Dave Portnoy threatens to pull Barstool from NYC over ‘Communist’ Zohran Mamdani’s win

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy is threatening to close the company’s Manhattan office because of Zohran Mamdani’s election, saying he hates the inexperienced, “Communist” pol and warning that the mayor-elect will wreck the business climate.

Portnoy made the comments during a YouTube livestream last week, amid expectations Mamdani would defeat former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Nov. 4 election.

“I hate the guy,” Portnoy said of Mamdani. “I can’t stand the thought of him running New York City. I can’t stand it.
“Thirty-something-year-old Communist running New York City who’s never had a job in his life, hates America — doesn’t seem like the best.”
Portnoy, 48, weighed the pros and cons of getting out of Manhattan during Mamdani’s reign.

“Honestly, I’ve given that a lot of thought — he’s definitely going to win — going to Hoboken or Jersey City or something,” Portnoy said.

“I don’t want to f–king have an office [in Manhattan]. But then we have all those people who, like, that f–ks up their life because I hate the guy. Like, all the people in the New York office have to go to Jersey City or … Hoboken. So it’s a Catch-22.”Still, Portnoy indicated he’s seriously weighing an exit.

“A part of me is like, how much will actually change? But I really have given it thought,” he said. “I told our finance guys to start looking around for property, no joke. Take a principled stand.”
