Sean Puri reacts to Business Insider's outreach to Barstool Sports sponsors following the publication of allegations against founder Dave Portnoy.
“There was a reporter for Business Insider that started reaching out to Barstool's advertisers and saying, Hey, are you aware of the story we wrote about how bad Dave is and businesses and a Barstool? Like, you know, would you like to comment on being an advertiser on their platform? Basically trying to take money out of their pockets, trying to get the advertisers to cancel their relationship with Barstool, which is not journalism at that point. That is like warfare as far as I'm concerned.”
