Late last night, Sixers/Devils Owner Joshua Harris decided to cut employees’ salaries by 20% in an effort to reduce layoffs during this crazy time.
To no one’s surprise, there was immediate blowback. Including Joel Embiid stepping up and funneling in $500k, proverbially pulling Josh Harris’s underwear over his head.
76ers star Joel Embiid says he is donating $500,000 to coronavirus relief and helping team workers who are temporarily reducing their salary during pandemic.

When Harris couldn’t take any more swirlies or noogies, he decided that he was wrong in a back-tracking notes app message.

What an insane move by leaving the entire paragraph highlighted.
I think we can all agree that in this situation, bullying works. The booing 76ers fans brought the Sixers staff another home win by saving their salaries. But, our work is not done. Rest your wrists, we have some more Indian Burns to dish out.
I want to challenge Josh Harris to cut his net worth by 20% and donate 700 million dollars to Philadelphia and South Jersey Hospitals and Charities.
