A lot of the Twitterverse has said that Dave Portnoy is a racist because of his tweet calling LSU basketball player Angel Reese a piece of shit and classless.

I mean there is no doubt that he did call her that. Does that mean he is racist though? People are claiming that he celebrated Caitlyn Clark for doing the same thing, but was it the same thing? In my opinion, one was during the middle of the game when shit talking is always prevalent. What Reese did was when the game was all but over and even after the whistle. You can be the judge for yourself if that was the same thing or not.

If you think that both of those “you can’t see me” gestures are the same, does that make Dave Portnoy racist; or does it make him a gambler that was pissed off he lost a bet? Is it actually sexist of people calling him a racist because he bashed a black female basketball player? Look at the track record of El Pres. He bashes everyone regardless of skin color, sex, religion, if he has a bet on the other side. Nobody bats an eye when he makes comments about a man, regardless of race. But this comment becomes an issue because she was a woman?

Women want equal rights when it comes to sports and how they are covered. Should fans not treat them the same way they treat the guys? I am not saying calling even a man a piece of shit is right, but let’s not be naive it happens thousands of times a game; whether it is just a rival player or if someone has money on the other side. I think Dave is just an equal opportunity hater on whoever he is against in gambling or his favorite teams, ask Goodell.

Take a second. If you actually listen to his explanation and not jump to conclusions, form your own opinion without the race baiting. I personally think that the headline Dave Portnoy is Racist is lazy, but it will get a lot more clicks than Degenerate Gambler Bashes LSU Player.
