Deep dives
The Sign Incident at Portnoy's Bar
An incident at a bar owned by Dave Portnoy led to a significant controversy following an anti-Semitic sign displayed during a bottle service. Two customers wrote a derogatory phrase directed at Jewish people on a sign, causing Portnoy, who is Jewish, to launch an investigation. He subsequently fired two employees for allowing the sign and expressed a desire for the offending customers to learn about the Holocaust through a trip to Auschwitz. This situation ignited a fiery debate about accountability and freedom of speech, as one of the customers claimed he was merely documenting the sign and not responsible for the content.
