Dave Portnoy Just Went Totally Berserk on a 6ABC Reporter

  • Dave Portnoy, founder and CEO of Barstool Sports, abruptly cut short an interview on May 5, 2025, with ABC’s Philadelphia affiliate after being questioned about an antisemitic sign that was discovered at one of his company’s Philadelphia bars on May 3, 2025.
  • The incident occurred after a sign reading "F*** the Jews" appeared in the bar's restroom, prompting Portnoy to investigate, fire employees involved, and cooperate with police and the ADL.
  • Portnoy initially agreed to the interview but claimed ABC Philadelphia bait-and-switched reporters, with the second reporter blaming Barstool and Portnoy for the incident, which led him to cut the interview short.
  • On May 5, 2025, Portnoy shared a video on X expressing his strong disdain for journalists and challenged the reporter by questioning who was responsible for fostering more hatred in the world.
  • The incident resulted in firings, a public apology from Barstool Sansom Street, and ongoing investigations, while Portnoy pledged to address the situation seriously and prevent similar actions.
