From the founder of Barstool Sports and one of the most polarizing voices in media comes Cancel Me If You Can — an unfiltered, no-holds-barred ride through building a media empire while refusing to bend the knee.
Dave Portnoy — known to millions as “El Presidente” — has always bet on himself. From passing out a four-page sports newspaper in Boston in 2004 to building Barstool Sports into a multimillion-dollar digital media powerhouse, he’s done it his way: loud, unapologetic, and without apology.
In Cancel Me If You Can, Dave lays it all out — the hard work, the timing, the luck, the poisonous relationships behind the curtain, the public failures, and the sheer balls it took to get where he is today. This isn’t a traditional memoir or a sanitized business book. It’s another high-stakes bet on himself, told in his signature raw, hilarious, and brutally honest style.
Whether you love him, hate him, or can’t look away, one thing’s for sure: Dave Portnoy has never been one to play it safe. And he’s not about to start now.
Perfect for fans of Dave Portnoy and Barstool Sports, readers who love unfiltered entrepreneurship stories, anyone fascinated by cancel culture and fighting back, and fans of bold, no-BS business and media memoirs.
