Barstool is a land of contrasts. While Stoolies may think of the site as a place to enjoy “politically incorrect” takes on sports and culture, Media Matters dubbed the network “a cesspool of misogyny and bigotry,” and countless other writers have shared issues with the site ranging from accusations of racism to harassment of other journalists.
As a result, when you work at Barstool, you make a lot of enemies. Now, the people of Barstool have yet another enemy to worry about: Swifties.
If Taylor Swift is going to be taking over our Sunday’s I’m going to need to see a sex tape. These are my demands @PardonMyTake pic.twitter.com/wl8On9yx5w

In a clip that’s making the rounds on Twitter, Dan “Big Cat” Katz says that he isn’t certain whether Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are actually dating. In fact, Katz says that he won’t be comfortable with the idea until the pair release a sex tape — “P in V,” as he puts it, though he later adds that he would accept P in A, P in M and P in H.
Ignoring the fact that this is just kind of weird thing to say, it also seems like it was designed in a lab to piss off Taylor Swift fans. And piss off Taylor Swift fans it did!
Us Swifties are about to end @BarstoolBigCat. Sorry, but say stupid things, win stupid prizes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Others were simply content to watch the brawl.
Ok I take back what I said about being sick of hearing about Taylor swift. Swifties vs barstool is an incredible fight that will ultimately determine the future of Caucasian heterosexuality https://t.co/DBbOhuZaIS

The swifties burning barstool to the ground is going to be one of the mileposts we look back at at the point things really started to turn around. https://t.co/rVFgVDB6HD

Big Cat, of course, eventually responded to the controversy as well.
Step 1 is complete - make the Swifties stoop to my level of stupidity in a war between Taylor and the NFL

I forget what step 2 was going to be. This might be a problem
As of this writing, Barstool remains up and running, and Big Cat shows no signs of slowing down. Still, even some Stoolies are a bit nervous about this feud. “This is the one group of unhinged psychopaths I wouldn’t fuck with if I worked for years to keep my family’s identities secret,” wrote one Reddit user. “It’s all fun and games til your wife loses her job because a crazy girl finds her job and sends a video of you pissing your pants,” added another.
Until this battle comes to a resolution, however, I have three words: Let them fight.
