Sixers Remain Silent as Philly Teams Celebrate Eagles' Super Bowl Berth

Following the Philadelphia Eagles' NFC Championship victory over the Washington Commanders, the city's sports teams celebrated, except for the 76ers, leading to speculation about the motivation behind their silence. Team owner Josh Harris, who owns both the 76ers and the Commanders, has come under scrutiny, with fans questioning whether his dual ownership influenced the Sixers' lack of congratulatory messages. Despite the Eagles clinching their second Super Bowl berth in three seasons, the Sixers' social media team only issued a muted acknowledgment two days later, raising eyebrows among the fanbase. Players like Kyle Lowry and Guerschon Yabusele attended the Eagles game and expressed excitement about the city's sports culture, contrasting with the 76ers' quiet response. This situation has ignited debates among fans regarding the optics of Harris's ownership and the perceived favoritism towards the Commanders. The Sixers' silence has not gone unnoticed, as other Philadelphia teams celebrated the Eagles' success enthusiastically.
