Dave Portnoy backs Robert Kraft after Macklemore ban: 110 percent

Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool, has expressed strong support for Robert Kraft's decision to ban Macklemore. According to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News, Portnoy criticized the rapper's politics and antisemitic history.

Robert Kraft, a Jewish and pro-Israel billionaire who owns Gillette Stadium, had recently made a statement regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The Jerusalem Post reported that Kraft said he would match English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran's donations to aid in the region. Kraft stated that he has dedicated his life to building bridges between all people and believes that all lives are worth protecting.

Kraft's statement generated mixed reactions, with some prominent anti-Israeli figures, including Turkish-American political activist Cenk Uygur, responding negatively. Uygur stated that Kraft would likely use the money to "help Israel kill more kids" and that he would use the rest to "cancel anyone who disagrees".
