A Barstool Sports bar in Philadelphia was thrust into the spotlight on Sunday as bottle-services waitresses held up a sign that read “f— the Jews.”
The video was posted on the Instagram account of Mo Khan and the video tagged Mike Wade. It showed the sign lit up with several other men and women partying without a care in the world.
The U.S.-based Stop Antisemitism advocacy group brought the incident to light on X.
Dave Portnoy appeared to be enraged by the incident.
“I’ve been shaking. I’ve been so f—ing mad for the last two hours,” Portnoy said in an “emergency press conference” video posted on social media. “… I’m going to make it my life’s f—ing mission to ruin these people. I’m coming to your throat, I’m never ending.”
Portnoy said he was on “the trail” for the last few hours to find the culprits behind the antisemitic sign.
“You think I’m going to put up with this s— at my bar?” he asked. “I want consequences for f—ing actions. So, I’m not just sitting back … no, trust me. I have been on it.”
WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEO
Portnoy said he had talked to one of the waitresses at the bar and described her as a “total idiot.” Another man, identified as Mike Wade, whose Instagram handle appeared in the video, wasn’t at the club, Portnoy said.
“I had this kid in tears turning state witness to me, rolling on the people there,” Portnoy said of Wade.
The Barstool Sports founder said Khan told him that he wasn’t “antisemitic.” But Portnoy said he didn’t believe him.

“Who the f— would do that sign in my f—ing bar? You think I’m just gonna sit here? I’m gonna make it my f—ing mission to put you in lights. My f—ing mission,” Portnoy said.
He said he the people were allegedly behind the sign to come up with a way to “make it right.”
“What I’m saying is, I’m getting the names, I’m trying to be a little responsible, I’m trying to keep it together, but I’m on it,” he said. “But I’m on it. I’m f—ing on it.”
Portnoy later said the two of the bottle girls who were at the bar had been fired.
“I have Mo Khan’s cell and talked to his buddy who did it,” Portnoy said. “I gave them 1 hour to make it right whether it be anti semitism classes etc. If it’s not up to snuff I’ll put em all in lights,” he wrote.
Khan has since deleted his Instagram account.
Antisemitism has been on the rise since the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorists attacks by Hamas on Jewish people in Israel.
The Anti-Defamation League said last month that the number of incidents in the U.S. reached a record high last year, with more than half of the 9,354 incidents being related to Israel.
