Might as well start a thread on this.

Embiid, Olympic gold, new contract, Zero points, 1 technical foul and maybe a suspension for an altercation after a game. Never a dull moment as a 76ers fan. He may not play again until the all star break. :lol:

Shame he didn't have the opportunity to push him earlier. Could have had concurrent suspension and injury time off.

Marcus has had it coming for a long time. He's been writing hit pieces on Joel and almost all things Sixers for years. As his schtick has become stale he's only resorted to upping the ante on his inflammatory antics.

It's bad when all I have to do is see the headline for the link and I immediately know it's him.

I'm hoping the team rallies behind this and adds it to the "us against the world" narrative and we get a fn chip this season.

Adam Slither will take this opportunity to give a lifetime suspension to The Process. He's been flicking his forked tongue waiting for this moment!

Marcus is a bum and should be fired from the Philadelphia Inquirer long ago. What a loser!

Not only the Sixers but he also did it with the Eagles last season when he insisted that AJ Brown was a locker room cancer. He writes sensationalist stories for clicks.

I can't believe the Sixers gave this guy another $200mil. How can you continuously be so soft and get upset with clickbait trash from modern sports media?

Is that why you bangwagon to the fake north where no players want to join unless they are traded to.

I don’t blame Embiid for shoving the guy - most of us would do the same in that situation. I do blame the Sixers PR staff for not separating the two before the shove happened tho.

What does that have to do with the events at hand? Embiid just refuses to grow up. You should be more upset that Daryl Morey is your GM,

There are not many things more pathetic than opposing fans feeling a need to troll in another team's forum. It is a sure sign of a sad and empty life.

They're a Bengals fan; "a sad and empty life" is essentially their mantra.

More details. Turns out the initial post by Keith Pompey was texted, even though he wasn't in the room. Pompey was outside the room, heard the scuffle, then misrepresented the situation, and said he threw a punch. THen had to delete the tweet.

Derek said this in his PHLY discord server.

Adam Aaronson with the Philly Voice was present. He also says no punch was attempted.

Meanwhile here is the Inquirers hack journalism article. They are all trying to get a payday.

There has to be video of this, how can there not.
