Dave Portnoy joined fans and media members in reacting negatively towards a reporter whose comments led to an awkward interaction with Caitlin Clark in her introductory press conference in Indianapolis. 

After getting selected by the Indiana Fever with the first overall pick in the WNBA Draft, the former Iowa star faced the Indianapolis media on Wednesday. During the presser, Gregg Doyel of Indy Star Sports imitated Clark's heart-hands gesture as the situation quickly became cringe-worthy. 

Following the incident, the Barstool Sports chief took to X and urged the publication to take action. 

'Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever Career Begins With Gregg Doyel Being A sexiest pervert at Introductory Press Conference,' Portnoy wrote with a link to Barstool's story about the exchange. '@IndyStarSports do something about this pervert.'

'To clarify I meant to call Gregg Doyle a sexist pervert. Which he is based on his nauseating actions today,' Portnoy wrote in a repost of his tweet.
