@kavgeoff @friendofjerry @Jerrythekid21 @TracyMorgan @BarstoolBigCat Not quite the point, but keep trying!

[BFT @bonafidetweeter]

@JTfromPA @RBPundit @Everytown Just not worth it to engage with someone so clearly unwilling to dispose of prior biases and think critically

@sportsandcraft @friendofjerry @Jerrythekid21 @TracyMorgan And to be clear, I have no issue with that! If they wanna sell gambling content/services, best of luck! But it’s disingenuous to then produce a podcast that purports to cover the scourge of addiction while remaining conspicuously silent about its own role in furthering addiction.

[BFT @bonafidetweeter]

@sportsandcraft @friendofjerry @Jerrythekid21 @TracyMorgan I’m sorry, but it’s not. Barstool might sell ads for companies that sell alcohol, tobacco etc. but that is fundamentally different than directly selling content, products and services. That you don’t understand the distinction doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

[BFT @bonafidetweeter]

@sportsandcraft @friendofjerry @Jerrythekid21 @TracyMorgan What, Pink Whitney? Licensing your IP to a liquor product doesn’t mean you’re directly selling that product. You can’t even buy it on the Barstool Store, as I imagine they don’t have the required regulatory permits.

[BFT @bonafidetweeter]

@sportsandcraft @friendofjerry @Jerrythekid21 @TracyMorgan Barstool doesn’t sell any of those products. It sells ad space for those products. In contrast, Barstool directly produces organic gambling-related content to promote its own gambling service. It is, after all, a subsidiary of a casino company.

@friendofjerry @Jerrythekid21 @TracyMorgan @BarstoolBigCat could be an important voice on this too. I hope he’ll consider just how many people struggle (and many others who have destroyed their lives) due to gambling addiction. Adding a 1-800-GAMBLER disclaimer to your Twitter bio out of obligation is the bare minimum.

@friendofjerry @Jerrythekid21 @TracyMorgan I’ve enjoyed Jerry’s ascent and have been a Stoolie for a while. But addiction is addiction is addiction. Alcohol, drugs, gambling. They all work the same way in the brain from a chemical perspective. About time you guys acknowledge your role in the gambling ecosystem.

@JTfromPA @RBPundit @Everytown Not once have I commented on “how it looks”. Why engage in a back and forth if you’re going to be so intellectually lazy? Just a waste of time

[BFT @bonafidetweeter]

@JTfromPA @RBPundit @Everytown Yeah the reality is it’s a gun specifically designed to kill people as efficiently and effectively as possible. Call it whatever you want

@JNS_Ministries @samswey @AOC Stop trying to force other people to believe the same fairy tales as you

[BFT @bonafidetweeter]

@jessebarrera116 @RichEisenShow @richeisen All of those societal variables exist in every other wealthy country in the world. Know what doesn’t? Hundreds of millions of guns. This really isn’t fucking rocket science. It’s been 20+ years of these same bullshit talking points. How do you not get it by now?!?

[BFT @bonafidetweeter]

@ReidG1010 @Jakebraseth @ksmith24 @KFCBarstool Even if a small percentage turned them in, that reduces the number in circulation. Then, as time passes, more and more will be turned in as people age, lose interest or lose a perceived need for AR-15s etc., especially if the govt offers a hefty mark-up.

[BFT @bonafidetweeter]

@Jakebraseth @ksmith24 @KFCBarstool Can you share the link? Have always thought this is the most realistic path toward meaningfully reducing gun volume. Offer an irresistibly high premium on AR-15s and similar guns

@GerryAtricMan @sjuhawksthwnd @katebarstool @KFCBarstool Some galactic brain logic here using “suicide bombers in the Middle East” as a basis for comparison

@JTfromPA @RBPundit @Everytown I dunno man a country where schoolchildren are slaughtered by weapons of war sounds pretty shitty

[BFT @bonafidetweeter]

@JTfromPA @RBPundit @Everytown If only we weren’t the only country in the world and had other examples to follow
