IT FEELS REALLY BAD THAT AN ORGANIZATION THAT HARASSED ME SO AGGRESSIVELY I HAD TO LOCK MY ACCOUNT ~MULTIPLE TIMES~ GETS TO BE ON A RALLY TOWEL,
@NHLBruins THIS IS EXTREMELY NOT A GOOD LOOK
Oh wow do you have documentation of this? Id love to see it.
No, at one point I'd saved a whole string of it but I think the site where I'd saved all the tweets doesn't exist anymore. I have the people all blocked now but you can probably find some of it with twitter's advanced search tools.
Else where:
Sorry I'm not gonna shut up yet, it stings VERY HARD that my hometown hockey team values an organization that panders to the lowest common denominator in our fanbase at the expense of women, minorities, and the LGBT community. I thought you were better than this,
I am a transgender hockey fan, and I outwardly identified as female for most of my sportswriting career. Barstool's writers and fans HATE ME FOR WHO I AM. So by proxy,
@NHLBruins
, I suppose that means you do too.
I'm starting to feel like twitter mainly exists for women who have a great pent-up demand for shameless gossip and cruel shade-throwing, but no IRL friends to do those things with.

Barstool Sports is an opening, festering sore on the body politic that sprung forth as the latest symptom of cancerous misogyny, and the Boston Bruins put their logo on their rally towels for Game Two of the Stanley Cup Final.
I hardly need to spend my time recounting the numerous ways in which Barstool has proven itself to be a horror show over the years. In fact, in grand Barstool tradition, I’ve decided to steal the work of someone else to make my point. Sarah Connors provided the necessary reading here, and I strongly encourage you to avail yourself of education if you have the free time.
What strikes me most, though, is how absolutely unnecessary this decision was. Barstool is a brand that’s popular in Boston; the company was founded there. It’s un-lanced boil of a public head is a loud Boston sports fan and is, of course, happy to throw the company’s money around any time there’s a chance somebody will slap the logo on something. And so the Bruins have taken rally towels, intended to be waved as a symbol of unity and encouragement, and decided that they’re best marked with a talisman of harassment and incitement.
The “no ethical consumption” crowd is likely to point out that the Blues have corporate partnerships with, among others, Anheuser-Busch and Monsanto, two companies which have wrought more than their fair share of destructions. As I sit to write this, next to me is a rally towel from this year’s playoffs baring logos from Enterprise, BMO Harris, and Purina, but also Centene - a for-profit health care middle manager.
In the hour or so since this story broke on Twitter and I published my first reaction to it, I’ve had a small handful of people popping up in my mentions to tell me Barstool “isn’t that bad,” that they’re “not really fans of Barstool but...,” and that I don’t have any particular moral standing to criticize anyone. I can’t speak with certainty to the last one but the first two are so egregiously self-defeating that it pains me to have to point it out.
"I know our sponsors are shitty multinational corporations, but their sponsors include an indie sports website that said no no words! You know who the real oppressors are!"
Greenwell pushes back at that critique, even as she occasionally embodies it. When explaining that she lives in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood, she added, “but the part where a lot of Puerto Rican families live.”
She added: “Trump ruined everything. Barstool ruined everything.”
yes. The Deadspin people thought going woke would work with the BW3-going 25-50 year old male demographic, the most progressive and social justice enthused demo in the entire country . Then they got mad when Barstool stole their market share.
How do the fine people of woke twitter wake up in the morning and look in the mirror? To humiliate themselves day in and day out like that, to give the dumbest of opinions under the guise of it being Important™...
I can't stand any other team from Boston but the Bruins have always been my hockey team. They hate and sperging that they seem to produce is pretty awesome tho.
I love how people refer to Barstool as ‘Jewish run’ as if a) every other company isn’t, and b) Jews have some persecuted minority status in society that exempts them from consideration in cases of discrimination.
This guy Cornelius is a moron, but pointing out Daves Jewishness isn’t like a free pass.

The Bruins are awful but St Louis getting to the finals only to be cucked out of a trophy again would be excellent drama.
Also they did my Sharks dirty so the Blues can get fucked.
