Is there beef between the Eagles and the Sixers?
Sixers managing partner Josh Harris is also the managing partner of the Washington Commanders.
As of early Monday afternoon, the Sixers were the only Philadelphia sports team that hadn’t publicly wished luck to the Eagles before–or extended a congratulatory social media post after–the Birds’ curb-stomp decisive victory over the Commies on Sunday.
Many observers think there could be a connection.
The Sixers being the only team to not acknowledge the Eagles NFC Championship win on social media because Josh Harris owns the Washington Commanders just further confirms that sometimes this franchise really doesn’t understand it’s fans/the city.

Wild that the @sixers didn’t put out a single tweet congratulating the #Eagles. Where’s the Brotherly Love?

No, the social media faux pas doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things. But it’s an unforced public relations error by the Sixers, who at 17-27 are not particularly popular at the moment.
It’s so on brand that the @sixers don’t recognize the Eagles win. Real Philly sports fans don’t care about the Sixers anymore.

Why not do the dumb post? Can this actually be related to some kind of petty Josh Harris directive?
On Pattison has reached out to the Sixers organization for comment.
Here’s what the city’s other teams posted to twitter on Sunday:
