I have been following Barstools Sports for a while now and their owner/leader David Portnoy on social media. It’s brilliant. The content they publish is crude, opinionated and at times inappropriate and that’s their aim. It seems to be taken with a grain of salt by their followers with many people agreeing or challenging the articles and stories they publish but happy to move on straight after. Reason I bring it up is I am growing frustrated that people aren’t allowed an opinion without it getting analysed to a T. Kane Cornes said on the footyshow the Alex Jezz. mark was over-rated and his comment made the radio, papers, social media ect and everyone wants to shut him down. Why can’t Australians accept an opinion and enjoy a barstools type product?
