Just kidding -- pretty well everyone who has anything to do with sports knows who Dave Portnoy is -- he's the founder and owner of Barstool Sports, and an outspoken sports fan.
Thing is, I thought he was a MAGA guy. He came out for Donald Trump in 2015. Here's a quote from his Wikipedia page:
In a 2015 blog post, Portnoy said: "I am voting for Donald Trump. I don't care if he's a joke. I don't care if he's racist. I don't care if he's sexist. I don't care about any of it. I hope he stays in the race and I hope he wins. Why? Because I love the fact that he is making other politicians squirm. I love the fact he says shit nobody else will say, regardless of how ridiculous it is."
In addition, over the years he's been known to say some -- ahem -- "insensitive" things.
But there's a lot more to the guy than just that, as I've learned since seeing this video. In it, he puts up the best defense of Caitlin Clark over the Time Magazine Athlete of the Year controversy that I've seen, or that I expect to see. It's brilliant. (It's the second clip, titled "Caitlin Clark Rant incoming."
