Dave Portnoy, the outspoken founder of Barstool Sports, has ignited a fiery debate with his latest take on the WNBA rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. In a recent statement, Portnoy dismissed the much-publicised feud as "one-sided" and questioned whether it was genuine or merely a marketing ploy.
Portnoy didn't hold back, suggesting that while Clark's talent is undeniable, Reese's involvement in the rivalry feels forced. "It's like watching a tennis match where only one player is actually swinging," he quipped, drawing mixed reactions from fans and analysts alike.
