Barstool sport owner said he had been shaking ever since he saw antisemtic poster at his nightclub that read ‘f**k the jews’. “You think I’m going to put up with this s**t at my bar? I’ve been hunting down waitresses, the table who did it, and everything you can name because I want consequences for f***ing actions,” he said. “I’m going to make it my life’s mission to ruin these people,” said Portnoy.
Portnoy, who has been an advocate against antisemitism since October 7, said that he would find out who was responsible for the sign and force them to “do antisemitism classes” or “whatever it takes to make this right.”
“I’ve had more hate, more antisemitism in the last year and a half than I’ve ever had before.”
“My initial reaction was like, I’m going to burn these people to the ground, their families, everything. And it’s like, You know what? Maybe that’s not the best course of action. Maybe I can use this as a teaching moment and like before, people just are like, F**k the Jews or any group, let’s try to, like, turn a hideous incident into maybe a learning experience.”
“We’re going to send these kids to Auschwitz, and they’re going to do a tour of the concentration camps and hopefully learn something and maybe their lives aren’t ruined and they think twice.”
Dave Portnoy is the founder and owner of Barstool Sports. The staff members who allowed a sign saying ‘f**k the Jews’ to be displayed had already been fired, he said adding hat he was “shaking” with rage over the incident.
“I’m going to make it my life’s mission to ruin these people,” said Portnoy. The Barstool Sports founder also said that he had spoken to the staff members responsible for the sign, calling them “one of the dumbest f***ing humans I’ve ever talked to.”
