Last week, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy announced a new relief fund aimed at American entrepreneurs, the kind of people who power the country. The Barstool Fund will give $500,000 to businesses to help them pay rent or taxes, assuming they’ve continually paid workers during the lockdown.

While the initial fund will consist of $500,000, Portnoy said he would raise more money if necessary to honor the commitment. Once the allotment has been used, Barstool will promote crowdfunding campaigns for other small businesses in need.
