Portnoy says he spent all of Sunday morning tracking down everyone involved ... admitting he spoke to one of the waitresses, who he says has to be one of the dumbest people he's ever spoken to. He adds that he believes they've already been fired.
A antisemitic hate sign was held up inside a bar owned by Barstool Sports in Philadelphia, sparking a massive reaction online after a video showing employees with the sign was watched by thousands. Now the owner of Barstool, Dave Portnoy, who is Jewish, has announced he is paying to send the two employees involved to the site of Auschwitz, the Nazi concentration camp in Poland.
"And I’m not talking politics or what’s going on in the Middle East – just hating groups of people. You hate my parents, you hate my grandparents – s--- like that, it’s crazy. So, yeah, my initial reaction was I’m going to burn these people to the ground, their families, everything. And it’s like, you know what? Maybe that’s not the best course of action. Maybe I can use this as a teaching moment."
