Popular Barstool host #BenMintz was fired from the company after saying a racial slur while reading rap lyrics on a livestream earlier this week. Mintz, known as Mintzy, received backlash when he said the N-word on his show, 'Wake Up Mintzy,' while rapping the song '1st of Tha Month' by Bone Thugz-N-Harmony on Monday. Two days later, Barstool President #DavePortnoy posted a video to #Twitter announcing that the company had fired the host. Portnoy added that Barstool's parent company, Penn Entertainment, had forced him to fire Mintz, claiming the decision was not his.
