Boise State {and Central MI} football shouldn't be associated with the ugliness of Barstool Sports
The Boise State football team is in a tough spot, being slotted to go to the Arizona Bowl, which has been held at the University of Arizona since 2015, to face off against Central Michigan University.
Any other year, there wouldn’t be much to say about that, aside from, “Go Broncos.”
But this year, the Arizona Bowl is the most controversial postseason game in the nation — not because of the teams or the stadium, but because of its sponsor: Barstool Sports.
The sports and “entertainment” website is, quite simply, a cesspit. It’s hard to think of something terrible that you can’t find associated with it. To list only a few:
• Last year, it launched a podcast whose initials spell out the n-word.
• Early on, it featured a nude photo of a one-and-a-half-year-old child, with commentary on the size of his genitalia.
• Hosts have made sexual comments about minor girls.
• Its founder, Dave Portnoy, faced controversy as recently as November for allegedly subjecting women to violent and humiliating sex acts, using racial slurs and violating labor laws, among other things.
