Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy has announced two firings amid some controversy involving his bar.

Portnoy’s Barstool Sports bar in Philadelphia was the scene of an unfortunate occurrence this weekend after a group of people receiving bottle service requested an explicit phrase be placed on the sign used to bring the bottles out.

The sign read “F**k the Jews” and has generated quite the storm on social media.

Portnoy, who’s Jewish himself, was extremely upset at the misstep.

The Barstool owner revealed that the two bottle service girls responsible have already been handed marching orders, while he has an idea who asked for the sign.

“The 2 bottle service girls who did it have already been fired,” he said in what he called an “Emergency Press Conference.”

“I gave them 1 hour to make it right whether it be anti semitism classes etc. If it’s not up to snuff I’ll put em all in lights.”

Portnoy’s frustration is certainly understandable. Not only is this a bad look for his establishment, but it’s a direct shot at him, given his ethnicity.

It’s also pretty puzzling how the bottle service people actually complied with such a request, as we imagine staying away from phrases slighting any race would be common sense.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
