TSN reporter Gord Miller took some shots at Barstool, more specifically, the Barstool Brand, which he is clearly not a fan of. He took to Twitter to express his concerns about the messages Barstool sends with their brand. It all started with one tweet.
I like those guys a lot, but anything to do with Barstool is a no-go for me. https://t.co/W5l3IjmgIC

Then he further explained:
My problem with Barstool is the history of unapologetic misogyny, racism, xenophobia and the repeated condoning of non-consensual sex. If not wanting to associate with that makes me part of ācancel cultureā, or constitutes āvirtue signallingā or being āwokeā, Iām OK with that.

āCancel Cultureā: holding individuals and groups responsible for what they say and do.
āEveryone is in favour of free speech…but some peopleās idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage.ā
-Winston Churchill

āWokeā: Recognizing that there has beenāand still isāinequality and injustice around us, and making a commitment to point it out and affect real change.
— Gord Miller š» (@GMillerTSN) March 17, 2021
And so no, I wonāt āstick to sportsā or āstay in my lane.ā Sports is part of my life but not all of it, and the road Iām on has many, many lanes.

Barstool’s El Presidente responded to Gord’s comments:
I know people say I should ignore guys like @GMillerTSN But Iāll never be able to do that. Barstool is 20 years of my lifeās work. Iām proud of it. Iām proud of our fans. He attacked everything Iām about. If you donāt fight back against that what do you fight back against?

If @stoolpresidente wants to point out where I lied about incidents of misogyny, racism, xenophobia and condoning non-consensual sex at Barstool, Iāll be happy to retract what I said. However, I did do my research, and there is plenty of evidence to back me up in each case. https://t.co/EGhR3x5zmI

Barstool started attacking Miller and his daughterās account online with slurs, insults, harassment, attacks, and āshe asked for it.ā
She also weighed in:
