Journalist Jemele Hill Puts Barstool Sports Found Dave Portnoy In His Place After He Called Angel Reese A ‘Classless Piece Of S**t’

Sports journalist Jemele Hill slammed Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy after he joined the off-key Twitter troll choir in harassing LSU women’s basketball player Angel Reese.

Portnoy thought he was doing something when he called Reese a “classless piece of s**t” in a quote tweet. 

The tweet didn’t sit right with Hill, leading her to quote tweet him, writing, “So I’m going to pick this fight. F**k you.”

Hill wasn’t the only one pissed off about Portnoy’s tweet. Legendary NBA player Shaquille O’Neal took to the Barstool Sports founder’s comments section, saying, “and so is your mother.”

Burn!

Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay weighed in, writing, “Naw, that’s you.”

Portnoy is the same racist man who founded a misogynistic and bigoted blog catered to white men. He has proudly used the N-word numerous times and was accused by women of sexual assault and being “really aggressive.”

He also wrote on Barstool Sports’ site, “I never condone rape, but if you’re a size six and you’re wearing skinny jeans, you kind of deserve to be raped.”

He stood by his words, claiming it was a “funny joke.”

Yet, he dares to call Reese “classless” when he has a record for doing and saying

the most classless things.

According to News Onyx, the social media attack on Reese started after videos captured the LSU women’s basketball forward making the “you can’t see” John Cena gesture at Iowa Hawkeyes’ Caitlin Clark during the end of the Sunday’s March Madness Tournament game.

Commenters called Reese “classless” and “ghetto” for her actions yet seemed to overlook that Clark did the same thing days before Reese did. March 26, at the Hawkeyes vs. Louisville Cardinals game, Clark made the same Cena gesture, but her fans applauded her and called it “swag.”

Sports commentators like Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe both called the situation for what it was, a double standard. 

“Here’s the reality of the situation, [Clark] instigated this kind of stuff,” Smith said. “Let’s call it what it is. She was waving, she was doing the Cena…she didn’t mind being disrespectful, so why is it that we’re hesitant to bring that up?”

Despite the hate, Reese stands by her actions and is unapologetic about it.

“…when other people do it, y’all don’t say nothing. So this is for the girls that look like me… that’s going to speak up on what they believe in. It’s unapologetically you and that’s what I did it for tonight,” she said at a press conference.
