ESPN cancels Barstool Van Talk after a single episode over misogynistic blog
As reported by The Daily Beast, ESPN has decided to cancel new series Barstool Van Talk after only one episode. Though the network didn’t specifically say so, the decision most likely came in response to a few Twitter posts from ESPN host Sam Ponder, who pointed out the misogynistic nature of some of the content on the Barstool Sports website that the show was based off of. Specifically, Ponder took issue with the fact that the site had referred to her as “a chick that has a job where the #1 requirement is you make men hard” and then kept going after her when she criticized the writers for it.
