Barstool’s fearless leader, Dave Portnoy, took to the internet to share the news and rally the troops to support this noble cause. “We’ve put those awesome Barstool T-shirts up for sale, and the response has been overwhelming,” Portnoy proudly proclaimed. “Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, we’ve managed to raise a jaw-dropping $230,000 to $240,000 directly for Officer Diller’s family. And get this, folks, I’m not stopping there – I’m going to match every penny we make until midnight tonight! That’s right, we’re going above and beyond to show our support for this courageous family.”
It’s moments like these, ladies and gentlemen, that truly showcase the power of a united community coming together for a noble cause. Portnoy expressed, “Now, we all know that money can’t heal the unimaginable pain the Diller family is going through, but at Barstool, we firmly believe in doing everything we can to help ease their burden during this dark time. It’s the least we can do for a man who laid down his life in the line of duty.”
Portnoy, a staunch supporter of law enforcement, didn’t hold back in expressing his outrage over this senseless tragedy. “We’ve got a long history of backing our police officers and first responders here at Barstool, and it’s just infuriating to see a dedicated officer like Diller lose his life during what should have been a routine stop,” he passionately stated. “These scumbags who senselessly took his life should be rotting in prison, not out on the streets committing heinous acts. It’s despicable, folks, and we won’t stand for it.”
In true Barstool fashion, Portnoy made it clear that their unwavering support for the Diller family won’t waver. “We’re in this for the long haul, folks. Whatever support we can provide, we’ll be there every step of the way,” he affirmed. “At Barstool, we stand with our brave men and women in law enforcement, and we won’t let them stand alone in their time of need.” Now that’s the kind of unwavering support our men and women in blue deserve, folks!
