Barstool Philadelphia's Appalling Antisemitic Display And Dave Portnoy's Surprising Response

Posted • May 5, 2025: A hate video goes viral on social media and almost immediately generates equally hateful responses. We've all seen it. Hate breeds hate.

He decided to use the incident as a teaching experience. Instead of using his platform to make life very uncomfortable for the identified offenders, he is going to send them on a trip to Auschwitz. He will try to educate the young men instead of humiliating them. (…)
