Kmarko sat down with Dave Portnoy for the first time since his controversy in that led to his demotion within Barstool — what went down on DPS 55?
The ex-editor in chief subsequently lost his position and while he still writes for Barstool, the podcast on 19 October was the first time the president and Kmarko confronted each other. The now-deleted piece was filled with political content, a controversial topic rarely found on Barstool. Because of that, Minihane took to his podcast and called for the firing of Marko, the editor, for allowing a non-employee to publish on a site with 54 million monthly unique visitors.
As the blog garnered attention, fans — known as Stoolies — supported Minihane and firekmarko became trending. Kmarkobarstool posted a kirkmin hit piece, written by an insane troll, without reading it. Turns out the pair have barely spoken in the last year since the controversy, and Portnoy never officially notified him about the demotion from editor.
Kmarko admitted that it was his mistake, crediting his responsibility to look over hundreds of blogs each day as the reason.
Many Twitter comments have resumed with firekmarko since the ex-editor was never fired. Lol Kmarko should have been fired. This is the real world. I talked to Kmarko for the first time in a year. Kmarko went to war for barstool back in the day. Maybe another set of eyes could be a decent system of collaboration? Kmarko also had a conflict with Michael "Barstool Carl" Sterk, a blogger who turned to the hosts of Barstool Chicago after Kmarko firmly rejected a pitch about Grubhub, one of the companies sponsoring Barstool Sports.
According to The Daily Beast , the tale of the rejected article idea was dissected live on air. Kmarko made his case in a separate episode of the show, explaining that his strongly-worded emails about the pitch weren't supposed to be taken seriously. Well, We Have Good News.
