Philadelphia’s Unmatched Sports Frenzy
When it comes to sports, no city can rival Philadelphia’s passion and dedication. With a staggering seven professional teams calling the city home, a strong sense of camaraderie exists among them. Each team enthusiastically supports the others, fostering a unique and electric atmosphere.
A City United
The Philadelphia Phillies, Union, Flyers, and Wings all took to social media to congratulate the Eagles on their NFC Championship Game victory. Even the Philadelphia Waterdogs, who don’t yet have a permanent home in the city, joined in the celebration. It was a heartwarming display of unity, with every professional sports team in Philadelphia, except one, showing their support.
The Lone Outcast
The 76ers, however, remained eerily silent. Their only tweet since the Eagles’ win was an attempt to sell tickets to their upcoming game against the Nuggets. Not a single mention of the Eagles or their achievement. This blatant omission reeks of petty jealousy, and the fingerprints of Josh Harris, the team’s owner, are all over it.
A History of Pettiness
Harris’s history of sour grapes is well-documented. He was previously thwarted in his attempt to move the 76ers to a new arena, and his subsequent defeat at the hands of the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game only added to his humiliation. It’s clear that his ego is still smarting from these setbacks.
A Team Divided
By refusing to acknowledge the Eagles’ success, the 76ers have effectively disowned their Philadelphia roots. They may play their home games in the city, but their lack of solidarity with their fellow teams makes them outsiders. It’s hard to justify supporting a team that doesn’t embody the spirit of the city they represent.
A Potential Power Play
Rumors are circulating that Jeffrey Lurie, owner of the Eagles, is in the running to purchase the Boston Celtics. If true, this would be a deliciously sweet revenge against Josh Harris. Lurie has already brought a championship to Philadelphia, earning him the right to make bold moves. And in a city where football reigns supreme, Lurie’s potential acquisition of the Celtics would be a mere sideshow.
A Call to Action
It’s time for Josh Harris to realize that his petty antics have worn thin. The people of Philadelphia deserve better. Perhaps it’s time for him to sell the team to someone who truly understands the city’s spirit – like Jeffrey Lurie, maybe?
