Dave Portnoy has dared one of his Barstool Sports employees to quit in a shocking rant during an exchange over Jewish jokes.
Portnoy, who recently made claims of antisemitism being through the roof in recent times, was discussing whether jokes about Jews should be allowed while on ‘The Unnamed Show’ and made his position pretty clear: they shouldn’t.
Kirk Minihane was of the view that jokes should not be policed, with the argument stemming from Dave being told “F**k the Jews” by a heckler in Toronto and the very same words showing up on a sign in his own bar.
Portnoy getting called out by another Barstool podcaster, Mick, who accused him of hypocrisy, with claims that he has used several racial slurs on camera, was also a source of contention.
The Barstool founder branded Mick “an anti-Semitic piece of s**t.”
“I don’t think it makes you anti-Semitic,” Minihane responded. “I think we just disagree.”
Minihane then went on to state that Mick should be able to make jokes, including calling him “Rabbi Dave.”
“That proves he’s anti-Semitic,” Portnoy said. “You don’t respond to ‘F**k the Jews’ by saying, ‘You’re a hypocrite, Rabbi Dave.’”
Portnoy then told Minihane to “shut up,” something the latter took umbrage at.

“Don’t tell me to shut up” he said.
“Shut the f*** up, you bald f***,” Portnoy shot back. “How’s that?”
“I’ll never recover from that, Dave, I’ll never recover,” Minihane replied.
Portnoy reminded Minihane who he works for, calling him the B-word.
“You work for me, you little b***h. You work for me,” he shouted.
“Sure, you bet. For now,” Minihane said.
“Oh you don’t? For now? Quit, I don’t care. You’re an idiot,” Portnoy said.
They carried on with the show after the tension broke…
Portnoy has taken plenty of criticism for his reaction, although some people think this was all planned.
Of course, it would be telling if Minihane actually quits.
