In an April 2022 post on TikTok, Dave Portnoy posted a long list of people, companies, and things he loathed. At the very top, and in all caps, Portnoy placed Business Insider's senior features correspondent Julia Black, who first blew the whistle on the sexual impropriety claims against him. Coming in second was the same publication's former CEO, Henry Blodget, whose exit he celebrated more than a year later in a November 2023 tweet. Business Insider's global editor-in-chief Nicholas Carlson, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and former ESPN president John Skipper rounded out Portnoy's top five.

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Kyrie Irving made it to Portnoy's list, but the latter admittedly liked him before he came to play in Boston. "I was actually pro Kyrie when he left Cleveland and came to the Celtics ... but he's just the worst athlete," Portnoy opined on his YouTube channel. "I hated him when he was on the Celtics ... He wouldn't shut up talking about how he's gonna go other places, and then the media would be like, 'Are you leaving?' He'd be like, 'How dare you ask me that?'"

The list of 41 people and institutions also included publications, like N Magazine and The Daily Beast, and surprisingly, the Empire State Building. "How lame is the Empire State Building?" Portnoy tweeted in January 2023 when the building lit up in his football rivals' colors. "What an absolute piece of s*** building. I'd be embarrassed to have it in my city."
