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.
Dave Portnoy Calls Emergency Press Conference
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.
Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.
The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.
The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”
However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.
It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.
Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.
The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.
Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.
This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
