Tap title to read story
Barstool Sports, founded by Dave Portnoy in two thousand and three, has been a staple of Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff since last season.
Sources report that the network has decided to remove the brand from the upcoming broadcast, citing a shift toward a more traditional sports commentary format. Portnoy, known for his outspoken commentary and viral segments, has faced criticism for his controversial remarks, leading to a ban from Ohio State stadium and a temporary suspension by the NFL.
The decision follows a series of high‑profile incidents, including a brawl involving a Barstool employee and an Uber Eats driver. Fox’s move is expected to impact the network’s viewership numbers and alter the dynamic of its mid‑day sports programming.
