Portnoy Fires Staff Over Antisemitism at Bar

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy condemned an antisemitic incident at Barstool Sansom Street in Philadelphia after a video went viral showing waitresses displaying a 'f--- the Jews' sign during bottle service. Portnoy fired the two waitresses involved and arranged for the patrons implicated to visit Auschwitz for Holocaust education, with support from Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Both Temple University and Philadelphia police have launched investigations, and a Temple student involved has been placed on interim suspension. The incident sparked widespread condemnation and drew praise for Portnoy's response from public figures including Ben Stiller, Sen. Dave McCormick, and X CEO Linda Yaccarino. Rabbi David Kushner and local community members voiced distress over the incident's impact. Portnoy has emphasized his commitment to accountability and confronting antisemitism.
