Dave Portnoy
Dave Portnoy is the founder of Barstool Sports, known universally as 'El Presidente.' He built Barstool from a free newspaper distributed in Boston into one of the most influential sports and culture media companies in America. While not a central Dabbleverse figure, Portnoy is an important node in the ecosystem through his connections to Blind Mike and Kirk Minihane, both of whom worked under him at Barstool. His larger-than-life personality, confrontational style, and willingness to fight anyone online have made him one of the most polarizing figures in media.
