Barstool founder Dave Portnoy says Trump administration offered him a job

Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, revealed he was offered a job at the Department of Commerce by President Donald Trump, according to Bloomberg News.
Portnoy stated he turned down the job offer because it required him to stop running Barstool Sports, and he noted that the government never followed up after the offer.
Barstool Sports has faced multiple scandals and in 2023, its ownership changed back to Portnoy for $1 after Penn Entertainment incurred an $850 million loss.
Portnoy has been a vocal supporter of Trump, endorsing him for the 2024 election while occasionally opposing certain Republican stances.
