See, Barstool is cool and edgy and everything ESPN wants to be. ESPN wants to be all that, wants people to watch it so bad that the network ignored all the offensive things Barstool has said and done in the past, some of which were directed at ESPN's own employees. ESPN is a big, powerful company, yet somehow it ignored all of its Disney protocols and smart business decision making to rush off to a Las Vegas marriage chapel with Barstool, a company that was built on jokes about sex, race, religion, all masquerading as a comedy site.
