Barstool Sports' Chris Klemmer was in 'SolitaryKlemfinement' on a stream, cut off by Dave Portnoy for being boring. The decision sparked controversy among fans and colleagues, with Klemmer becoming a cult hero. Portnoy defended his action, claiming it as engaging content. The incident led to an 'uprising' and a surge in support for Klemmer, who was described as the 'people's champ.'
