Adam C Best Has Issued An Apology For His Sexist, Misogynistic Tweets
In case you missed it- hold on, let me start somewhere else. Fuck every single other outlet besides us for not running this story. Seriously, anything and everything we do over here is thrown under the microscope by every copy cat blog, all the Deadspins and The Big Leads and Awful Announcings of the world to write hit piece after hit piece about, and this got NOTHING.
And you might be thinking “well it’s because nobody gives a fuck about FanSided”, and you’d be absolutely right, but at the same time FanSided isn’t a small operation. Nobody cares about it, sure. But they are owned by Time Inc, they are on the SI home page…and FanSided news has been covered by those other sites in the past. But yesterday? When their founder and former CEO turns out to be this incredible misogynistic asshole, it was fucking crickets from all of them. Not a peep. All those other sites put on this guise of being so above us and so holier than thou, but at the end of the day, just like us, they aren’t looking to be good, well-rounded journalism, all they are doing is using Barstool to drive clicks. But keep pretending to be doing god’s work, you hypocrites. Barstool moves the needle so they obsess over every little thing anyone here does. Every single one of those sites are fraudulent, which once again proves the point that we do everything straight up, and those sites have agendas and all are as fake and not trustworthy as Stool Scenes.
But anyway, Adam C Best finally broke his silence at 12:32am after deleting 17,000 tweets, and apologized for his past tweets. Kind of a self-serving apology, full of cliches and a very good “as a white guy”, but an apology no less. Now let me tell you something about me- I’m a forgiving guy. I’m a 2nd chance guy. I don’t think Adam C Best is a good person. I think it is very clear that he has a scumbag brain and is a giant hypocrite and liar, and not someone to be trusted or around in a bar after midnight. But there’s no point of continuing down this road with him. He was exposed. He came at Barstool, my livelihood, my job, and I went back at him, and for whatever reason, he let me. That’s the wild part- it’s almost as if he wanted this to happen. He never locked his account. Halfway through I asked if he wanted to comment, and he declined. I don’t know what he expected to happen when he came at my life, but I bet he’s regretting getting bent out of shape about a promiscuous pumpkin right about now.
A pumpkin, you guys.
A pumpkin.
This was all about a pumpkin.
I’ll say it once, I’ll say it again, fuck, etch it onto my tombstone- nobody on the internet is perfect. We all have said things we probably want back. But the difference is at Barstool, we’ll own it. We won’t pretend to be anything we’re not. We’re a bunch of people just trying to make the internet laugh. If a joke isn’t for you, so be it, oh well, carry on with your life. But at the end of the day, the Internet was built on smut, it’s foundation is smut, and it’s sustained by smut. Just ask Adam C Best.
