Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has rescinded his offer to send a customer on a tour of Auschwitz, a former Nazi concentration camp, after initially proposing the trip as a consequence for alleged antisemitic behavior at a Barstool-branded pub in Philadelphia.

Portnoy took to social media to explain the situation, stating that he initially offered two customers the opportunity to visit Auschwitz after they reportedly engaged in antisemitic actions at the Philadelphia establishment.
