Barstool Boss Dave Portnoy Tells CBS He's Sickened By Nonstop Antisemitic Barbs: 'It's Every Day Now'
"It's every day now. Like, there's a definitive shift in what's going on for me, being a Jewish person you got to step up, Portnoy sid. You're kind of someone people look up to in the Jewish community. You have to be like, alright, this is not normal. He added these are not just silly jokes among friends. People are coming in with real hate, Portnoy said."
"CBS noted the interview was recorded before Friday, when a heckler shouted f*ck the Jews! and threw coins at Portnoy while he was recording one of his pizza review videos. You can see that incident below: Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) is doing a pizza review when a man approaches and shouts Fuck the Jews! Dave handled it so much better than I would have, but my God I'm getting tired of these freaks. Antisemitism is a disease enough is enough."
"Portnoy has dealt with a few other notable antisemitic comments recently. A Temple University student was suspended in May after he had f*ck the Jews put on a customizable sign at a Barstool bar in Philadelphia. The same slur was used yet again a month later during a pizza review in Toronto, when a man yelled f*ck the Jews at Portnoy."
Dave Portnoy, president of Barstool Sports, reports a sharp increase in antisemitic abuse, describing daily hateful comments that exceed past occasional incidents. Portnoy frames the change as a definitive shift and urges Jewish community figures to take a stand, noting the remarks are not harmless jokes but real hate. The spike included a heckler who shouted "f*ck the Jews" and threw coins during a pizza review, captured on video, and a Temple University student suspended over the same slur on a customizable sign at a Barstool bar. A similar slur occurred during a Toronto pizza review, and public debate continues over rising antisemitism across the political spectrum.
