Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, posted mock pictures of “Hamas University” shirts in response to Harvard President Dr. Claudine Gay’s controversial comments about antisemitism.
Portnoy’s post went viral, and he stated that he would not hire graduates from Harvard, MIT, or the University of Pennsylvania until their presidents step down.
Gay issued a statement condemning violence against the Jewish community after facing public scrutiny for appearing to equivocate on antisemitism during her congressional testimony. (Trending: Biden Bank Records Reveal Another Massive Bombshell)

“These shirts kinda bang,” wrote Portnoy.
“At this rate we’re 1 step away from the Ivy Leagues offering courses on how 9/11 was actually the Jews fault,” Portnoy continued.
“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.”
“There are some who have confused a right to free expression with the idea that Harvard will condone calls for violence against Jewish students,” said Harvard’s President.
Adding, “Let me be clear: Calls for violence or genocide against the Jewish community, or any religious or ethnic group are vile, they have no place at Harvard, and those who threaten our Jewish students will be held to account.”
“We embrace a commitment to free expression, even [if they] are objectionable, offensive, hateful,” Gay had said in her Congressional testimony.
“It’s when that speech crosses into conduct that violates our policies against bullying,” she explained.
The controversy has sparked social media backlash and calls for Gay to resign.
