Dave Portnoy and Jason Whitlock are immersed in a fiery Twitter war, and it’s getting petty.
On Tuesday, Whitlock, a sports commentator and host for Blaze Media, called out the Barstool Sports founder in an article stating that Portnoy is a “total fraud and sellout.”
Whitlock also said in a Twitter video that Portnoy would be delivering pizza in his native Boston if it weren’t for his wealth.
Portnoy fired back at Whitlock in a series of tweets, calling Whitlock “fat” among other things.
Dave Portnoy, El Presidente, is a fraud. He has no redeeming qualities other than his wealth. Remove his money, and he wouldn’t have a friend in this world. If we weren’t living in an era completely hostile to masculinity, Portnoy would be broke in Boston delivering pizza. pic.twitter.com/xw98rzaShj

“Portnoy built a sports media empire pretending to be a fearless ESPN disruptor standing against the wokefication of sports and American culture. It’s now clear he’s a total fraud and sellout. His lone interests are money and access to barely legal women. He sold Barstool to a gambling company for hundreds of millions of dollars, and now Barstool is every bit as woke as ESPN,” Whitlock continued — referring to a reported deal last week that Barstool will be fully acquired by Penn Entertainment, a casino and racetrack operator, for $387 million.
Portnoy then tweeted a video of Whitlock from December — in which the “Fearless” host suggested that Portnoy is “the most disruptive and influential force in sports media” — and said “you forgot to delete this one.”
In response to that, Whitlock said, “I used to be a big fan of Howard Stern’s. He sold out, too. That’s what people with no compass besides money do. Colin Kaepernick was my favorite quarterback. I could go on forever about things and people I used to support. People sellout, I move on.”
Portnoy also released a statement that claimed he is “under attack” by critics because he is “brash, not politically correct and has told a few jokes in his day.”
I'm getting a lot of dumb responses but this might be the dumbest. You think I'm chasing the approval of Knockoff Portnoy? You ain't that stupid, are you? My actions speak pretty loudly. https://t.co/Hoe5yUKjRl
