Dave Portnoy has gone after a ‘scumbag’ ABC Philadelphia reporter after they ‘ambushed’ him regarding the anti-Semitic incident at a Barstool Sports-branded bar in Philadelphia.
Video posted to a now-deleted Instagram account over the weekend showed a bottle service worker at Barstool Sansom Street – which is owned by the sports media company – holding up a lit up sign that said ‘F*** the Jews.’
An infuriated Portnoy then detailed the incident on his X account on Sunday, and revealed that he had fired two waitresses from the establishment, and had also identified the two people responsible for ordering the sign.
The events have unsurprisingly led to significant media attention, and Portnoy spoke with a reporter from ABC Philadelphia on Monday after they ‘begged’ him to do an interview.
However, Portnoy was left massively angered by the exchange after the reporter, who has not been named, ‘pulled a quote out of her a**’… from a made-up journal’, which suggested that the culture created by Barstool was responsible for the events over the weekend.
Portnoy, as shown in a video posted to X, responded by blaming anti-Semitism on college campuses before abruptly ending the session.
