In 2021, nothing overly surprises me anymore. But this shit is crazy.
Last night, Barstool Sports CEO, and a huge supporter of women in hockey, Dave Portnoy, shared a video showing the hate Erika Nardini has been met with for supporting women. Unfortunately, as one of the first people covering the Pride, my love of fun’s too problematic for NWHL Twitter.

As one of the founders of “Pride Diehards” (a fan page for the Boston Pride), the behavior of those in the “media” towards Nardini is absolute trash. This woman is legit backing a league where the women have literally had to miss the return-to-play tournament. This is because they don’t bring in enough money and all have to work a regular job. Someone like Erika Nardini could come into the NWHL and change the entire course of the league.
Erika Nardini Hate
Toxic writers like Rachel Doerrie, Hemal Jhaveri, and Marissa Ingemi have hurt the women’s game way than Erika Nardini ever could. These women and their Twitter mutants have established a pretty big community of internet bullies. These people are ruining the entire landscape of women’s hockey. If you dare even question them, they will send a pack of, quite possibly, the ugliest humans on planet earth to blow up your mentions/doxx you.
Those in the NWHL pandering to those bullying people in the name of women’s sports should wake up and smell the coffee. Money talks and bullshit takes the bus. This woke fad will come and go, but its lasting effect can be detrimental to the growth of women’s hockey. Women’s professional sports as a whole are better with Erika Nardini behind them not worse. Also before any of you brain-dead idiots try to send me “BaRsToOl iS RaCiSt” you’re all literally spun. Sometimes comedy misses the mark. Look at how much money they have raised and how many eyeballs Erika Nardini has put on women’s hockey. A lot more than the three woke bullies mentioned above. If the NWHL wants to survive they should grow a backbone and stand behind the Barstool CEO.
If Erika remotely respected women’s hockey, she wouldn’t harass the social media manager for multiple NWHL teams. Also, she’d show way more respect for people who have put their heart and soul into the league for YEARS. Even NWHL players are taking a stand against Erika. Keep on defending her though, you Barstool wannabe. Can’t say I’m surprised that once again, Chris Mancuso is acting problematically towards women. Becoming quite a trend.
You coward, why aren’t you posting my comment?
LOL Maybe because some of us have a life Frank, you coward
Marisa Ingemi is the absolute worst. I fully support the NWHL but apparently Marisa feels you are only worthy of interaction and supporting the league if you are a certain type of male. She also tweeted that she and her merry band of woke reporters are “endangering themselves” by covering women’s hockey. Someone go get the medal of fucking valor for them! She is also looking for recognition from “non-cis men” whatever the fuck that means. So if you want to support women’s hockey or want them to even recognize you as a fan you have to be a specific type of male or you are an outcast. I get wanting to keep the mysoginistic bull shit away but this overly woke progressively insanity will be the death of the NWHL.
If people like her are who the NWHL want repping their league and not Nardini then they deserve to go under.
I completely agree with you. She lost me when she said she is basically risking her life reporting on women’s hockey. Like I said I’m all for keeping the mysoginistic assholes away from the sport but if they continue to flood it with left wing politics it going to turn people off from watching. People watch hockey to watch hockey. Not have to hear Marisa Ingemi talk about her left wing agenda every day.
I wouldn’t even know there was a women’s hockey league let alone a bubble if Nardini wasn’t promoting it. Those people must be brain dead to think Erika and the stoolies aren’t a net positive. They will drive people away then cry foul again when they go belly up like every other failed startup league.
The league will fold now.
im so sorry but this whole article just screams to me how small your dick is if you need to be kissing #girlboss Nardini’s ass like this. The shit she spews is misogyny biased bullshit and her entire list of barstool content and its followers (yourself included) are ignorant. The NWHL as done more on a whole of growing the game and being inclusive than the NHL has in its whole span of existence. You’re just sad because she didnt pick you and youre the definition of a pick me boy.
Check the receipts bitch I covered this league in 2019 and seeing these assholes selfishly ruin the league is annoying
