Summary: rich out of town dudes bought a historic sports franchise, part of whose values comes from their Philadelphia identity. They then held this franchise hostage, and said either turn Center City/Chinatown into a living hell for the next half decade so that we can WHOLLY OWN a new arena, or we are taking the team to Jersey. Part ownership of the existing or new arena at the sports complex, wasn’t enough $$$ for them. New mayor caves.
But, “at least the Sixers are staying in Philly”? 🥴
