Ben Stiller, Sen. Dave McCormick and others praised Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy for how he handled the culprit of launching the “F—Jewish” logo in a company bar.
Portnoy said in a video Sunday that two men who launched anti-Semitic signage at Philadelphia agencies will be sent to Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland to learn about the Holocaust. More than 1.1 million Jews were killed in Nazi concentration camps at the site.

“On @StoolPresidente, not only does it immediately work to resolve the performance of the horror of hatred that was exhibited in Philadelphia last night, but it is also used to educate the tragic history of anti-Semitic hatred and violence.”
“We can't look at anti-Semitism in another way. Whenever it raises its ugly head, it needs to be identified, summoned and crushed.”
Stiller and Portnoy “agree” and the culprit was scorched earth. However, Portnoy finally relaxed and decided to educate the people on the horror of the Holocaust.
“Everyone needs to call when they see anti-Semitism. The actual work @StoolPresidente does to ensure change,” wrote CEO Linda Yaccarino of X.
“It's a big use,” Michele Tafoya, a journalist at Ex-NFL, added.
“Real leadership,” wrote former MMA fighter Chael Sonnen.
The “F—Jewish” sign appeared at one of the Barstool Sports bars in Philadelphia on Saturday. A man posting a video shows that others laugh, sing and dance while the music is bold in the background. The personality of the sports media initially said he was “deceiving these people.”
However, it looks cool.
“These are young f–who's done. They're drunk. Do you really want to ruin someone's life?” Portnoy said. “Honestly, I don't know what's going on in the world…I've been doing bars for 20 years and over the past year and a half, I have had more hatred, more anti-Semitism than ever before.”

“And I'm not talking about politics, nor what's going on in the Middle East – just hate a bunch of people. You hate my parents, you hate my grandparents – s– that's so, it's crazy.
Portnoy said he will try to turn the “terrible event” into a learning moment.
“I talked to the culprits I knew, to my family. I sent these kids to Auschwitz. They had agreed to go. It was of course a Holocaust concentration camp.

“We're going to send these kids to Auschwitz. They're going to visit the concentration camp (in Poland). Hope to learn something. Maybe their lives aren't ruined, they think twice before they go, and more importantly, others see that it's not just something you're going to throw away. To me, it's a fair result of the incident.”
Portnoy said two other waitresses involved in the incident were fired.
“I've been trembling all the time. I've been angry for the last two hours.” “I'm going to make my life's f–the mission of destroying these people. I'm going to throat, I'll never end.”
Anti-Semitism has been on the rise since October 7, 2023, with Hamas attacking terrorists on Israeli Jews.
