A controversy has erupted involving Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and an antisemitic incident at Barstool Sansom Street, a Philadelphia bar owned by Portnoy. The incident centers on a sign displaying the phrase "F*** the Jews," which was allegedly posted by Temple University student Mohammed Khan. Khan filmed and shared the sign on social media, describing himself as a "citizen journalist." Portnoy accused Khan of uploading the video and initially offered to keep Khan's identity private if he accepted a trip to learn about the Holocaust, which Khan later declined. Khan has defended his actions and criticized Portnoy, claiming the founder has negatively impacted his life over free speech issues. Following the incident, Temple University suspended Khan and a second student connected to the event. The controversy has drawn wider attention, including criticism of Portnoy and involvement of extremist figures who have used the situation to promote unrelated agendas. Portnoy has threatened legal action against Khan, who continues to seek an apology. The incident has sparked ongoing debate over antisemitism, free speech, and accountability at the bar and within the university community.
