Dave Portnoy<\/strong><\/a> claims he was recently offered a role in Washington D.C. — but had he accepted, he would’ve had to hand over the reins to his Barstool Sports empire.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

El Pres dropped the news on his “Davey Day Trader Global” show on Tuesday … revealing the position would have been in the Department of Commerce under Secretary Howard Lutnick<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Portnoy explained he got a phone call gauging his interest in the opportunity a few months ago … but it was made crystal clear he’d have to give up his role with Barstool in order to make the move.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Pres didn’t reveal whether he was flirting with the idea … but said even if he was, they never followed up — which he called “weird.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The topic came up over his confusion with Elon Musk<\/strong><\/a>‘s involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency … all while the tech billionaire still operates Tesla.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Regardless, it likely would have been hard for Portnoy to take a step back with Barstool — after all, he did turn it from a silly gambling newspaper into a massively popular company.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Portnoy is a big supporter of President Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a>, though … so the offer had to have at least been appealing.<\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n
