OT: Barstool media-cred Cancelled by GotoHell

[MitchKumstein]

Eh. That place is a cesspool. That's the place that printed the photos of Tom's naked son a few years ago along with comments about the size of his penis

**** em. They're trash.

Seriously? I never heard about that. I never went to that site, and now I never will

Right but voicing your anti-war opinion is protected under the First Amendment.

Sure, in a public place. Inside a media event paid for by NFL Inc: not so much...

They can go ahead and picket outside, if they want to make a big deal about it.

I think what the NFL did was bogus, but it is their show. I listened to most of BB and Brady's appearances yesterday and there were a lot of absolutely stupid questions coming from the esteemed members of the media. If they were concerned about media members making asses of themselves, they'd have to get rid of at least half of them.

I think Lincoln would agree with you.

I also think what Lincoln would say is that these "journalists" were guilty of spying, sabotage and insurrection. Some were innocent. Some were guilty.

As a student of constitutional law Lincoln knew what he was doing.....and what he could get away with with POTUS war powers.

Only on Patsfans.com do people discuss an EO from 1864.

 

[Nunchucks]

Who cares about Barstool sports? Anybody read about the guy who dropped acid and went to media day? He had a press pass...so, WTF?

It was an interesting story he wrote, that is for sure.

[RIP#40]

It's their event. They can exclude whoever they want. That goes for public press conferences too. Hey, at least it's better than ol' Honest Abe back in his day when he locked up editors and writers who weren't keen on the whole Civil War thing with no charges.

Yep, that Abe was a tyrant.

 

[Kontradiction]

This is some really disturbing ****. It's okay for a corporate entity to bully and attempt to silence media as long as you don't like that media outlet? That's not what America is about.

We have bingo. I'll be the first to admit that Barstool's content is crap compared to what it used to be like but this is the NFL being petty at best. I hope Portnoy and company put them on blast over it.

 

[chasa]

is this what happens when a ****ty person does something to a ****ty person.

who am i supposed to be mad at here?

 

[A Defiant Goose]

This probably has a lot to do with it, from SB 49:

 

[pats4life12]

If they think they are real media that's kind of insulting to real media.

My GOD, Portnoy is such an asshat. He put me on the side of Mike ******* Kensil.

Are we sure equating what a sitting President did 150 years ago during a war of succession is the same as what the NFL does during the Super Bowl?

Eh. That place is a cesspool. That's the place that printed the photos of Tom's naked son a few years ago along with comments about the size of his penis, as well as pictures of Giselle when the family was on vacation in Chile.

**** em. They're trash.

They did what!?? Seriously?

Yeah, locking up people without charges is something that you can definitely be reasonably outraged over while also supporting slavery.

 

[Patjew]

Food on the table.

Brady was pissed. I remember that quite well.

 

[2000army]

I like Barstool a lot. Portnoy has said many times he regretted that he did that and just recently Brady and his son were hoisting a Saturdays are for the Boys flag. Barstool is a lot bigger than just Portnoy now.

That's some top-notch journalism right there. He's clearly deserving of media credentials!

Also, I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that A.J. Daulerio defended this. #notshocked

Thank god there's some sanity here. The rest of you, holy cow lighten up.

Lots of funny stuff on there over the years and certainly not "douche bro" or whatever, Jerry Thornton's one of the best Pats writers around, and silly it may have been, but those guys went to real-world jail over Goodell, which is a lot more than posting "****dell" on a Pats board.

They're on our side, fellas. Relax.

I'm "meh" on Barstool in general, but whatever on that. However, Portnoy personally doesn't have a God-given right to media credentials. If he didn't consistently act like a jerkoff, he and/or his site would still be able to play with the adults. It's no one's fault but his. I'd argue that the people who are equating Barstool losing its credentials to an attack on the First Amendment are the ones who need to lighten up.
