Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy erupted on social media on Sunday after learning that an anti-Semitic message had been written inside one of his Barstool-branded bars in Philadelphia.

Portnoy called an “emergency press conference” video posted on his X page and said he found a sign that read, “F*ck the Jews.”

“I’ve been shaking. I’ve been so fucking mad for the last two hours,” he said on the video. “I’m going to make it my life’s fucking mission to ruin these people. I’m coming to your throat, I’m never ending.”

Portnoy, who is Jewish, said he had already spent hours trying to identify who put the sign in the bar’s restroom.

“I’ve been on the trail,” he yelled. “You think I’m going to put up with this shit at my bar? I want consequences for fucking actions.”

He added that every employee working during the shift when the message was likely left has been fired.

He also said the bar is reviewing security footage and vowed to take more action if it was warranted.

“It’s disgusting,” he said. “It doesn’t reflect me, it doesn’t reflect Barstool.”

At one point in the video, Portnoy offered to fly the guilty party to Auschwitz so they could “get educated real quick.”

Barstool Sansom is one of several bars launched as part of the outlet’s expansion into the hospitality space,” Fox29 Philadelphia reported.

The venues are branded as extensions of Portnoy’s Barstool media company.

As of Sunday, Portnoy said no offensive messages were present in his bar. He also reiterated that there is “zero tolerance” for anti-Semitism at any pace under the Barstool banner.

“This was a vile, cowardly act!” he said. “We don’t stand for it, and we never will.”
