Barstool Sports Talk Show on ESPN cancelled after just 1 episode

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

I don't watch much of the 4-letter network, so I missed any promotions of the show and missed the show itself.

It sounds like they were worried that content would get them in trouble with the PC crowd.

Wow, ESPN sounds so together.

 

[JMC00]

Nah Samantha Ponder and Sarah Spain complained and ESPN management cowered to them.

But now Samantha Ponder and Sarah Spain are being absolutely found out as complete hypocrites.

Jenn Sterger put those 2 and ESPN, to steal a phrase from El Press, "in a body bag" today.

 

[jah]

Barstool is incredibly stupid though.

 

[VectorPrime]

I hate Barstool so whatever.

 

[QuantumMechanic]

Barstool is incredibly stupid though.

And Portnoy is a plagiarist.

 

[Deus Irae]

It's just another example of ESPN circling the drain and still refusing to see the problem.

According to Sterger's tweets, ESPN apparently has their own little Harvey Weinstein working there. She talked about a story where she was harassed by an executive and said she has gotten several PM's from other women with the same problem.

I'd love to see this blow up in ESPN's faces.

I guess I'm missing something here. How does this make Samantha Ponder and Sarah Spain hypocrites? Sure, it might make ESPN look bad, but they always find a way to look bad.

ESPN took them out of desperation.
Like a desperate marriage it was born to fail.

They were very outspoken in their criticism of ESPN having a show that featured Barstool Sports due to Barstool Sports' treatment of women in the past.

Or as completely expected it became the ****show that everyone assumed it would be given the morons that are involved on both sides.

I still don't get it.

Look, I'm not trying to be difficult or pick a fight. I understand that ESPN looks breathtakingly hypocritical and idiotic (which is par for the course). But there's no reason to believe that Samantha Ponder and Sarah Spain knew about Jenn Sterger when they made their comments.

Barstool is frequently pretty funny, and a bunch of them went to jail over deflategate...for the publicity, sure, but also driven by the genuine rage we all felt about it.

It's not PC, but Barstool's one of the good guys.

I can easily see that some would think Barstool objectifies women and ESPN has way bigger advertisers to please than the Stool.

Gawd. They need to leave the programming to the execs.

They should go back in the kitchen and make some bacon and eggs.

I wonder if Goody had a hand in this

Samantha Ponder made the following tweet in 2010, so she clearly knew who Sterger was.



According to Sterger, during the Favre incident, Sarah Spain made a remark that Sterger was out for money and also some sort of comment about how Sterger was dressed.

Please note I am not saying I buy everything Sterger is selling as there are 2 sides to every story, but that is Sterger's contention and the basis of the accusations of hypocrisy.

I'm still waiting for my "clown" towel...

I agree that Barstool in general is a bunch of idiots, but the Pardon My Take guys (who were the hosts of this show) aren't so bad. They're basically the only people at Barstool that I don't find annoying as hell.
