Dave Portnoy says there's been a "definitive shift" toward antisemitism: "People are coming up with real hate"

Barstool Sports President Dave Portnoy said in an interview with "CBS Sunday Morning" that he's experiencing daily antisemitism — a shift, he said, from the occasional hateful comments that he used to get.

"It's every day now. Like, there's a definitive shift in what's going on," Portnoy told Tony Dokoupil in an interview that will air next Sunday.

On Friday, Portnoy was recording a "One Bite" pizza review in Mississippi when someone yelled an antisemitic comment at him. His interview with Dokoupil was taped before the incident, but their conversation touched on a recent rise in hateful comments.

Portnoy said he feels that it's important for him to speak out. "For me, being a Jewish person, like, you got to step up," he said. "You're kind of someone people look up to in the Jewish community. You have to be, like, 'All right, this is not normal ha-ha with the guys. People are coming up with real hate.'"

here ya go...educate yourself..heres Portnoy and his employees laughing about the whole thing.

Yeah... about that... you're really going to pretend his employees wouldn't go along with the boss to protect their jobs.

If it was just trolling as you insist, he would have left the fake Twitter account up. They're playing it off as a trolling because he broke the law.

How long have you worked for Dave?

[basalt]

sorry...you are too old to understand any of this. Im not gonna go thru the entire history of Barstool Sports. Portnoy practically invented the digital “influencer” concept. You are a little too elderly to understand this..i can tell. All i know is Portnoy went from handing out a FREE 4 page newsletter to being worth over 300 million dollars now. The guy is brilliant. Plus i love his 2 dogs, Miss Peaches and Pete the Beagle. And he also just bought some nice race horses. I hope he makes a BILLION DOLLARS!! Now, go away and adjust your rabbit ears...

Yes, we have. There’s a whole regular crew of the cretins.

“ the atrocities he/they comitted in Gaza never happened”

Because they didn’t happen and are just lies spread by evil people or useful idiots.

The Israeli action was literally the most cautious and careful military operation in the history of the world to avoid death of civilians, at the price of Israeli lives.

The people who whine about Islamophobia are the same ones who hate the Jews.

I don't know you people lie through your teeth like this with a straight face. Worse, smear those who see, with their very own eyes. You have the nerve to call everyone not believing your utter horseshit "evil" and "idiots." We're all liars for noticing.

GFY d00d, you and your Masonic screen name. At least some who think like you have the wit to not insist what happened didn't, and that we all disconnect from reality and collectively unsee. They know that's impossible, so they instead justify the atrocity by comparing it to Dresden.

Depending on who's estimating on what criteria, 65-85% of the city has been completely destroyed. Tens of thousands killed. Uncountable maimed. Your icon, "Bibi" wanted the survivors forced out, and Trump almost fell for that... the very definition of "ethnic cleansing."

Here's your "most cautious and careful military operation in the history of the world." That statement would be a clown-joke if it wasn't so horrific.

So you are good with your side calling people names but not the other way around.

“ don’t know you people lie”

Norwegian? Or my 1/4 Irish part?

[bray]

Were you there? You do realize this was a war. When you have fighters in buildings those buildings get destroyed, but that does not mean they were not trying to protect civilians which they were.

[AAABEST]

Neither. I wasn't insinuating or ass-u-me ing anything. I don't know you.

Most, I think, particularly here on FR are NOT Jewish. Most jews are like all of us, just trying to get through life. Most Israelis started turning against Bibi's Gaza pogrom(s), for good reason.

I dare say it's mostly Hagee/CUFI heretics, dispensational "rapture" kooks, MIC profiteers and neocons who love sacrificing our treasury and young people for their own ends.

This is mostly an American phenomena, with places like Free Republic and Fox News as the few remaining strongholds. They have overplayed their hands and can no longer smear their way out of reality.

Discussions about Israel can now be had. Yes, unfortunately the real Jew haters come out of the closet as well, but that wouldn't be nearly as prevalant if *all conversation had not been shut down for so long.

Now it's a catharctic dam-burst, which I too am actually not comfortable with. I'm not anti-Israel, certainly not anti-Jew.

“Bibi’s Gaza pogrom”

No one that is not an anti-Semite (OK, maybe just an abject moron) would repeat such a silly lie.
