| Barstoolsports.com Owner David Portnoy |
One of my favorite blogs, barstoolsports.com(Motto: "By The Common Man for the Common Man") owner is just an average guy from Massachusetts who created a blog a few years ago mainly focused around funny but weird issues in American society, New England professional sports teams, and girls.
As his blog has grown so has his followers. This enabled blogger Dave Portnoy to eventually create a shop for his blog with funny t-shirts of relevant sports teams that many people will actually buy and wear to events. Barstool sports has also events and theme'd parties at bars in Boston or New York City.
Through the years,Portnoy has created an empire of blogs dedicated to his ideals. Since they started originally in Boston, it has ventured to the likes of New York and now there is a barstool blog for women called stool-la-la.
It is interesting to see the background of a normal man like Portnoy with a similar education as ours take a blog so far to create a vast revenue stream and to be recognized anywhere he goes.
Maybe the next great blogger will come from our New Media class....who knows.
