Dave Portnoy target of antisemitic comment during Barstool Sports pizza review
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy was on the receiving end of an antisemitic comment as he filmed a pizza review in Toronto. Portnoy, doing a review at Terrazza for his ever-famous 'One Bite' reviews that was posted Monday, was outside the shop with a box containing a pizza pie as someone off camera went by and yelled 'F–k the Jews' toward Portnoy. 'See, there we go, there we go,' Portnoy, who is Jewish, said after the person made the comment. Advertisement A few young fans of the Bartsool Sports head standing behind him then started to laugh, which led Portnoy to reprimand them. 'What are you guys f–king laughing about?' he said as he turned toward the fans, who then became quiet. 'Exactly. So here we go, one bite everybody knows the rules. We won't let that get … what is that Toronto hospitality there? Advertisement 'That's terrible, terrible ' said Bill the Greek, who was with Portnoy for the video in Canada. This incident comes about a month after a server at a Barstool Sports bar in Philadelphia allegedly carried out a sign during a bottle service that read 'f–k the Jews.' Dave Portnoy heard the comment during a pizza review in Toronto. One Bite Pizza Reviews/YouTube Two servers were fired and two Temple University students were suspended after the incident at Barstool Sansom. Advertisement 'We are saddened, embarrassed, and frustrated by the deplorable actions of a customer and misguided staff,' Barstool Samson Street said in a post after the incident. 'Who the f—k would do that sign in my f—king bar? You think I'm just gonna sit here? I'm gonna make it my f—king mission to put you in lights. My f—king mission,' Portnoy said in the immediate aftermath of the sign going viral. 'What I'm saying is, I'm getting the names, I'm trying to be a little responsible, I'm trying to keep it together, but I'm on it,' he said. 'But I'm on it. I'm f—king on it.' Portnoy chided the fans for laughing after the comments. One Bite Pizza Reviews/YouTube Advertisement Portnoy then offered two customers a trip to Auschwitz in Poland to better educate themselves, but he then took away the offer to at least one of the people, as Portnoy said the person denied responsibility for what happened after the Temple student allegedly posted the sign on social media. 'His trip to Poland has been revoked,' Portnoy said in a post on X. 'Whatever ramifications come his way he 100% earned.' 'I'm like trying to make this a teachable moment, throw a lifeline to a kid, and he's like, 'Well, I already got suspended from Temple' because you got a 'f–k the Jews' sign at a bar and posted it on social media,'' Portnoy added.
