Dave Portnoy Sends All Barstool Sports Staff To Auschwitz For Antisemitic Bottle Service Training
PHILADELPHIA, PA—Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has mandated that all employees undergo a week-long training program at Auschwitz following an antisemitic incident at Barstool Sansom Street.
Two waitresses approved a bottle service sign displaying an offensive message against Jews (“Fuck the Jews”), prompting Portnoy’s drastic response. The program aims to educate staff on appropriate signage for VIP tables.
The Auschwitz-based course, titled Bottle Service Sensitivity Training, includes lectures on hate speech recognition and historical context, led by Holocaust scholars. Employees will practice serving mock tables while avoiding inflammatory messages.
Portnoy, who is Jewish, stated the measure ensures no repeat of the incident, which he called a betrayal of celebrating Jews being successful.
At publishing time, Dave Portnoy, also known for his “one bite” pizza reviews, scored a bottle service sign during training a 9.4/10 that read, “Jews Rule the World.”
