Dave Portnoy states that he received an offer of shock to work for the United States government after Donald Trump's re -election as president.
The founder of Barstool Sports opened the surprising phone call he had with a member of the Trump administration 'A couple of months ago' in a video shared in his x account X on Tuesday morning.
However, Portnoy revealed that the work would have forced him to resign from the control of Barstool, the digital media company that he launched in 2003.
'I received a call, don't I know, a couple of months ago? I don't know when I received the call, “he explained after stating that” nobody paid attention “when he mentioned the offer during a recent appearance in Fox News.
“It was like,” Hey, would you have any interest, Dave, to join the Secretary of Commerce of the Department of Commerce (such as) Low (Howard) Lutnick, or to the guy who works with him?
'But a warning of joining the government is that someone would have to execute the stool. You cannot execute the stool and work for the government. I guess Elon (musk) does not have a specific title, but you want your CEO with the eye on the ball, right?
