Barstool Sports is reducing its workforce. Following a financially catastrophic connection with Penn Entertainment, the media institution that overlaps sports and bro culture was returned to creator Dave Portnoy last month. Penn owns and operates 43 casinos across 20 states. In addition, the regionally oriented commercial gaming behemoth operates online sports betting operations in 17 markets and iGaming in five states. Portnoy's Barstool Sports will no longer provide sports betting or gaming services. Employees who worked in that business division, according to Portnoy, will regretfully lead the layoffs.
