the year, in which 90% of them came from Reddit. they’re a bunch of weirdos but they are the foundation of Barstool and most sites.
Saying you stole something from Reddit is like saying you stole something from Twitter. No kidding that video or that story was on Reddit, everything on the internet is on reddit
Deadspin is way better than barstool
^ Deadspin/Gawker is liberal nonsense.
89% of the writers for Gawker are ghey. Deadspin is ok but Magary’s act is getting very old. Lifehacker is very useful. io9 is intelligent. Jezebel is for cunts. Never tried Kotaku. Too bad they dropped Fleshbot.
True, but Reddit’s insane activity turns popular videos into viral videos, then you guys blog about them and i laugh
