Dave Portnoy says Barstool Sports won't hire anyone from MIT, Penn, or Harvard until their Presidents apologize for refusing to say antisemitic remarks constitute hate speech
MIT, Harvard and Penn alums hoping to make a living off pizza reviews and hot sports takes shouldn't bother applying to Barstool Sports.
Website founder Dave Portnoy has vowed to blackball applicants from those three prestigious schools until their respective presidents step down following their controversial congressional testimony on Tuesday, when they refused to ban anti-Jewish hate speech on campus.
'Not that this will make a huge difference but moving forward I will not hire any student who graduates from any of these schools until these Deans step down,' Portnoy wrote on Instagram, mistakenly referring to the university presidents as 'Deans.'
Portnoy was responding to congressional testimony by Harvard's Claudine Gay, Penn's Liz Magill and MIT's Sally Kornbluth, all of whom vowed to protect free speech when pressed by Republican committee members about rising antisemitism on campuses. Harvard and Penn in particular have faced backlash from prominent Jewish alumni and donors over what critics say have been slow or inadequate responses from the administrations denouncing behavior that these critics consider antisemitic.
Portnoy, a Jewish Massachusetts native who graduated from Michigan, blasted all three on Instagram, while calling for their removals.
