Don’t be so misogynistic. Jesus Christ man that ***** is completely uncalled for in this day and time 


tokenism exists. And it’s by no fault of Nardini’s, but Portnoy is the face of that company, always has been. So if the actual CEO takes a backseat to his antics, what would you call it. 
 

And Barstool has hired female staffers in recent years. Hasn’t always been like that though, so I’m hesitant to give Portnoy credit for “diversifying.”

Dear Mrs. Pegula,

 

Please forego soliciting bids for naming rights to the football stadium.  Make a popular decision and decree that the name shall be hence forth and evermore Ralph Wilson Memorial Stadium, aka "The Ralph."

 

Thank you for your attention to my recommendation.

 

Respectfully,

 

Keukasmallie

Hate to break it to you but no one is going to say “no thanks” to $4m to $5M a year for that.

Winning will give them a ton of press too...

 

It is not a pie, one doesn't cancel the other out. If anything they are stackable. Win the super bowl, also be covered on social media by a major SM company.

If an apparel complain with exclusive pro sports licensing rights selling hats (1 billion a year revenues) for years all over the world could not find 5 mil a year to pay they naming rights tab, hows some internet sports column blog going to swing it?

This is not right. Portnoy is in charge of the entertainment side, and Nardini is in charge of the business side. His antics ARE the entertainment. Her job was never to curb his antics, but to make his antics more profitable, which she absolutely has.  Beyond that, and where she has really excelled, is she was charged with growing the brand. Barstool has seen its brand absolutely explode under her guidance. She legitimized the brand and expanded it to grab female audiences. She has succeeded by a measure that was beyond anyone's wildest expectations. Reducing her to the "Token CEO" is as offensive as it is ignorant. 

 

Portnoy is an idiot.  That said, Barstool is not Portnoy, or at least it isn't anymore. If you think otherwise, you just aren't paying attention. Their two most successful offerings--Parton My Take and Call Her Daddy--Portnoy doesn't have any involvement with. The same is true for most of their other podcasts/shows/etc.

You’re continuing to spread an idea that she is a token ceo and just sits at a desk. I’m honestly speechless.

Can't we all just agree to call it Ralph Wilson Stadium and give a big middle finger to the whole stadium naming process?

 

I can remember a time when not all stadiums whored their name out to the highest bidder every few years.

Then your outrage is clouding your cognition and trying to explain it any clearer isn’t going to help you any. Carry on.

Is Portnoy still not the most visible face of the company, as its founder? Whenever Barstool makes the wider news, is it not Portnoy who’s quoted in those stories?

 

”tokenism” as i used it doesn’t mean I think Nardini is incompetent or unqualified. Not at all. I do think there were strategic motives beyond just her business acumen that Portnoy definitely considered.
