A Temple University student, Mohammed Adnan Khan, has been placed on interim suspension after a widely condemned antisemitic incident at a Philadelphia bar owned by Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy. The controversy erupted when a bottle service sign reading “F**k the Jews” was displayed at Barstool Sansom Street on Saturday night, with video footage reportedly posted by Khan quickly circulating on social media
The incident drew immediate backlash from the public and university officials. Temple University’s president condemned the act, emphasizing that antisemitism has no place at the institution and confirming an ongoing investigation by the Division of Student Affairs
Dave Portnoy, visibly angered by the event, responded by firing two bar employees involved and initially offered to send Khan to Auschwitz as an educational response. However, Portnoy later withdrew this offer, stating that Khan was no longer cooperating and had shifted responsibility to others involved
As the story continues to unfold, the university and bar management are stressing accountability and education, while the community awaits further disciplinary actions.
