Portnoy Buys Back Barstool

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts on this. Dave Portnoy bought back Barstool for $1 after Penn Gaming purchased previously for a total of 551mm.

Stipulations: Unable to launch or advertise any Sports book, Penn Gaming receives 50% of money in the event of any percentage or full sale of Barstool.

Penn Gaming did this deal largely due to a 2bn dollar deal with ESPN (Disney) who did not want association with Barstool. As well as an over 800mm tax losses for Penn.
