Arrr! The scurvy dog Dave Portnoy, owner of Barstool Sports, hath taken it upon himself to commence a mighty battle of words on the social media seas with the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball, the Savannah Bananas, on this fine Monday. Yo ho ho!
Dave Portnoy, the owner of Barstool Sports, has made his first change since returning to the company, and that is to remove all Savannah Bananas content from their social media pages. Portnoy expressed his dislike for the independent baseball team, known for their unique "Banana Ball" rules, which includes giving fans an out if they catch a foul ball and no walks allowed. Portnoy started a social media war with the Bananas, tweeting his frustration with them. The Bananas, known for their social media presence and TikTok dances during games, responded by stating that Barstool Sports frequently asked to reshape their videos. They also mentioned that Marty Mush, a Barstool Sports personality, recently hit batting practice with them in Staten Island. Portnoy retaliated, calling the Bananas' content "lame" and stating that he told his social team not to post their videos anymore. However, the Bananas responded by posting a video of Portnoy saying, "Go Bananas." Portnoy wrote a blog post on Barstool Sports, criticizing the Bananas' "kids show" style of baseball and their repetitive viral clips. Despite the feud, the Bananas seem to be answering Portnoy's call for war.
