Radio Host Dan Bernstein Exits 670 The Score Following Doxxing Threat Against Social Media User

Dan Bernstein’s long career at Chicago’s 670 The Score has come to an abrupt end. The radio station announced his firing during the midday show on Friday. Mitch Rosen, the vice president and brand manager of The Score, delivered the news to listeners, expressing gratitude for Bernstein’s years of service.

Bernstein’s departure follows a heated exchange on social media where he threatened to expose personal information about a critic who accused him of killing a fish in a recent photo. This incident escalated quickly, with Bernstein challenging the user to a fight and mentioning their address and phone number. The fallout from this online dispute led to Bernstein being taken off the air for the week prior to his termination.

Bernstein had been a fixture at The Score since 1995, earning a reputation as a prominent voice in Chicago sports media. His recent controversies, including a public feud with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, had already put him in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. Additionally, he was recently removed from the board of directors of Camp One Step, a Chicago charity for children with cancer.

The decision to let Bernstein go reflects the station’s response to his behavior, especially in light of the recent social media incident. Rosen concluded the announcement by wishing Bernstein well, marking the end of an era for both the host and the station.
